FAQs

• How many times a day can I use lavender essential oil on my face?

You can use it as a toner for the face by mixing it with witch hazel-two drops of lavender oil added to a teaspoon of witch hazel.  One drop of lavender oil added to a drop of argan oil can be applied directly on a pimple twice a day.

• Can I put lavender essential oils directly on my skin?

The majority of essential oils need to be mixed with some carrier oil to not irritate the skin. And while lavender oil is said to be safe for direct use, it's best to err on the side of caution and mix it with a carrier oil.

• How do I use a lavender essential oil on my hair?

You can mix the lavender essential oil with equal quantities of carrier oil. Massage into your scalp and let sit for 10 minutes. Shampoo your hair and pat dry.
