Young Living offers some great essential oil combinations to nourish your complexion. Essential oils penetrate the skin’s surface to renew cells, balance moisture and keep it healthy without harmful chemicals. There are three different Young Living serums to target skin types: Dry, oily and acne-prone. All three blends include a conditioning base of Vitamin E, coconut, avocado, jojoba, rosehip seed and wolfberry seed oils. Lecithin is added for added moisture.
The Essential Beauty Serum for Dry skin contains essential oils of cedarwood, blue cypress, lavender, myrrh, clove and sandalwood. This combination of oils helps to moisturize, soften and revitalize the skin. I use this blend year-round and find it is not overly-greasy and penetrates the skin quickly.
The Essential Beauty Serum for Acne-Prone Skin has essential oils of Eucalyptus staigeriana, melaleuca alternifolia, cedarwood, manuka and thyme. This blend of essential oils is highly antiseptic, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. This non-drying blend helps heal and nourish the skin and decrease inflammation.
Many of the oils in all these blends have properties to help heal damaged tissues, not just mask your skin’s problems or fill in lines with synthetics to improve the appearance. Your skin is the largest organ of your body and any lotions or products you apply will be absorbed into your bloodstream and circulate throughout. When you use therapeutic grade essential oils on your complexion, your whole body will benefit from these natural ingredients. Give your skin the best of care and use only the purest products.
