After-Sun Aloe Treatment

1/4 cup aloe vera gel

1 cucumber, peeled and diced

20 drops lavender essential oil

I love spending time in the sun, but it’s safe to say that we’ve all overstayed our outdoor welcome before and gotten a bit too sun-kissed. I definitely recommend avoiding overexposure to the sun as much as possible (it can lead to premature aging even years after the actual exposure), but if you come home looking akin to a lobster, definitely treat yourself with this after-sun concoction.

Place aloe vera gel and cucumber in a blender, and blend on low until smooth. Stir in lavender essential oil. Massage into affected areas. Rinsing is optional.
