Ah Summer, the kids are outside and forget to put their sunscreen on, or you're at the beach and forget to reapply that sunscreen and the next thing you know- rock lobster time!
Or you're trying to pull cookies out of the oven with a potholder and one of the darling angels of joy screams at the top of their longs, you drop to cookie sheet and hit your hand on the 350 degree oven and get a nice first degree burn (to go along with the cardiac check, your thoughtful angel who was screaming at their sibling, provided for you).
Anybody wanna raise a hand if you've been there?
Well I have the first aid solutions for both of these Summer problems thanks to Welmedix!
First up- Sunburn Care!
SunBurnt gel is formulated specifically to address the key symptoms of sunburn overheating and dryness of skin, peeling, pain and redness.
Its natural homeopathic extracts act safely and effectively to
- cool overheated skin,
- soothe and hydrate skin
- reduce the appearance of unsightly redness & peeling.
SunBurnt’s homeopathic active ingredients work with the body’s natural healing mechanism to restore the skin’s health and moisture balance.
Only SunBurnt after sun gel contains a patented combination of three active naturals (Calendula, Cantharis, and Echinacea) plus non-sticky aloe to provide superior after sun recovery.
I got to use the gel pretty much right after receiving it, as I forgot the sunscreen on ME for the 4th of July parade Miss Grace was in! Thankfully it was overcast and I just had a little bit of burn on one arm (who knows why just the ONE, LOL). I was really impressed with how quickly the itch and dry feeling stopped once Sunburnt was applied! It felt like aloe that had been left in the fridge (how we always kept ours!). Within 2 days the burn was all gone too! Calendula is a miracle herb- we use it on our bruises all the time to speed up healing! And that is the BEST part of this cream- it's natural and safe to use on your kids!
I wish we had had this with us when we went on vacation the last 2 years- I managed to get burned both times! I will definitely be taking ti with us this year!
Sunburnt Gel is available at your local CVS and Walgreens pharmacies, as well as other locations nationwide! You can sign up on the Sunburnt website and get a $1 off coupon too!
And For home injuries- FirstDegree Burn Care Cream
FirstDegree Burn Cream is the only over-the-counter all-in-one patented cream specially formulated to care for, and treat, epidermal burns that occur in the everyday home setting, while cooking, grilling, curling or straightening hair, and working in the garage. (It also comes in a maximum pain relief burn spray) It soothes and cools the burn, protects against infection, and helps reduce the appearance of scars. Its unique patented ingredients (including Calendula, Cantharis, and Echinacea, like in Sunburnt), work with the body to help heal minor burns; providing a more complete burn care solution for consumers. Note: The spray also includes Benzoicaine for pain relief and Triclosan for antiseptic purposes
For adults and children two years of age or older, you just apply evenly on affected area, immediately after receiving the burn, until completely covered. You then repeat 2 to 3 times daily until symptoms subside.
Timeliness was the key for these products and us! After the parade Miss Grace took a serious trip over a tree root while swinging on the tree climbing rope and got a serious 'rope burn'. Due to the fact that the wound looked like a good case of 'road rash', I opted to try the newly received FirstDegree Burn Cream on it. After the initial cleaning and 'you're touching it' edicts, I was apply to apply the cream. Seriously, within a minute she was off and playing again claiming all pain was gone! I reapplied it that night and next morning and 2 days later it was healed up and almost gone, with no apparent scarring! Yippee!
Well of course my brain decided it needed to try some of the cream too, so the next day I burned a finger on the coffee pot burner. Naturally. The FirstDegree burn cream was very soothing and cooling, and like Miss Grace, within 5 minutes I was moving the finger with little soreness. I only had to reapply once more that day, and all the pain was gone! Yeah team! I am SOLD on this cream!
FirstDegree Burn Cream and Spray are available at your local CVS, Rite Aid, Target, Walmart and Walgreens stores, as well as other locations nationwide! You can sign up on the FirstDegree website and get a $1 off coupon too!
So update your medicine cabinet and first aid kits this Summer and be prepared for no matter what Mother Nature, or your kitchen, can give you and your kids! You'll be glad you did!
