So, my wonderful roommate, Kelly, devised this mixture to help me nurse a pretty nasty sunburn I got when vacationing on Lake Michigan (gorgeous, perfect, wonderful weekend. :D) She researched all of the known natural remedies to sunburns and combined a few of them! It worked wonderfully and my face, and hers, benefited mucho from the healing, amazing powers of the concoction!!
Here's how ya do it.
Boil 1/2 cup of water, steep 6 bags of plain ol' black tea and one bag of chamomile in the water until it looks like black death. While you're waiting for it to steep, combine half a cup of oat flour, (we just made it in the magic bullet, but you can use pre-made or do it in a blender or food processor) half a cup of milk, three tablespoons of honey, a heaping tablespoon baking soda, 1/4 cup cornstarch and stir!! When the tea is done steeping, remove the bags and slowly add the other mixture to the tea, heat on a medium low heat until it is thick and porridge-y. Cool in the fridge or freezer until it is about room temperature. Use either your hands or a paintbrush/pastry brush to apply. This will dry in about 10 minutes without a fan and about five with a fan. The fan can help whisk away heat if you're using to treat a sunburn, if you're just doing it as a facial the fan isn't necessary.
Get ready for smooth tight skin and a remedy for your sunburn! Dr. Kelly works her magic again. :)

Yes, I realize that it looks like I'm rubbing baby spit-up on myself, but ladies and gentleman, it was such a sweet relief for my sunburn that I did not care. :)
