  By Roechelle Adair

Even the best sunscreens on the market can’t always protect the skin from getting burnt, so chances are, at some point during the months of warmer weather, your skin will be assaulted with mild to moderate sunburn. Sunburn is certainly annoying – it hurts, peels and irritates. For most, the typical way to remedy the situation of sunburn is to lotion more frequently until the annoying symptoms subside. However, there are better ways – one of which is soaking in this calming anti-sunburn bath soak.

Baths by themselves can be very soothing and healing for troubled skin, however, with the aid of milk, aloe and oats its even better. This bath soak recipe pairs whole milk which is loaded with lactic acid and alpha hydroxy acid for cell renewal and collagen production. The aloe’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties promotes faster healing and the oats soothes and softens the sun-burnt skin.
