DIY – Moisturizing homemade Lavender face mask

written by Ramya Srinivasan

The beautiful lavender flower has multiple benefits for overall health, skin and hair. When taken internally in the form of a tea, it will reduce stress, promote sleep and improve female reproductive health. Lavender also has topical benefits for the skin and hair.

Lavender and curd (or yogurt) have the below benefits for skin:

  • Lavender can moisturize skin and make it feel softer for a longer period of time.
  • This flower has anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe the skin and cure minor wounds, skin irritations and sun burns.
  • Lavender oil or cream can be applied on insect bites to reduce pain and itchiness.
  • Due to its collagen inducing properties, it can help to heal skin affected due to pimples and acne. It can also reduce scarring due to acne.
  • It can delay signs of aging and keep the skin youthful and supple.
