Lavender flower water (lavandin hydrosol) is one of the best-loved natural skincare products thanks to its soothing and regenerating effect. It has a balanced pH, contains no alcohol and suits almost every skin type, including sensitive skin and skin prone to blemishes. It soothes irritated skin, refreshes it and hydrates it.
What lavandin hydrosol is and how it differs from lavender
Hydrosols, also known as flower waters, are produced during steam distillation of the plant, together with the essential oil. They contain the plant’s trace elements and small amounts of essential oil, which is why they are mild and suitable for applying directly to the skin. They also have a gentle aromatherapy value: a pleasant scent while they care for your skin.
Lavandin (Lavandula hybrida) is a cross between true lavender and spike lavender. Lavandin hydrosol is used in exactly the same way as lavender hydrosol and differs only in scent: it is naturally stronger and sharper. It can be intense at first, but it evaporates quickly and becomes milder.
What lavender flower water is used for
- Face toner: morning and evening, after cleansing and before your cream or serum.
- Hydrating mist: to refresh face and body in hot weather.
- After sun: soothes and cools the skin.
- After hair removal and shaving: for skin that feels calm.
- After insect bites: soothes the irritated spot.
- Oily skin: helps balance oily skin and reduce the appearance of pores.
- Sensitive skin and children: alcohol-free and gentle enough for children’s skin.
