Young Living Essential Oils for Kids and Adults for Burns & Sunburns

I was boiling some rice for dinner and my pot had a steam release lid on. It is also called “spill stopper,” “splatter guard,” “boil overs.”

Then, I accidentally knocked the lid over and the steam rushed out, right by my hand. Wow! That hurt!

I immediately put my hand under cold water. My skin was burning, like I had just rubbed jalapeños all over it.

Oh my!

I applied some coconut oil and it was hurting just as much. I know that coconut or raw shea butter can be moisturizing and soothing.

But for sensitive skin, like burned by a hot object or by the sun, you need pure products that are soothing for skin care.

What was I to do?

I hadn’t gotten a burn in a long time, so I had completely forgotten what to do.

Then I thought of my Young Living essential oils, of course! Buy the HERE!

Essential Oils and their Uses

Essential oils have been used for thousands of years, before traditional medicine became a thing.

They have been used for many things, not just physical ailments.

Research shows that many essential oils can be used for anything in life.

They can soothe an abraised skin by rubbing on a diluted drop or a sad heart by simply smelling a happy blend.

Regardless, I just wanted to share with you my story and how we use essential oils for our skin at home.

Carrier Oils for Essential Oils

Before we get into our list of the best essential oils for aggravated skin, let’s talk about carrier oils.

You need them in order to dilute the essential oils. Don’t worry, you will get the same effect from the essential oils.

Well, except that they will rub more easily on your skin and the moisturizing effect will also help the essential oils stay on your skin longer.

Some great carrier oils are: coconut oil, MCT oil, almond oil, avocado oil, olive oil, jojoba oil and grapeseed oil.

All should be organic, of course.

Top Rated Essential Oils

Alright! Let’s get into our list of essential oils to soothe skin that has been irritated by heat (hot products, hot water, the sun, etc).

Lavender essential oil is the first one that came to mind. It is soothing and helps with skin abrasions.

On drop was enough! I applied it directly onto my skin (I already had some coconut oil on it) and it was amazing.

I got complete relief immediately! That is what you get with good quality essential oils such as Young Living.

It was unbelievable! It would be hard for me to think that it could work this fast if it hadn’t happened to me.

Wow.

My hand DIDN’T hurt at all after that. It wasn’t even tender.

I was floored. I am telling you: Young Living’s Lavender essential oil works!

Other essential oils that work wonders for soothing skin are here. I listed them in order of importance for what you need them.

Myrrh is the best for irritated skin of any kind. Frankinsence is the powerhouse of essential oils! It will fix almost anything!

Helichysum helps with inflammation and discomfort by numbing the area without irritating it further.

Neroli has antioxidant properties, so it may help with your skin cells. Roman Chamomile has a lovely calming effect.

And Eucalyptus is also a big help with inflammation. I’d only use this one if I don’t have any of the others, as it is stronger and might need extra carrier oil to dilute more.

For sunburns, what I like to do is put some homemade lotion or coconut oil in a glass jar.

Then, I add a few drops of lavender essential oil.

I apply it on burned skin for instant relief. I usually add 5 drop for every ounce of lotion or coconut oil.

You can make my homemade lotion recipe and make it a sunscreen to prevent these types of sunburns in the first place.
