After The Sunburn Salve Items Needed:
16 oz Aloe Vera Gel 1 oz Jojoba Oil 20-30 Drops Essential Oil of Lavender
Preparation:
Blend well, apply liberally to any sunburn.
I have also found this works well on most skin irritations, i.e. poison ivy, shaving irritation. It is a wonderful skin healer. I also recommend adding Tea Tree Oil for its antibacterial properties- 15-20 drops for this amount will do, and/or Orange or Grapefruit for their relaxing properties, 10 drops.

Calendula Salve Calendula salve is easy to make, but it requires advance planning because you first need to infuse the calendula flowers in oil and let them steep for at least one week. 1�? cup dried calendula flowers 1�? cup extra-virgin olive oil 1�? cup grated beeswax 40 drops lavender essential oil To make the infused oil, put calendula flowers into a pint-size canning jar. Add the olive oil and stir well. Cover the jar with a lid and place the jar in a sunny window. When the oil turns a deep golden yellow (this generally takes one to two weeks), strain the oil through several layers of cheesecloth to remove the flowers. To make calendula salve, combine the calendula oil with the grated beeswax in a small, heavy saucepan. Heat gently until the beeswax is melted. Add lavender essential oil. Pour the mixture into wide-mouth glass jars. Let the salve cool, and cover with a lid. When stored in a cool, dark place, calendula salve will stay fresh for approximately one year. |
