The benefits of Lavender
At Natio, we LOVE harnessing the power of plants, with Lavender Oil being a key ingredient in our skincare, body, kids AND essential oils. Lavender Oil is distilled using the flower tops and stalks that have been used for centuries to help relax the body, calm the mind and soothe the soul.
Lavendar doesn’t just smell amazing, it’s a powerhouse ingredient that’s credited for having many positive benefits on the mind, body and soul. Some of these include:
- Soothing Properties
- Antioxidant Protection
- Balancing Oil Production
- Aromatherapy Benefits
- Healing properties
Lavender contains vitamins, essential oils and antioxidants which have many benefits on skin and mind. I’ve broken it down into some more detail to help you find out how Lavender can meet your different skincare and aromatic needs.
Soothing Properties
If you‘re struggling with skin irritation, discomfort or redness, Lavender may be the ingredient for you! Thanks to the combination of essential oils, antioxidants and vitamins such as Vitamin E, Lavender is largely known for its ability to calm and soothe the skin, leaving your skin feeling smoother and evening out your complexion. Infused with the calming power of lavender, Natio’s Skin Serenity Soothing Serum works to relieve irritation and restore balance, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
Antioxidant Protection
Lavender oil contains Vitamin C and Vitamin E, both of which have antioxidant properties. These vitamins help combat stress from environmental factors like pollution and neutralise free radicals that accelerate visible signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles. For enhanced antioxidant protection, Natio’s Restore Antioxidant Face Serum combines the benefits of Lavender with nourishing ingredients to protect and rejuvenate the skin, promoting a radiant complexion.
Balancing Oil Production
Lavender possesses antimicrobial properties that help reduce unwanted germs on the skin. These properties help control sebum production, minimising blemishes and promoting clearer skin. Additionally, the Vitamin E found within Lavender can be used to help moisturise the skin without blocking pores. For a deep cleanse, the Gentle Face Scrub harnesses Lavender to gently ease away complexion dulling impurities, excess oils and expired cells.
Healing Properties
One of my personal favourite benefits of Lavender is its potential to reduce the appearance of scarring. Lavender's antibiotic, antioxidant and antiseptic properties may promote tissue regeneration and hence lesson the appearance of scars.
Aromatherapy Benefits
If you are like me and are super busy during this season with exams, functions, work, family, friends and more, then you may need to find something to help calm the mind and body. Lavender Essential Oil is used by many to not only help manage stress but to also help ease the symptoms of anxiety. This can be used in a diffuser if you have one, or even a few drops sprinkled on a tissue for some calming inhalations as needed. Plus, a bonus of being less stressed, is having less stress-induced skin issues such as breakouts and dullness. To take time out for yourself try the Wellbeing Relaxation Oil, a topical massage oil which combines Lavender with other essential oils traditionally used to relax the senses and ease away tension and stress in a nourishing Sesame Oil base.
Lavender offers a wide range of benefits, from relieving stress to addressing skin concerns like blemishes and scars. Whether you're seeking relaxation or a natural solution to aid skin-related issues, Lavender is the ideal ingredient. At Natio, we believe nature nurtures best and Lavender is simply proof of this.
