Gone are the days when Lavendula (common name lavender) was only known for its amazing fragrance and pretty purple flower spikes. It will not be erroneous to say that this singular bloom is bigger than ever. Indeed we are all aware of the benefits of lavender oil for skin, hair and mind. Thus, adding lavender oil to your beauty arsenal can do wonders to the skin.

Lavender Oil not only helps the skin by reducing acne or lessening wrinkles, but it is also ultra soothing for the skin leaving a therapeutic scent.

Here are all the ways to use lavender oil for skin:

Fights Acne

Lavender oil is naturally antibiotic and kills the acne-causing bacteria that might infiltrate your pores. This property of the essential oil makes it perfect to prevent, soothe and heal acne. We have included the antibacterial properties of Lavender Oil with our Intra Glow Facial Oil, for that natural glow that leaves the skin soothes.

Soothes Eczema and Dry Skin Problems

Lavender Oil helps in maintaining the skin’s moisture barrier so that it doesn’t get too oily or too dry. Also, accounting to the antifungal properties of the essential oil, it keeps eczema at bay, reduces inflammation and moisturizes the skin. Massage your skin with Body Softening Oil that has the goodness of lavender oil to get soft and itch-free skin.

Anti-Inflammatory

Managing stress has been one of the very known properties of Lavender Oil. Thus, it is not surprising that it has the same soothing and calming effects on our skin. Lavender Oil can thus help in reducing redness, blotchy patches, and acne scars. This property of the essential oil makes it great for soothing and healing skin that is irritated or reddened from sun, insect bites and bacteria.

Prevents wrinkles

The early signs of skin-ageing are a result of free radicals. Being a potent source of anti-oxidants, lavender oil protects the skin from the free radicals. It fights the free radical damage caused by environmental stressors and fights the signs of premature aging.

Skin Lightening

As the essential oil reduces inflammation, it also aids in lightening the skin. It can be of extreme help for hyper-pigmentation and discolouration.

How to apply?

The application process of the oil depends on the problem you are applying it for. Pure essential oils can never be applied directly on your skin as they are very potent and can cause severe irritation and burns on the skin. It is usually mixed with carrier oil.
