It can be added to skin lotions and massage oils to calm skin inflammation and soothe sore muscles. It can also be found in laundry and cleaning products.

An infusion of lavender flowers and water can be used as a simple skin tonic for troubled skin before going to bed.

The following recipes are both relaxing and refreshing, and are simple to create at home. Enjoy!
