Lavender Essential Oil

Lavender Essential Oil

If you don’t know me, you should know at least this, my skin is so pale white that I set off the light meter when I’m in a group picture.  Consequently, I burn very, very easily.  I live in California, Los Angeles to be exact and summer lasts about 7-8 months of the year there.  This means that if I’m not careful with regular application of sunblock I will have a sunburn just because I walked outside (no joke).  I used to raise huge aloe plants to slather on my sunburn, now I just cover myself in Lavender oil.  It cuts the burn and helps the tissue heal twice as fast.  Never mind the bonus of being more relaxed.  This summer be sure to pack the Young Living Lavender oil in your beach bag.

***A note about this oil: it is very important to only use therapeutic, food grade essential oils if you are either applying to the skin or consuming the oil.  Oils that are not low pressure, steam distilled contain chemicals that are used to strip the oils from the plants, these adulterated oils can burn you.  This is the difference between a perfume oil and an essential oil.  I use Young Living oils because I know I can count on the purity and have never had a negative reaction to.***
