Bring on the Sunshine!

We recently took a much needed family vacation to Florida. I was so looking forward to lazy days on the beach followed by four days at Disney World but I set myself up for an epic fail. I was so conscientious in applying sunscreen to the kiddos and even sat in the shade myself...with my legs hanging out from under the umbrella. Doh! I got a terrible sunburn on my shins on the first day of our 10 day trip! I found myself without my home made after sun spray and was forced to use an off the shelf aloe gel, that provided little relief. Many commercially available aloe gels are also packed with chemicals and contain little real Aloe Vera. Take a look at the The Environmental Working Group scores for many common  brands . Imagine walking around Disney for four days with a painful sunburn on your legs. Ouch! The peeling didn't subside until we were on our way home. I'm still kicking myself for forgetting my miracle after sun spray. Check out the difference this spray made in just a couple days with a previous sunburn! I never blistered or peeled! It just goes to show that home remedies really do work! You can check out my recipe here and find ingredients here
