And high quality lavender is no subtle fragrance – it’s a heady bouquet that puts perfume to shame. We’ll cover the top 5 reasons you’ll fall in love with lavender, if you haven’t already!
- Reduces Inflammation – Anti-inflammatory properties help reduce under-eye puffiness and cheek redness; that’s why it’s a key ingredient in our Lavender Micellar Water facial cleanser.
- Boosts Circulation – By increasing blood flow, it helps skin cells receive an adequate supply of nutrients and oxygen; that’s why it’s a key ingredient in our Lavender Rose Facial Toner.
- Fights Acne – Natural antiseptic properties in lavender attack acne-causing bacteria; that’s why it’s a key ingredient in our *Lavender Rose Clay Mask*.
- Stimulates Regeneration – Lavender stimulates the formation of new skin cells, helping skin recover faster from minor sunburns, along with antiseptic properties helping to prevent infection; that’s why we combined it with the soothing power of aloe vera, in our *Lavender Gel Mask*, to maximize relief.
