After Sun Lotion DIY
This soothing DIY after sun lotion is great for sun burn relief (or after any sun exposure), it is super moisturizing, helps heal bug bites, and smells amazing! I make this every summer and often apply it daily for healthy glowing skin!
Materials
- 1/2 Cup Coconut Oil Softened
- 1/2 Cup Pure Aloe Vera
- 3 tbsp Calendula Infused Jojoba Oil optional- you could use just jojoba oil
- Splash of Apple Cider Vinegar
- 20 Drops of Lavender Essential Oil
- 10-20 Drops of Essential Oils of Choice I love Helichrysum and Spruce or Peppermint
Instructions
- In a glass mixing bowl, begin by softening the coconut oil (do not melt). Aggressively stir or whip the coconut oil until it becomes creamy and airy.
- Stir in the remaining ingredients to incorporate until they are well combined and you've reached a creamy texture.
Notes
To get all the benefits from this after sun lotion it is important to use high quality organic essential oils that don't contain any additives or synthetic fragrances. My favorite brand for essential oils is Mountain Rose Herbs.
