The scent of lavender is a popular one, and beyond even the pleasing fragrance, Lavender Essential Oil has many health and skin benefits. Here are my top 7 favorite reasons to use this oil in our skincare products and also as a stand alone oil:
1. Relaxation -perhaps its most well-known benefit, is its calming, relaxing, and sleep-inducing qualities, making it great for use before bed. If you have trouble sleeping, a few drops on your pillow will help aid you in sleep. Using our lavender bath salts and body butter have similar affects.
2. Stress Reducer – adding to benefit 1, Lavender essential oil is good for reducing stress and lowering anxiety levels by simply breathing in the aroma.
3. Natural antibacterial and antimicrobial properties – making it an excellent oil for acne prone skin, as well as applying topically to minor bites, wounds, infections, and burns (it is advised to dilute in a carrier oil before use.)
4. Natural anti-inflammatory properties – which means it can help ease pain when diluted with a carrier oil (such as olive oil or sweet almond oil) and rubbed and/or massaged into the area of pain
5. Natural air-freshener
6. Headache Relief – combined with Peppermint Essential Oil, these two oils can help ease headaches through aromatherapy or rubbing into the temples.
7. Soothing – to burns, razor bumps, sunburn, and bruises
This vibrant and colorful plant is not only beautiful, but as you can see, has a diversity of benefits to our health and skin!
