Skin and Body: Personal Care and Essential Oils

Young Living therapeutic-grade essential oils work wonders for enhancing the complexion - promoting general health and wellness of skin. Great for the skin and hair, essential oils offer the added benefit of their refreshing, relaxing, and rejuvenating properties.

What separates Young Living's oil-infused product line from others is the quality of the essential oils in each formulation - whether in the YL products or in the skin care recipes you make at home - be sure to see Tips and Recipes for ideas.

Whether you're interested in bath, body, hair, or skin care, Young Living has the products for your daily personal care needs - without harmful ingredients!

Your skin is the largest organ on your body, and comes into contact with many pollutants each day that can wreak havoc on it. In addition to this, many of us put body products onto our skin that are too harsh, and even chemical based. There is a saying amongst health authorities that you should never put anything on your skin that you would not eat, since the skin absorbs everything into the body that you put on it. Dr. Mercola says "if you can't read or pronounce the ingredient, there is a high likelihood it should not be in your lotion or other skin care product." There is no doubt about it, when it comes to superior skin care, nature has the best solutions.

Aromatherapy Bath

Revitalize body and mind with Young Living's wide selection of shower gels and soaps. Whether mixing your own signature scent with Young Living's Bath & Shower Gel Base, or lathering up with Lavender-Rosewood Moisturizing Soap, the mild formulations in Young Living's bath and shower lineup guarantee aromatic options for all your pampering needs.

You can easily create your own Bath Fizzers, Mist, and Scrub using Young Livings elite, pure essential oils! The sky is the limit when it comes to what scents and moods you would like to create!

Another luxurious bath idea is to create your own bath salts using;

• 4 cups Epsom salts

• 30 drops of your favorite essential oil or blend

  Simply mix these ingredients in a bowl until well combined, put into a pretty jar and store next to your bathtub.

  The Environmental Working Group has conducted researches and study's that have found hundreds of chemicals in people's bodies. Many of these chemicals come from bath and body products we use everyday, and they have been linked to many health problems, as they throw the body off balance. By making your own bath and body products, and using chemical free bath and body products like the ones listed below, you can greatly minimize your chemical exposure. This is especially important for children, since they are more sensitive to chemicals, and their little endocrine and immune systems are worse at handling these chemicals then adults are.

  "I firmly believe our family's avoidance of regular bath and body products, and other chemical sources are a huge part of why we enjoy better health then so many around us."~Shayla

  Testimonials

  "Whenever I get my underarms waxed I always apply lavender essential oil to soothe the skin. It works better than anything the salon has used." ~ B. J. Ayers

  "I love the Rose Ointmentª. I use it on my lips at night before I go to bed. I have noticed that if I start to get a cold sore it keeps it from developing. It is a wonderful product." ~ Glenda Deems

  "One great skin care tip that works wonderfully for toning my skin is to add the essential oil blend Gentle Baby by Young Living to some witch hazel. It gently cleanses away dirt and excess oils, while calming the skin and refining the texture at the same time. I like to keep things simple, so I just add around 15 to 20 drops of the essential oil to my bottle of witch hazel, shake it before use, and apply it with a cotton pad. Although I like Gentle Baby, others may prefer lavender, frankincense, or geranium. All of these are good oils recommended for the skin."
