By Erin Huffstetler

 

  Summer is here in San Diego it's the perfect weather to have your carpets organically cleaned becuase they will dry very quickly. But we know that it also means fun filled beach days so please remember to lather on that sunscreen half an hour before you plan to be in the sun and then follow the directions on the bottle for re-application times there after. Of course we hope that you won't need to use this remedy but we thought we would share this just in case you do.

Has a day outdoors left you burnt to a crisp? Then, try this simple home remedy for sunburn:

What You Need:

• Vinegar (apple cider or white)
• A spray bottle

What You Do:

1. Fill a spray bottle with vinegar, and use it to apply vinegar to any sunburned areas of your body. (Use a cotton ball or rag to apply vinegar to your face).

2. Reapply every few hours, or whenever the sunburned feeling returns.

Why This Works
