Lavender essential oils


Who would have thought that lavender could do so much! I recently purchased a bottle of lavender essential oils and I have been more than satisfied with the results.
Uses:
1)Air freshener-add water and several drops of lavender oil in a spray bottle and mix. Spray in any room to create a calm and soothing environment. Plus, essential oils are safe to breathe in and can even be edible.
2)Relaxation- apply two to three drops to the back of your neck for a calming feeling that helps you relax after a long day.
3)Blemish control-apply to the face as a blemish control oil. Lavender has elements that dry up unwanted blemishes (YAY!). You can also had a few drops to olive oil to create a lavender smelling lotion.
Applies to budget: Since you can find many companies that sell essential oils, the price may very. The bottle I have cost $20.00 for 15ml. Each time I use it I only need about 2-3 drops. I haven't even begun to use much out of my bottle and I have been experimenting a lot with it over the past week. A typical blemish controller can cost anywhere from $5-$25 depending on the brand. I have tried them ALL! So far I have really grown fond of the lavender oil because it is a natural material and I feel like it is actively working with my skin's natural balance and not trying to get it to do what the chemicals in other products want it to do. I will keep you posted on my progress-this is a HUGE experiment for me since I have been battling with my skin since I hit puberty.
