Lavender essential oil is one of the most versatile oils. Its sweet floral aroma is very calming and comforting. It may be a great addition to your skincare products.
10 USES OF LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL:
1. ACNE: Dab a drop into a pimple and it should disappear within 2-3 days
2. HEADACHE: Mix 3-5 drops with 1 Tbs of carries oils (coconut or olive) and dab into your temples

4. SMALL WOUND AND CUTS: First clean the affected area with water, then apply a drop of lavender essential oil
5. SUNBURN: Mix a few drops with a carrier oil (black cumin oil would work great for sunburn)

IMPORTANT: Always do a dab test before using any essential oil; just dab it into your forearm, and leave for 15 minutes to see if any allergic reaction appears
