According to scientific studies, the skin actually keeps burning long after your sun exposure has ceased, and in case you forget to cover up and apply sunscreen, the resulting sunburn can be painful as well as dangerous. It may actually take up to 24 hours before the full damage is visible but first-degree sunburns cause redness and will heal, possibly with some peeling, within a few days. These can be painful and are best treated with cool baths and moisturizers, but there are also ingredients such as cucumber, yoghurt, aloe vera, all known for their soothing & healing properties, making them ideal to treat sunburn. Here’s a few of my tried & tested after-sun treatments that won’t reverse the damage, but will help with the heal:

So how do you get glowing and gorgeous in one easy step? Body Polish, body scrubs, body exofliants! In my opinion body polish is underrated and under-appreciated as one of the great beauty products of all time.

Body polish or scrubs are usually comprised of sugar or salt grains (but there are various options available) and a gorgeous assortment of base oils, butters, flower essences, herbs and essential oils. By using a body exfoliant a few times a week you stimulate circulation, encourage cell renewal, get rid of toxins & dead skin cells, plus the grains buff your skin into super smooooooth. Organic oils and butters leave your skin ultra soft and glowing to the point where you don’t need moisturizer - and the whole thing happens in the shower in about 30 seconds flat - a bonus if you’re as time challenged as I am!

I have several favorites but this is one of my current obsessions - Lilikoi (passionfruit) & Lemongrass Body Polish from Malie. With organic virgin coconut oil, cocoa & mango butters, Lilikoi has a deliciously tart and delicate scent, while lemongrass has a bright citrus fragrance that’s full of life, zest and vitality. Let me tell you, these two scents will kick start your day faster than a double espresso! You’ll be uplifted, invigorated, exfoliated and softened all in a state of tropical bliss. Ahhhhhh … perfect for Summer. Writer :: Emma Pezzack - www.futurenatural.com: the best organic beauty products in the world.
