Lavender contains antioxidants that help in combating free radicals that cause the skin to age drastically.These free radicals are the cause of the appearance of early signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines. As lavender is packed with antioxidants, it will help slow down the onset of early aging, making you not only look, but also feel youthful.
