Time for the Summer Fun and Activities!!
Welcome to Summer!!
One thing I love about Michigan in the summer is the abundance of "Green" outside. Everywhere you turn, you see Green on the trees, Green in
the Grass and Green in the garden. Michigan is such a beautiful place to see and
experience at this time. On top on the Green almost everywhere you can turn is
the Blue lakes, river and streams in which you can take a moment look at the water;
to review the times spend with the family on a fishing, boating or swimming activities
of your prior Summer Years. We are blessed to live in a state that is full of the natural
resources that you would not find as easily in other parts of the county.
Now is the time to enjoy the weather (we only have a true summer for three to four
months as almost Michiganders know)
But along with all that Summer Fun and Activities comes the pain and agony of the sunburn.
Getting burned is absolutely no fun, when you deal with that burn quickly you will likely
have a major effect in reducing the pain, discomfort, and length of time that burn will last.
Don't think you’ve got to run off to the store and buy up a lot of burn creams and first aid
supplies to deal with it. Most of these expensive creams contian harsh chemicals and can
turn your sunburn into a sticky, uncomfortable mess. They’re filled with water, emollients,
and mineral oil that hardly any of the cream is actually able to penetrate and help your
skin heal.
The best first aid for sunburns that everyone should have in their kit is pure aloe.
Pure Aloe Barbadensis Jelly is far more potent and healing than any water based
cream you could buy.
If you slather Aloe Jelly on a burn it soothes your damaged skin immediately, the gel
actually soaks into skin and begins to heal the damaged tissue on contact.
Slather on enough gel to cover the area completely. Extend the coverage of the Aloe
to 1 to 2 inches around the whole sunburn. This ensures that the skin surrounding the
damage area stays calm and is soothed as well.
Reapply Aloe as needed to keep the sunburn moist and cool.
There are a lot of Aloe Gels and Jellies on the market these days. Most are bright green
to make them look natural and Aloe rich. Don't be fooled, this is just the effect of grinding
the whole Aloe plant up or added coloring.
The best Aloe is completely clear and odorless. That way you're sure to be getting more
Pure Aloe Jelly and less dyes, pigments, and fragrance. Aloe that's been cold stabilized is
also more essential because heat cooks the goodness out of aloe.
This is only my opinion on the first aid methods I would use on sunburn and is not meant
to diagnose or prescribe treatment. Be smart about your health and your skin care!
Here’s to your fun in the sun!
