Natural Remedy Soothing Gel :  1tsp or 5ml of aloe vera gel and 5 drops of pure lavender essential oil.  Blend together well and apply to reddened skin

Lavender essential oil is also a wonderful skin soother and is useful in the treatment of sunburn.

Another sunburn treatment is a Cooling Bath .  Adding 10 drops of lavender pure essential oil to a cool bath makes a good, simple herbal home remedy for sunburn. Some other skin healing tips include beta carotene, vitamins A and C and zinc which will help to combat skin damage. Re-moisturize the skin by applying vitamin E in the form of wheat germ oil or a natural vitamin E capsule pierced and added to 1 tbsp of your moisturizer. This will help the skin to heal, prevent peeling and reduce the risk of blisters.
