I like to use lavender, a lot, for candles and I even make a specialty bread with dried lavender.
I even use lavender to make my own sugar scrub. The recipe is simple (the measurement is by ratio):
2 parts organic crystalline sugar
1 part coconut oil
1/2 cup of epsom salt
1 cup of dried lavender
several drops of organic lavender oil
Directions: If the coconut oil is in a solid state, warm the coconut oil to the extent that it is in liquid state. Take the liquid coconut oil and combine it with the crystalline sugar, epsom salts, dried lavender and lavender oil. Mix well. The final appearance of your sugar scrub product should be a grainy texture that you can store in a glass or ceramic jar. Store in a cool place so that the coconut oil can return to its solid state.
I love to use a sugar scrub on my face, feet, arms, hands and legs
because it leaves my skin feeling and looking very soft and pretty.
