This all natural lavender cream smells amazing and is also super hydrating, so it will leave your skin super soft.  I recommend you use it on your body and not your face, unless you have extremely dry skin.

HOW DOES LAVENDER HELP YOU SLEEP?

Lavender essential oil is traditionally used and approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) as herbal medicine to relieve stress and anxiety.

RELAXING LAVENDER CREAM RECIPE

– ¼ cup African shea butter – ½ cup coconut oil – 50 drops lavender essential oil

Directions

Melt the shea butter and coconut oil in a microwave safe dish for about 1 minute. If not fully melted, heat for an additional 30 seconds.

Can I use this cream on my face?

You can, but if you are prone to breakouts or clogged pores, it’s not the best idea. Shea butter and coconut oil can be too thick and occlusive.

How should I store my homemade lavender cream?

I recommend storing your cream in a clean jar with the lid closed. It will keep even better in the refrigerator, but remove it an hour before you will apply it for a more relaxing effect.
