Ease Your Sunburn with these great Bath Bombs [And Oils]

The first thing to note is that a bath Bomb is not the most effective treatment for sunburned skin. In the first instance, prevention is better than cure, however, should you miss a spot, after Sun aloe vera is an option as listed below. For the meantime, what is the best Bath Bomb for sunburn?

Bath bombs have staple ingredients that are well known as treatments for sunburn. They include Baking Soda or cornstarch, as well as coconut oil. Essential oils too are used commonly in sunburn treatments and include

• Peppermint oil
• Lavender oil
• Tea Tree Oil
• Chamomile oil
• Eucalyptus oil

Best Overall Bath Bomb for Sunburn

Looking for bath bombs that contain some of the top tipped oils above, the final decision came down to a box of 6 bath bombs that offer an optionsbetween lavender and Eucalyptus.

Natural Organic Bath Bomb Gift-Set – Coconut, Hemp and Essential Oils with a Blend of Refreshing Eucalyptus and Soothing Lavender

With a mixture including coconut oil, there are both Eucalyptus and Lavender bath bombs in the eco-friendly packaging. The natural organic bath bombs from Dr Hempster [The Brand] are also vegan friendly.

Conveniently available at Amazon, click here for today’s price.

Handmade in the USA, these bath bombs include several ingredients that will help with easing the sun burn you have gotten.

Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus oil has cooling properties which will help soothe recently sunburned skin. Also antibacterial, along with the coconut oil and baking soda in this bath bomb, we have an excellent combination to ease the effects of too much sun.

Again, I should point out that a bath bomb on it’s own is not sufficient treatments for sunburn and a dedicated product like Aloe vera gel [see section below], should be a priority.

Lavender

Lavender has both anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. Both great for soothing sun burn and speeding up the healing process. The way that the lavender oil gets to your asking is through the mixture with the coconut carrier oil.

An alternative to using lavender oil for sun burn with a bath bomb is to mix it directly with something like coconut oil and apply directly to the skin

Try this recipe

• 1/2 tsp coconut oil
• 4 drops of lavender oil
• 2 drops of lemon oil
• 2 drops of peppermint oil
