Everyone has their day in the sun during summer. Some people are less fortunate than others and go home looking like freshly boiled lobsters. You\u2019ve seen that bright red skin that stands out from 100 feet away. Although sun exposure is beneficial, sunburn is not. When the skin is burnt to a bright red, you need immediate relief. The soothing sunburn<\/a> ice cubes in this article can help promote faster healing and provide relief. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a quick note, it\u2019s important for everyone to lather up with a skin-safe sunscreen<\/a> when going out in the sun. If you plan to stay in the sun for long periods of time, make sure to seek shade when possible, hydrate all day long, and reapply sunscreen every couple hours. That may not seem like the most fun thing to remember, but it can help keep your skin safe. For when you let yourself cook a little longer in the direct sunlight and get burnt, you will need to soothe the skin immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunburn Soothing Ice Cubes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many cooling sprays, after sun gels<\/a>, lotions, and other natural remedies that can help soothe sunburns. They only last for so long in the fridge before they go bad, though. They are easy to make, but you still have to spend the time to prepare them. Why not have something that won\u2019t go bad and is always cooling and soothing? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aloe vera is a great plant to have at your house. It is a low-maintenance succulent and the gel inside the plant has soothing properties that can help accelerate the recovery of sunburns<\/a>. Researchers note that aloe vera contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe inflamed skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the soothing ice cubes, many experts do not recommend placing ice on sunburns. The reason for this is because the cold acts as a vasoconstrictor, which reduces blood flow to the area and slows healing time. If you add vasodilating herbs to the ice cubes, though, they can help increase blood flow and solve that issue. Plus, you get the cooling relief<\/a> from the frozen cubes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comfrey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This plant stimulates tissue repair and works to help the body form healthy skin cells. It is also beneficial for sore joints and damaged skin. Studies have shown that comfrey can help soothe and heal damaged skin. And just like marshmallow root, which is also in these soothing sunburn cubes, comfrey is a demulcent that helps provide a protective barrier over tissues<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lavender<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lavender is an all-around soothing herb that is especially gentle on the skin. It lends itself to a variety of DIY skin care products, so a lot of DIY enthusiasts keep lavender essential oil on hand. Lavender may help disinfect wounds and cuts and acts as an analgesic to soothe pain. It is frequently applied to burns to help soothe the skin and promote faster healing. Lavender also helps to increase circulation<\/a> to the skin, which accelerates recovery time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calendula<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Calendula is very similar to lavender, in that it is a great all-around herb. It is very gentle and great for all skin types<\/a>. Many studies confirm that it can help soothe inflammation and reduce the severity of cuts, burns, sunburns, rashes, and cuts. Calendula may also help move lymphatic fluid and improve blood circulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marshmallow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Slippery marshmallow works to coat and cool irritated skin, while simultaneously adding moisture. The roots, flowers, and leaves of marshmallow root all exhibit anti-inflammatory properties. You can use leaves and flowers for the cubes (below) or you can use the roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peppermint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Peppermint<\/a> has a natural cooling effect, making it a great addition to soothing sunburn cubes. The mint plant is also a vasodilator, which stimulates circulation<\/a> and helps create a warming feeling. If you combine mint with cool or cold ingredients, it feels refreshing on the skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herbal Ice Cubes To Soothe Sunburns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • 2 cups water <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 tablespoon each: lavender flowers, comfrey leaf, peppermint leaf, marshmallow root, and calendula flowers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1\/4 cup aloe vera gel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Instructions:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Pour the water into a small pot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Add the herbs to the pot, cover with a lid, and remove from heat. Allow the herbs to steam for 15 minutes. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Strain the herbs out, which will leave you with about one and three-quarter cups of tea. Put that herbal tea in the fridge to cool. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Once the herbal tea is no longer hot, add the aloe vera gel and stir to combine. Pour this mixture into ice cube trays and freeze. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Pop out an ice cube after coming home with a sunburn and apply it to the affected area. You can wrap the ice cube in a paper towel if you need to.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
