Lavender bath:

If your skin is dry and itchy, try taking a bath with dried lavender and oatmeal.

 You just need some oatmeal, dried lavender, and a muslin bag.

  1. Place two tablespoons of lavender and two tablespoons of oatmeal in the muslin bag.
  2. Fill a bathtub with warm water and toss the bag in.
  3. Soak in the bath for as long as you want.

Combine with honey for a face mask:

A face mask made with lavender and raw honey can leave your skin feeling clean and refreshed. Mix a tablespoon of raw honey with three drops of lavender essential oil and leave it for 15 minutes. 

This works best if you need to moisturize your face due to dry skin.
