Sunburn Massage Oil

Sunburn is skin damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) rays. Too much exposure to UV light can make skin red, painful, warm, and tender to the touch. This may later lead to blistering and peeling skin. An essential oil blend is a topical treatment that can be applied directly to the sunburnt skin to cool and moisturise it, helping to relieve the feeling of tightness and help to soothe the skin. Mary Li uses avocado unscented carrier oil, to dilute the oils for topical application on the skin. Chamomile and lavender have been used as a medicinal herb for thousands of years to treat burns thanks to their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Peppermint oil creates a pain-relieving effect by stimulating cold receptors on the skin, dilating blood vessels giving a cooling and numbing effect. Adding Tea tree and Wild Carrot seed oil gives the blend antifungal antibacterial anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that helps restore inflamed skin, repair sun damage, prevent peeling and kill bacteria without damaging underlying skin cells.
