You can make your own skin care product, you can buy a dark glass bottle on Amazon to mix Lavender, carrier oil, and Vitamin A & E in the bottle. You can fill up the bottle mainly with the carrier oil (Fractionated Coconut Oil) and add maybe half a ounce of Vitamin A & E with your choose of amount of Lavender. It all depends on how loud you want the DIY product to smell. You can apply this product to affect areas on your body.
Massages: Simply add Lavender to your massage cream, oil or lotion. You only need a few drops. If you add it to oil, I find using fractionated coconut is the best.
Personal Care: You can use Lavender in soaps, perfumes, ointments, and lotions. It is fun to go to Michael’s Craft Store to buy supplies to make soap. The creation process of making a product, like soap is fun. You can make many different types of soaps, lotions, perfumes etc.
Sleepy Time: I love to put Lavender, Peppermint and Lemon on my sheets before bed. They are great for cold season. I sometimes just use Lavender if I just want to go to sleep quickly. It just takes a few drops on your sheets or make a spray bottle with the essential oil in it with grain alcohol, water, aloe and vitamin E.
