Several days ago I went to the beach with my best friend. While there is nothing odd about me spending some time at the beach with my best friend, the fact that I fell asleep in the sun is something that I never do. I woke up two hours later and was cooked like a lobster. When I got home, I took a cool bath and asked my husband if he would use some of the essential oil that I recently ordered from the Internet and rub it on my skin across my back where I couldn’t reach. He was more than happy to use the essential oil, but he also commented several times that he couldn’t believe I’d fallen asleep and that I was certainly going to peel and be in a lot of pain the following morning. I explained that it was why I was using the essential oil in hopes that it would moisturize my skin and help sooth it, plus help keep it from peeling. At this point I’ve been using it twice a day since I fell asleep and so far, I think the essential oil is working. I haven’t had any sore skin, and that alone has been great.
