Lavender Luxuries – Skin Care
Lavender Luxuries
By Jeanne Rose
SKIN CARE USING HERBS AND ESSENTIAL OILS
There are many books giving many recipes for making skin-care treatments including my own The Herbal Body Book (See Table 1) as well as Kitchen Cosmetics. Use these for reference. Read these books very carefully and practice making your own body-care products. See http://www.jeannerose.net/books.html
Lavender is a well-known addition to any skin-care and beauty products. Lavandula angustifolia, the ‘true’ Lavender, with its high ester content is best in formulas for acne that is either pustular or dry, reddened or couperose skin, devitalized (skin with no life) skin, inflamed or irritated skin, oily skin, skin that is fully of water (edema) but dry and fatty and for wrinkles.
