In addition, good skin highly determines an individual&#8217;s confidence, which is why many people are crazy about skin care. Their focus is to clear the skin, particularly that of the face wherever wrinkles, acne, sun damage, pigmentation, and other skin conditions appear. With the increased interest in skin care, many skincare products are on the market. But not all are ideal for use on specific body parts, such as the face. Similarly, some products should never be used alone. This begs the question, is lavender oil good for all areas of your skin?

For example, its flowers and oil are being used for therapeutic purposes. Medicine Net states that lavender oil is\u00a0 used by some people for insomnia, depression, restlessness, and digestive problems such as abdominal swelling caused by gas, intestinal gas, nausea, upset stomach, and loss of appetite (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicinenet.com\/lavender\/supplements-vitamins.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, some individuals use this oil for painful conditions such as toothaches, migraines, joint pain, nerve pain, sprains, and sores (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicinenet.com\/lavender\/supplements-vitamins.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). But more recently the oil has become a staple in the skincare market. The oil is promoted as beneficial to the skin in many ways.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of the many skincare fads, one cannot help but question its scientifically-approved skin benefits. Is lavender oil bad for skin? Is it a skincare fad? Does lavender <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/hydrating-foods-for-skin\/\">oil<\/a> actually work?

For example, studies show lavender oil has antioxidant, anticonvulsant, antimicrobial, anxiolytic, and anti-inflammatory activities (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/skin-problems-and-treatments\/eczema\/eczema-essential-oils\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). These properties and activities contribute to its many skin benefits, some of which include:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Acne_Treatment\"><\/span><b>Acne Treatment<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number one reason lavender <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/oregano-oil-benefits-for-skin\/\">oil<\/a> is loved as a skin care product is that it may heal and prevent acne. According to Medical News Today, the essential oil is naturally antibacterial, meaning it kills any bacteria that may cause acne (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/lavender-oil-for-skin\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The oil is non-comedogenic, meaning it does not infiltrate or clog your pores. Remember that clogged pores are caused by a buildup of oil, dirt, or dead skin cells. Eventually this leads to acne, and that treatment requires non-comedogenic skin care products to unclog these pores.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lavender oil is one of these products, as we have stated above. Besides unclogging your pores the oil can be used as a daily toner or to treat pimples. Please note that you cannot directly use lavender oil alone on <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/collagen-rich-foods-vegetarian\/\">your skin<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to use it as a toner, you can mix it with hazel. To treat pimples, mix it with argan or tea tree oil (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/lavender-oil-for-skin\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Edema_Treatment\"><\/span><b>Edema Treatment<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Edema is fluid retention that results in swelling and puffiness in different <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/best-cellulite-workout\/\">parts of the body<\/a>, particularly the skin in the arms, legs, hands, ankles, and feet. This can also affect the lungs, muscles, bowel, brain, and eyes (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/159111\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

It can also be acute and localized, as a result of an infection or injury.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A 2018 study found that Lavender<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0(Lavandula angustifolia)<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Essential Oil (LEO) had antiedematogenic and anti-inflammatory activities that could help with edema which was caused by acute inflammation in animals (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5878871\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). The oil was seen to affect inflammatory response by exerting anti-inflammatory effects at low doses. That said, the oil has been reported as an irritant effect at high doses (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5878871\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

In some cases, it can also cause blisters. It often occurs in children of any age and tends to flare periodically (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/14417\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the U.S., roughly a quarter of children have eczema, as do 10% of African Americans, 13% of Native Americans, 13% of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, and 11% of white individuals (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/14417\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people suggest using lavender oil on children with this condition to ease inflammation and irritation. When used with a carrier oil, lavender oil is said to help reduce itchiness, inflammation, dryness, and flakiness. But WebMD disagrees with this based on the following scientific evidence (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/skin-problems-and-treatments\/eczema\/eczema-essential-oils\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">):<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lavender_Oil_Is_An_Essential_Oil\"><\/span><b>Lavender Oil Is An Essential Oil<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WebMD states that lavender oil or any other <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/how-to-get-skinny-fast\/\">essential oil<\/a> does not go well with eczema because they are too harsh (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/skin-problems-and-treatments\/eczema\/eczema-essential-oils\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). As a result, they can make your skin react and raise inflammation instead of easing it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, the oil can leave tiny breaks in your skin barrier, causing it to easily absorb allergens and irritants from the essential oils (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/skin-problems-and-treatments\/eczema\/eczema-essential-oils\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_Is_Unregulated_For_Eczema_Treatment\"><\/span><b>It Is Unregulated For Eczema Treatment<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the many claims on its application for eczema treatment, the FDA has never approved it for such use.

Unfortunately, mixing oils can result in a highly concentrated liquid filled with chemicals that is not ideal for eczema. For example, they may contain chemicals such as alcohols, terpenes, esters, aldehydes, ethers, and ketones (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/skin-problems-and-treatments\/eczema\/eczema-essential-oils\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have eczema, WebMD suggests staying away from lavender oil, even when you mix it with a milder carrier oil or are considering adding it to your bath water. In addition, it would be best to avoid products with these oils in their ingredients list (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/skin-problems-and-treatments\/eczema\/eczema-essential-oils\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conversely, Medical News Today reports that several studies actually support using lavender oil for eczema, due to its antimicrobial and antifungal properties (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/lavender-oil-for-skin\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

But before you do that there are a few things you need to know about using lavender oil for your skin. They are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_Is_An_Essential_Oil\"><\/span><b>It Is An Essential Oil<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lavender oil is an example of essential oil, as mentioned earlier. Unfortunately, you cannot use any essential oil directly on your skin because some are too harsh. If you are planning to use lavender or any other essential oil on your skin, be sure to mix it first with a carrier.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, use a carrier that aligns with your goal of using these oils in the first place. For example, if you want these oils to treat pimples, you can mix lavender oil with tea tree or argan oil (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/lavender-oil-for-skin\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Application\"><\/span><b>Application<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of the oil&#8217;s intended purpose, you can directly apply and massage the oil into your skin using your fingers. Note that you should first thoroughly wash your hands before applying the lavender oil mixture to your skin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alternatively, you can use clean cotton pads and later dispose of them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Steaming\"><\/span><b>Steaming<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also use lavender oil in a steam facial for acne treatment or similar issues.

Skin lightening is sometimes referred to as skin bleaching, meaning lightening dark areas of the skin using bleaching creams, skin brighteners, fading creams, or whiteners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This has become prevalent nowadays, hence the craze for skin-lightening products.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most evidence shows that lavender oil is suitable for all skin types for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there is no denying that there have been several rumors about this essential oil lightening the skin. According to Medical News Today, more research is required to back up this supposed effect.

Similarly, using lavender oil for your skin or other topical products containing this oil has been linked to allergic skin reactions (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/lavender-oil-for-skin\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may find that some people may get hives or rashes when they use products containing lavender oil.

Although lavender oil is said to help treat eczema, there is insufficient evidence to prove this. Be very careful when using lavender oil for the skin as it causes irritation, hives, and rashes when a carrier is not used.
