The balancing properties of lavender floral water

Many people mistakenly confuse essential oil and floral water. Highly concentrated, essential oil can only be used diluted with a vegetable oil. To promote sleep, lavender essential oil (EO) can be applied to a child over 3 years old. Simply mix 2 drops of EO with 4 drops of vegetable oil and massage the spine and the soles of the feet. It can also be used by putting 2 drops on a tissue, near the pillow, or diffused in the bedroom before bedtime.

Lavender floral water can be used on babies. The equivalent of 2 tablespoons in bath water is enough to relax and soothe. The hydrosol is extracted by steam distillation of the flowers. The concentration of aromatic molecules is very low, which allows it to be used on infants. It is best to choose an organic version, without added fragrance or dilution.

Lavender floral water is recommended for men, before and after shaving, to soothe razor burn.

Lavender hydrosol, ideal for combination skin

Floral water is often used as a lotion on the skin, with a cotton pad or sprayed directly onto the face. It cleanses the skin in the morning without stripping it. It removes the last traces of makeup and purifies the upper skin layers, especially on the T-zone (nose, forehead, chin).

Soothing, it is suitable for combination to oily skin, thanks to its ability to balance the skin. The hydrosol can help regulate young or adult skin prone to acne. Often, these skin types are mistreated with drying creams and purifying masks that strip the skin. These treatments remove excess sebum but also water, which weakens and completely dehydrates the skin.

Lavender floral water also soothes irritated skin, prone to itching or eczema. For optimal effect, keep your hydrosol in the refrigerator. The chilled product will have a refreshing effect.
