After Swim Chlorine-Neutralizing Spray

Crafted with ease and taste in mind, this recipe is a great choice.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup filtered water (see my recommendations on How to Filter Water here)
  • 1/2 teaspoon powdered sodium ascorbate
  • essential oils (optional - see below for more information)
  • A quality Glass Bottle or quality Plastic Bottle
Optional Essential Oils
  • 2 drops lavender essential oil
  • 2 drops frankincense essential oil
  • 1 drop Peppermint
  • 6 drops polysorbate 80 this is one good choice for an emulsifier

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Using a funnel, add water to a glass bottle or stable plastic spray bottle.
  2. Add the ascorbic acid.
  3. Add essential oils (if using).
  4. Put lid on bottle and shake to combine.
  5. After swimming, spray the solution all over, including on hair.
  6. Rub the vitamin c spray in, making sure to cover all of your skin.  If the Vitamin C doesn't cover your skin, it won't protect it.
  7. Shower as usual.
