The reason why i haved added homecare is lavender water can be used as disinfectant and room spray air freshner.

Air purifier :
In my aromatheraphy course i learned this tip , to create instant refreshing smell in a room /during spa for the rich warm feeling , take a cotton ball add few drops of lavender essential oil ,in a mini bowl put the cotton ball(you can keep that in a dry bowl or else add water and mix few drops of lavender E.O) ,close the room for sometime , this smell will blend in air, it can completely freshen up air from that day this essentil oil turned as my favourite one . 
Does it helps for beautiful skin ?
Yes it does, for making the lavender mist here is the procedure
Skin toner/refreshing toner/facial toner
  1. You can use dry flowers /fresh flowers 
  2. 2 oz distilled water (to boil the flowers )or witch hazel 
  3. Lavender Essential oil 20 drops 
The procedure is boil the flowers in distilled water , let the essence be absorbed ,take out the pan from the stove allow it to cool add essential oil and store it in a spraying bottle.If you opt for witch hazel, add the E.O's alone store it in a spray bottle.After cleansing face /after bath spray this mist on face allow it to air dry . The E.o amount should'nt be high ,you can reduce the amount but do not increase if you are not sure about your DIY quantity.E.o's are powerful as well as effective .
