Natural Beauty DIY: Softening and sunburn soothing mask

We all love cold popsicles, dips in the pool, and long days during summer.

But no one loves the after effects of a scorching hot day at the beach – sunburn.  I am somewhat fair and unfortunately am prone to getting those hot, unsightly patches of reddened, sun exposed skin.  I’m thinking about paying more visits to the pool and am definitely liberally applying sunblock.  But if I still get some lobster like sunburn spots, I’m glad to have found an easy solution to soothing that red skin.  This is another easy and natural beauty DIY that will definitely cool me down after a hot summer day!
