Today?s Pinterest finds include speedy DIY sunburn relief and a product designed to simplify your next shopping trip.
Aloe vera ice cubes -? My own childhood was peppered with gangly, overgrown, window sill aloe plants. For the women who reared me, a freshly-plucked leaf with aloe gel dripping from its wound was the go-to remedy for minor cuts and scrapes.
But applying this natural salve directly from those fleshy fronds can be messy and wasteful. So here?s an innovative idea shared in various crafting blogs and recently re-pinned by Real Simple magazine.
Transform aloe vera ointment into on-the-go sunburn relief by using an ice cube tray to freeze individual portions of it. Just make sure you?re freezing fresh, natural aloe, not a lotion byproduct, which may not freeze at all. If you don?t have an aloe plant on hand, check out the all-natural section of a nearby grocery store. Once you have that gel, mix a little water into the potion to ensure frozen-solid cubes? what could be more refreshing to the skin during a hot day in the sun?
