How to Use Lavender Water to Soothe Sunburned Skin:
Step 1: Clean the affected area
Gently clean the sunburned area with a mild cleanser, such as Fatima’s Garden Black Beldi Soap, to remove any dirt or impurities. Be cautious not to rub or scrub the skin, as this can cause further irritation. Rinse the area with lukewarm water and gently pat dry with a clean, soft towel.
Step 2: Chill the Lavender Water
For an extra soothing effect, place your bottle of Fatima’s Garden Lavender Water in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before use. Chilled Lavender Water can help to reduce inflammation and provide a cooling sensation on sunburned skin.
Step 3: Apply Lavender Water
Saturate a soft cotton pad or clean cloth with chilled Lavender Water, and gently dab it onto the sunburned area. Be careful not to press too hard or rub the skin, as this can cause further irritation. You can also pour a small amount of Lavender Water into a clean spray bottle and mist it directly onto the affected area for easy application.
Step 4: Let the Lavender Water absorb
Allow the Lavender Water to absorb into your skin for a few minutes. Do not rinse it off, as it will continue to provide soothing and healing benefits as it absorbs.
Step 5: Repeat as needed
Reapply Lavender Water to the sunburned area as needed throughout the day to provide continuous relief and promote healing.
Step 6: Moisturize
Once the sunburned area starts to heal, apply a gentle, hydrating moisturizer like Fatima’s Garden Argan or Prickly Pear Seed Oil to help nourish and repair the skin.
