What are the benefits of lavender hydrosol for the skin?

The word "lavender" translates to "for washing" in Latin. This plant has been known for centuries for its cleansing and purifying properties. Aromatic, lavender has long been utilized in the field of perfumery. A shrub belonging to the Lamiaceae family, lavender thrives in Mediterranean regions. Admired in gardens for its bluish floral spikes, it is also incorporated into numerous skincare products due to its purifying and regenerative virtues.

The essence of lavender contains components that vary depending on the species. It generally contains:

• Linalyl acetate;

• Geraniol (an unsaturated terpenic alcohol that constitutes a large part of rose and palmarosa essential oils);

• Eucalyptol (also known for its antiseptic action);

• Pinene (known for its antiseptic properties);

• Of coumarin (a natural aromatic substance).

Lavender is a key ingredient in many skincare and haircare products. In the form of hydrosol, lavender is used to care for combination to oily skin, dull and tired skin, acne-prone skin, as well as sensitive skin.

Thanks to its regenerative properties, lavender hydrosol promotes cellular renewal, thereby revitalizing the skin and toning the epidermis. Due to its reparative action, it aids in the healing of skin imperfections caused by blemishes.

Lavender hydrosol is also used on the skin for its cleansing virtue. It purifies and sanitizes the skin deeply, thus eliminating impurities that clog the pores. Lavender hydrosol cleanses the epidermis while softening it and leaving a fresh, relaxing scent.

Thanks to its antiseptic and soothing properties, lavender hydrosol alleviates superficial burns caused by sunburn.

To take advantage of the revitalizing, soothing, and repairing virtues of lavender hydrosol, start by cleansing your skin. The cleansing process prepares the epidermis to receive the care it is given. Then apply the lavender hydrosol with a cotton pad over your entire face, morning and/or evening. You can complete the treatment by applying your serum or face cream.
