Before you start
Play some gentle, soothing music to set the mood.
Mix 1 tablespoon of a good quality sweet almond oil or any other Carrier Oil with 3 drops pure lavender oil, 1 drop geranium and 2 drops marjoram. Do NOT use spike lavender or lavandin. This is your massage oil.
The facial

Remove make up with milk. Wash off the milk with lots of warm water.
Mix 5 tablespoonful of oat flour, 5 teaspoons of honey and 1 drop of pure lavender oil. Do NOT use spike lavender or lavandin. Add distilled water or milk for a smooth consistency.
Apply some of this as a mask on clean face. (avoid eye area)
Body pampering
Wash your body with soap and water first.
Apply the rest of the mask on your body. (Skip this mask if you are allergic to honey, milk or oats)
Fill the bath tub with warm water.
Add 10 drops of pure lavender oil to the bath water. Do NOT use spike lavender or lavandin. The large amount of camphor in these oils could keep you awake instead.
Soak in the bath, scrubbing yourself with a wash cloth. Stay for as long as you like, listening to the music and relaxing. Just don’t fall asleep in the tub. If you start to get sleepy, quickly get out of the bath dry yourself and put on comfortable clothes.
