A skin savior, aloe vera gel, comes to the rescue after a monster sunburn. A natural, holistic approach to after sun skin care. I’ll be teaching you an easy two-ingredient recipe resulting in your own homemade moisturizing cream.

This cactus like plant contains a gel inside its spiky leaves that contains loads of medicinal properties people have been using for thousands of years. Aloe vera gel can be used for consumption or topical use. The main reason people consume the gel is for the antioxidants, vitamins, and the digestive relief it provides. External uses include; treating a variety of skin conditions, burns, psoriasis, frostbite, cold sores, etc. 

I should mention if your burn is severe you should consult a doctor before applying aloe. However, if your sunburn is mild let’s dive right in! We will be creating a paste from the gel and coconut oil.

Step 1: Have your aloe vera plant handy. If you do not have the plant you can buy the leaves at the supermarket or purchase pure aloe vera gel.
