Body Products - Cherry Blossom
I just bought my first batch of Bing Cherries at the grocery store which is a sure sign that summer is here. Cherries are one of those treats in life that is impossible to resist – once I start eating there’s just no stopping. How, you ask, will I weave this into the spa gift theme of this blog? Easy….cherries, summer, sun, suntans, sunburns, moisturizers…..there you go.
A friend of mine came to work last Monday with a sunburned face that could easily have been described as cherry red. “It happened quickly”, he said. He was delivering the children to their various sporting events and cheering from the bleachers with the other proud Papas. It didn’t seem so bad at first but, sunburns just keep burning.
We’ve talked about the preventatives – sun screen (lots of it and applied often), lip balm, a hat with a brim, sun glasses, and sitting in the shade. But, in this case, the damage is done so, what to do now. Keep the burned skin cool with wet towels and consider taking a cool bath which will make your entire body feel better. Apply aloe, moisturizing cream or over-the-counter hydro-cortisone cream to the affected skin. Beware of sunburn treatment products containing anesthetics, such as benzocaine. There’s little evidence that these products are effective. In some cases, they may even irritate the skin. It might help to take anti-inflammatory medication — such as aspirin or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) — according to the label instructions until redness and soreness subside.
Keep lots of soothing moisturizers and lotions handy over the course of the summer….cherry scented or otherwise. Our our wrapping can really take a beating out there so give yourself and others bath gifts that will keep you well stocked for the season.
