Cooling the Summer Heat when you've got a Sunburn!

 The dog days of summer have arrived and you've had your fun in the sun, but are you paying for it now?

 Recently after spending a long day mowing a couple acres in bathing suit top, soaking up the sunshine, a friend of mine discovered the not so fun part of summer, sunburn.

 Here are some tips to take out the heat:

1. Apply a solution of 2. Vinegar and 1 c. water- mixed in a spray bottle.
2. Strong Iced Tea (made from infused teabags, no sugar please!)
3. Witch Hazel
4. Apply a paste of baking soda and water, allow to set.

 MYO Soothing Sunburn "Lotion"

• 1 c. White Vinegar
• 5 T. Salt
• 5 T. Plain Yogurt
• 2 T. Aloe Gel

 Combine until well blended, store in fridge. To use, shake well and then smooth over affected areas.

 Caution: If you experience chills, fever, blisters or rash, you may have sun poisoning. Contact a Physician!
