Lavender has been used extensively in herbalism and aromatherapy for centuries; it has antiseptic properties and its distinct aroma can help calm nerves and even help you sleep!

 There are tons of products out there that contain lavender essential oil; everything from perfume to bubble bath can be be found containing the soothing scent. I worked my way through tons of lavender scented lotions and potions to discover my favorite lavender scented goodies.

So, check out which lavender products topped my list:

This body scrub was just divine, not only did it provide a gentle exfoliation, but it foamed up in the shower leaving the skin clean and soft.
