Description

Lavender oil can benefit the skin in numerous ways. It has the ability to lessen acne, help even skin tone, and reduce wrinkles. It can even be used to treat other things, such as improving hair health.

Lavender Oil Benefits For Skin:
Lavender oil can be used on all skin types. It can be combined with different ingredients to treat your specific skin concerns too.

1. Reduces Acne
Lavender oil contains antibacterial agents that eradicate acne-causing bacteria on your skin. It helps in cleansing your skin effectively by clearing the clogged pores. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that help in controlling the inflammation, redness, and pain caused by acne breakouts.

“Lavender oil regulates the oil (sebum) balance in your skin, thus, preventing the onset of acne which is mainly caused due to overproduction of sebum in your skin. Lavender oil is non-comedogenic, which moisturizes your skin without clogging the pores,” mentions Dr. Zeel.

2. Treats Dry Skin Conditions
Lavender oil can bring a great relief to dry skin and its associated symptoms such as itchiness and rough texture. The oil regulates the moisture barrier in your skin efficiently which is why your skin neither feels too dry nor too oily. Besides, it also helps in treating skin conditions such as eczema [3], which happens due to extreme dryness in your skin.

3. Heals Injuries Faster
Lavender oil has been used to treat injuries, wounds, and skin burns since ancient times by the Greeks. The oil contains antiseptic components which help in preventing infection. It detoxifies the skin by purging out the harmful toxins. Additionally, it promotes quicker healing of your skin by improving the collagen production and regeneration of your skin tissues.

. Controls Premature Aging
Your skin is under constant exposure to environmental aggressors such as pollution, smoke, chemicals, UV radiation, dust, etc. which cause oxidative damage in your skin tissue, resulting in premature ageing. Lavender oil is a rich source of antioxidants and essential phytochemicals which help in preventing the formation of wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, and other signs of premature aging by fighting the free radicals in your skin tissue.

5. Minimizes Inflammation
Lavender oil has natural anti-inflammatory properties which help in soothing irritated skin effectively. It helps in treating inflammatory conditions in your skin such as sunburns, rosacea, and psoriasis. It also soothes the skin by controlling the redness.

6. Lightens Dark Spots & Scars
Different factors such as inflammation, trauma, hormonal imbalance, melasma, UV exposure, acne, pollution, genetics, etc. can cause excessive melanin production in your skin, which results in pigmentation and dark patches or spots. Lavender oil has exceptional properties to repair the damaged skin from hyperpigmentation and scarring by rebuilding the elastin and collagen. This way it helps in minimizing the appearance of sunspots, dark patches, or other pigmentation marks on your skin. Adding lavender oil to your skincare regimen can restore the healthy glow in your dull skin.

7. Fights Fungal Infections
Lavender oil has potent antifungal effects [4] which can help you treat conditions such as athlete’s foot, ringworm, and other yeast infections in your skin. It not only prevents the spread of fungal infection but also calms the itchiness caused by infections.

8. Treats Skin Rash From Bug Bites
Besides acting as an effective insect repellent, lavender oil can relieve your skin from itchiness, pain, redness, and rash caused by bug bites. It prevents the infestation of bacteria and controls inflammation in the site of bug bites.

Lavender oil also works well in treating allergic reactions caused by poison ivy on your skin.
