Beauty Tips For Body Care
*disclaimer: I am not a doctor just a dumb girl who got lucky please seek medical help if you have sun poisoning*I committed the worst crime: I forgot my sunscreen. I spent about 3 hours in the sun unprotected and unsurprisingly walked away with a pretty gnarly burn across my shoulders, chest, and face. I had the typical sun poisoning symptoms so I went to my doctor and it turns out there’s nothing to be done about a bad burn except slather aloe on and be patient, however my shoulders were too painful to wear any clothing lay down or lift my arms and as a retail employee, waiting was not an option. Then...I remembered an old wives tale that a black tea compress could help heal scrapes and cuts and I decided to give it a try. I brewed some really strong black tea (3 bags to 1/2 cup of water) and soaked some paper towels and left them on my skin for a few hours and OH MY GOODNESS my skin has changed from almost purple to light pink and is no longer hot to the touch and I’m pretty much pain free. DEFINITELY give this a try next time you mess up it saved me from a long week of pain and sticky aloe lotion
