Natural Ingredient Spotlight: Benefits of Lavender in Skincare
Lavender should be a staple in every garden and every cabinet. It does so much for the skin and the senses that it should always be to hand. In this piece our Beauty Editor, Taylor delves into the amazing benefits of using lavender in skincare as part of our Natural Ingredient Spotlight series.
Why is Lavender Beneficial in Skincare?
We at REV believe that Lavender should be a staple in every garden and every cabinet. It does so much for the skin and the senses that it’s a wonderful plant to always have at hand. Wrinkles, pimples, or dry skin – lavender is your friend. It is amazing at killing bacteria, unclogging pores, reducing inflammation, and incredible for fading dark spots or acne scars. Since lavender is full of antioxidants, this ingredient helps protect the skin from free radicals which can cause premature wrinkles, and us city dwellers are exposed to free radicals every day unfortunately. Along with its amazing uses for the skin, it is also a saviour for the mind. As I’m sure many of you already know, lavender is also one of the most calming scents for the mind. In such an anxious and uncertain time, we need all the calm we can get and this is a natural resource for us all to enjoy the benefits of.
