Sunburn Sigh

Herbs can be very soothing to skin that’s been overexposed to the sun. The chamomile and witch hazel in this
recipe are soothing and cooling, and the green tea is full of anti-oxidants. Test your remedy before applying it all
over, though, because not everyone reacts to every herb the same way.

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon chamomile owers
  • 1 tablespoon witch hazel leaf or green tea

Make an infusion (strong tea) of chamomile and witch hazel or chamomile and green tea by pouring the water over the herbs and steeping for about 20 minutes. Strain and cool, then dab on burned skin, or add to bath water.
