Sunburn Relief

This past weekend my little family visited a metro water park with my mom, sister, and nephews. After I prepped Kiddo with his sun precautions, he was up and running. The only problem with this is that Daddy-O was left to take his own sun precautions. After about 2 hours at the park we sat in the shade for a moment, it was during this time I noticed how "crispy" Daddy-O's back was.

When we got home Daddy-O was feeling his sunburn. You could tell where he attempted to get his back by the un-burned lower back and shoulders, the rest of his back was a mess. We broke out the lavender oil and got him some relief as quickly as we could. You see, lavender essential oil has amaxing soothing properties along with anti-inflammatory benefits that make it a great oil for soothing skin. After each application Daddy-O informed me that the burn was feeling much better. It has been 5 days since the initial burn and there is still a little pink left but no peeling or blisters in sight.

We love our lavender oil and the purpose it serves for our family. Now if only I could get Daddy-O to ask for help ;)
