Today's letter is just a quickie. Grammy Kat was badly burnt last week, and we had to whip up a batch of spray-on sunburn relief because she couldn't bear to touch the tender skin. I use the same formula for rashes and areas that get lots of bug-bites.
1 bottle (16 oz) Witch Hazel
+
1 Tube (1 oz) 1% hydrocortisone - Pour about 1/4 of the bottle of witch hazel into a large spray bottle.
- Squirt the entire tube of hydrocortisone into the bottle of witch hazel, and replace the cap securely. Shake well until hydrocortisone emulsifies.
- Pour the mixture into the spray bottle, and gently shake to combine with the rest of the witch hazel.
- Spray liberally on sunburn, avoiding eyes, nose, and mouth. Spray or pour on cotton balls to treat the face. It can be sprayed on the scalp, but will make your hair funky.
- Re-apply as needed.
Love,
Your freckled white mom!
