LAVENDER SKIN CARE


SKIN CARE

L-A-V-E-N-D-E-R

Lavender is one of the most useful skin care oils. Although it has excellent antiseptic properties, it is also very mild to the skin. Lavender has been used as an ingredient in cosmetics for centuries and its effects have been well tried and tested.
Scientific research supports Lavender use for:
Relaxation, sleep & improved mood, pain control, wound care, and skin irritation.
