July 10th is a beautiful summer day to celebrate one of our favorite herbs: lavender. Known for its fragrant aroma and beautiful purple blooms, lavender has been cherished and used for centuries.
Prized for its soothing properties, lavender essential oil is often used to help calm redness and irritation, making it a popular choice for sensitive or distressed skin.
Traditionally, lavender has been used to support the skin's natural recovery process and may help soothe minor burns, breakouts, and itchy bug bites. By helping to balance the skin, lavender may support the skin's natural moisture barrier without feeling overly oily or drying. Its natural cleansing properties may also promote a clearer, healthier-looking complexion, leaving skin feeling refreshed and nourished.
Beyond its skincare benefits, lavender is widely used in aromatherapy to promote relaxation and create a sense of calm, making it a wonderful addition to any self-care routine. Add a few drops of lavender essential oil to your bathwater or an unscented body lotion for a soothing experience. You can also enjoy lavender's calming aroma by diffusing it throughout your home or spritzing a lavender pillow spray before bed for a peaceful night's rest.
There are countless ways to celebrate National Lavender Day. Try making a lavender-infused treat, such as lavender lemonade, visit a local lavender farm for a U-pick experience, or—our favorite—treat yourself to our very own Lavender Moon Bar. However you choose to celebrate, National Lavender Day is the perfect opportunity to enjoy the beauty, fragrance, and benefits of this beloved herb.
