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:

2. HEADACHE: Mix 3-5 drops with 1 Tbs of carries oils (coconut or olive) and dab into your temples
3. INSOMNIA: Sprinkle a few drops into your pillow or inhale the aroma 3-4 times straight from the bottle
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)
