Lupita Nyong'o 'swears' by this $14 oil to get rid of sunburns

Summer Fridays, beach-side Instagrams, and rooftop happy hours all make for a perfect summer. But along with that comes the dreaded sunburn.

No matter how much SPF we prep with, sometimes red uncomfortable skin goes beyond getting the sun kissed glow we were aiming for. Thankfully, one of our favorite Hollywood muses, Lupita Nyong'o, has the perfect solution -- and it's under $20.

"Sunscreen is the name of the game, but I think it’s also really important to find products that are not poisonous to the world we live in,” the "Black Panther" star told The New York Times in a recent interview. “I carry calendula ointment, which is a good healer for burns, scrapes, scars.

"I had a terrible sunburn and the oil cured me of it in just one night. I swear by it. I guess that’s really the one thing I wouldn’t travel without," she explained.

So what is calendula ointment? The ingredients are rich in vitamins, minerals, micro- and macro-elements and in fatty acids. Amazon explains that natural "calendula Oil is best for skin, nails, lips, hair, face, body, scalp, rich can can be used as a pure agent or mixed." Thanks to the high content of vitamins, the formula makes skin more elastic and smoothes wrinkles.
