Easy Lavender Almond Sugar Scrub Bars
In addition to being a fun project and smelling lovely, these scrub bars are actually beneficial to your skin. Take a peek at these reasons why you should make them:
- Soothes Skin – Whether you suffer from eczema or just have a patch of dry skin, the combination of lavender essential oil and almond oil will help. It helps cleanse the skin and reduces irritation.
- Speeds Healing – In some cases, using lavender essential oil and almond oil will help speed up the healing process for wounds.
- Wrinkles – Because lavender is loaded with antioxidants, it’s helpful in reducing the appearance of wrinkles. It’s not the cure-all, but it can make them less noticeable.
