DIY After Sun Lotion

RECIPE FOR HOME MADE DIY AFTER SUN LOTION

You know the feeling of crisp sun baked salty touch, suncream oily but dry skin.

A good day outside in Fuerteventura, especially during the summer will take its toll on your skin.

Using a high solar protection is a must, if you are windsurfing, it must be waterproof, water resistant and long lasting.

Still our skin can use a little help and the best way is by giving it extra liquid, veg oil and vitamins.

Cooling it as if you burned will help your skin stay fresh and hydrating from the inside is KEY to a healthy happy skin!

You can find all these ingredients very easy on the island!

 Set up a big or deep bowl, a ciff and a sharp knife and spoon.

Ingredients:

AloëVera, preferably the green thick leaves from the bottom till the tip

Coconut oil, the one you can eat.

Optionally: herbs or scrub

We love the power of calendula, we use it a lot, its healing, anti bacterial and powerfull..

Some days we add the tiniest bit of dried grounded, used coffee (preferably not in your morning cream), to scrub and energize the skin with.

BEcareful with the Aloë, it makes stains and has poisonous parts.

We take the jelly part from the inside and rinse it for a few minutes in a bowl of clean water, i keep it in the ciff while soaking it in the water.

Add a few good spoons of coconut oil with the Aloe Vera in a deep bowl (hand mixer) or blender and mix till soft and smooth.

store it in your fridge for a few days while using it.

Enjoy!!
