How to Use Lavender Hydrosol to Soothe Dry Skin

Lavender Hydrosol is a versatile and gentle product derived from steam distillation of lavender. It’s perfect for soothing dry, irritated skin during the harsh winter months. Here are some tips to incorporate it into your skincare routine (scroll to the bottom for an easy graphic):

1. Use as a Facial Mist

   • Spray lavender hydrosol directly onto your face to hydrate and refresh your skin throughout the day. The natural properties of lavender help to calm redness and irritation caused by cold weather.

2. Incorporate into Your Skincare Routine

   • Use it as a toner after cleansing. Apply with a cotton pad or mist directly onto your skin to balance pH levels and prepare your face for moisturizer.

3. DIY Hydrating Mask

   • Mix lavender hydrosol with a natural clay (like kaolin or bentonite) and a few drops of jojoba oil. Apply the mixture to your face, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, and rinse off for a deeply hydrating and calming treatment.

4. Soothing Body Spray

   • After showering, mist lavender hydrosol onto damp skin to lock in moisture. This step is especially beneficial for areas prone to dryness, like elbows and knees.

5. Enhance Your Moisturizer

   • Add a few sprays of lavender hydrosol to your regular moisturizer or body lotion before applying. This can help enhance hydration and spreadability.

6. Combat Dry Hands

   1. Keep a small bottle of lavender hydrosol in your bag or at your desk. Spray on your hands and follow with a hand cream to soothe cracked skin.

7. Calming Bath Additive

   • Pour a generous amount of lavender hydrosol into your bathwater for a relaxing soak that also hydrates your skin. Combine with Epsom salts for added benefits.

8. Nighttime Skin Therapy

   • Mist lavender hydrosol onto your face and pillow before bed. This promotes relaxation while hydrating your skin overnight.

9. Relieve Winter Itch

   • Spray lavender hydrosol on dry, itchy patches of skin for instant relief. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it an excellent choice for soothing eczema or wind-chapped areas.

10. Refresh and Soothe Post-Makeup

    • Mist over your makeup to set it and add a dewy finish while giving your skin a boost of hydration.

Pro Tip: Store your lavender hydrosol in the fridge for an extra refreshing and soothing sensation during application.
