This is a simple, inexpensive DIY whipped lavender nourishing cream. It will help hydrate and nourish your skin. To top it off it will prevent aging of the skin and may reduce acne.
Coconut oil:
This oil is packed with healthy fats called medium-chain fatty acids, which help keep skin moisturized and smooth to the touch. It is also a good source of vitamin E, which is known as a potent skin health vitamin.
Lavender essential oil:
The main ingredient in this lavender nourishing cream is great for the skin. Lavender is a potent antibacterial and antifungal agent, which means that it can help clean the skin from harmful substances. “It contains powerful antioxidants that will prevent and counteract the irritating effects of pollutants on the skin,” explains Claude Saliou, Ph.D., director of research and development for Johnson & Johnson. “Plus, studies have shown that elevated stress results in rough skin, so lavender can improve skin by acting as a mentally calming agent.”
