How to use lavender essential oil on your face

1. Direct coating

If you have pimples or acne marks on your face, you can apply 1 to 2 drops of lavender essential oil on the pimples or acne marks. No need to spread it, just apply it once. Lavender essential oil is an essential oil that can be applied directly to the skin, but when applying it directly, you should pay attention to the concentration of the lavender essential oil. Too high a concentration will irritate the skin on your face. At the same time, it should be noted that lavender essential oil should not be used on a large area, as it will also irritate the skin.

2. Blending skin care products

Mix lavender essential oil and skin care products. The mixing ratio needs to be determined according to personal symptoms. Generally, no more than 10 drops of lavender essential oil can be added to 50ml of lotion/cream. Add 5 to 8 drops of lavender essential oil to 50g of toner/lotion/cream, mix well, and apply appropriate amount on the face every morning and evening. Mixing 2 to 3 drops of lavender essential oil into a facial mask can improve acne-prone skin, prevent acne recurrence, and even fade acne marks.

3. Harmony basis

For those who have sensitive skin or are afraid to apply lavender essential oil directly on their face, you can add 4 or 5 drops of pure essential oil to 10 ml of base oil, and then dilute the lavender essential oil before applying it on your face. It can reduce swelling, inflammation, and heal acne.

4. Massage

Mix the base oil as mentioned before, drop 2 to 3 drops of the mixed oil on the palm of your hand, apply it evenly on the face from bottom to top, then massage the forehead from the inside to the outside, gently press around the eyes with your fingertips, and finally massage the face and chin from bottom to top. Massage for about 2 minutes, which can have a very good anti-inflammatory and acne-removing effect.

5. Cold compress

Add 3 to 5 drops of lavender essential oil to 100 ml of cold water. After mixing, soak the folded compress in the prepared water, then wring it out slightly. Apply it on the face to stop bleeding, reduce swelling, and relieve pain. Apply it on the forehead to reduce temperature and treat headaches and migraines.
