So, Ursula what product do you use to keep your face moist?

I don't! I drink plenty of water. Skin moisture begins inside the body.. hydrate hydrate hydrate. Also avoid over-exposure to the elements like sun and wind. But for all you Sun worshippers here is some tasty homemade remedies from  Organic Body Care Recipes by Stephanie Tourles.

Aloe After-Sun Relief Spray
     1 cup aloe vera juice
     20 drops of lavender essential oil
     10 drops rosemary (chemotype verbenon) essential oil
Place all ingredients in storage container and shake well to blend before use. Refrigerate, use within 4-6 months. Spray on skin (for sunburn/windburn relief, all manner of skin irritations and bug bites)

Sunburn Relief Suggestions
  • Add 2 cups apple cider vinegar to cool bath water and soak for 10-20 minutes
  • Apply cold aloe vera gel directly to sunburn
  • Apply cold, strong, regular black pekoe tea directly to sunburn with soaked cotton pads.
  • Spray chilled lavender or chamomile hydrosol directly onto sunburn to relieve inflammation.
Enjoy the summer and stay cool
