This week’s Herb of the Week is one of my very favorites- Lavender. A member of the mint family, this very fragrant herb has been used in beauty treatments around the world for centuries. Some of the most popular treatments include aromatherapy, massage, and skin care. In addition to its yummy fragrance, Lavender offers multiple qualities that naturally improve skin, making it a perfect ingredient for my line of organic skin care products.
Lavender and Aromatherapy
Lavender has long been used for different aromatherapy treatments. Known for its ability to calm the mind, it is often used in massage and spa therapies. Additionally, lavender is used to relax the body, ease stress and tension, and also help relieve headaches. It’s excellent to keep around for a little-pick-me-up!
Lavender and Acne
Rich in linalool, lavender helps the skin naturally heal itself. excellent for those suffering from acne. Additionally, lavender is anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory; qualities that can further help treat and diminish the appearance of those troublesome red blemishes. For those who may be suffering from their acne due to an allergic reaction to pollutants, the anti-toxic nature of lavender can provide additional relief.
Lavender and Wrinkles
Another reason I’m a big fan of Lavender is its ability to help combat wrinkles and other signs of aging. Lavender is a rubefacient which encourages blood flow to the skin, and a cytophylactic, which encourages skin growth. Together, these help the skin regenerate itself more easily and keep skin looking young, firm, and smooth.
Lavender’s ability to help in the treatment of acne, as well as its anti-aging properties make it a perfect ingredient in the newest product in my line of skin care products- my dead sea facial scrub. Made with clay from the dead sea, as well as lavender and silica, this scrub is able to provide many of the positive benefits of a microdermabrasion treatment. Additionally, the scrub softens and smooths skin, as well as replenishes important minerals necessary for healthy skin.
Try adding some lavender to your beauty routine with my Dead Sea Scrub, Anti-Aging Eye Cream, Rosemary Peppermint Body Wash, or even my Coconut Body and Face Oil, and see how it can benefit you!
Much Love,
