Lavender Body Oil Skin Benefits
Lavender essential oil is made from the lavender plant. It can be taken by mouth, topically, or breathed in through aroma therapy.
Lavender essential oil has many benefits when applied directly to the skin. It can treat acne, help even skin tone, and reduce wrinkles.
Prevents Acne
Lavender essential oil can prevent acne breakouts by killing bacteria, unclogging pores, and reducing inflammation.
To use the oil for the skin, dilute it first with a carrier oil like rosehip oil and apply it to the skin after washing your face.
You can also use lavender essential oil as a facial toner by mixing 2 drops of lavender essential oil with 1 teaspoon of witch hazel and gently apply to the face.
Soothes Dry Skin
Eczema is so annoying and can show up anywhere on the body. With eczema, your skin gets dry, itchy, and scaly. It can appear mild or chronic and in multiple locations. Since lavender essential oil has anti-fungal properties and reduces inflammation, it can help soothe eczema and psoriasis.
To use this essential oil for eczema or psoriasis, mix 2 drops with an equal amount of tea tree oil and 2 teaspoons of grape seed oil.
Evens Skin Tone & Reduces Wrinkles
By reducing inflammation, lavender essential oil can reduce discoloration, including dark spots.
Free radicals are partly responsible for fine lines and wrinkles. Lavender essential oil is full of antioxidants, so they keep free radicals at bay.
To use this essential oil to even skin tone and prevent wrinkles, mix lavender essential oil with carrier oils like squalene and argan oils, which are found in Cashmere Moon's Lavender Rose Glow Oil.
Helps Heal Wounds
In a 2016 study, researchers found that lavender essential oil promotes the healing of skin tissue. So, if you have a burn, scrape, or other wounds, lavender essential oil may help speed up the wound-healing process.
To use this essential oil on small wounds, mix 3 or 4 drops of lavender essential oil with a few drops of tamanu oil. You can apply the mixture on your wound. If the wound is healed, this mixture can help reduce the scar that may remain.
Finally...
the ending of this blog. But seriously, lavender essential oil has many uses for treating the skin. It naturally reduces inflammation, lessens pain, and cleans the surface of the skin. If there are any side effects from using the oil, like a skin rash, stop using and talk with your doctor.
