Get Your Glow On: 3 Tips for Great-Looking Skin

Ready to show off a little skin this summer? All this warm weather has us trading in our jeans for cool shorts, our sweaters for tees, and boots for sandals. Your skin will glow this season with our simple tips for keeping it looking luminous and healthy!

 

  1. Exfoliate

Your skin is constantly working to regenerate. As this process happens, dead skin cells move to the surface. Buildup of dead skin cells can dull your complexion and suck up the moisture and benefits from your skin care products. As you get older, this process slows, increasing buildup.

That’s where exfoliation comes in. Using a gentle exfoliator one to three times a week removes dead skin, helping your inner beauty shine through. Pay attention to how your skin reacts, though, since over-exfoliation can irritate the skin and cause reddening—you know your skin best!

We love our new Lavender-Oatmeal Bar Soap for gently exfoliating your body with oat bran, leaving your skin feeling soft and supple.

If you prefer using a body gel, try using an exfoliating glove or a gentle salt scrub as part of your shower routine.

  1. Moisturize

Once you’ve exfoliated, give back to your skin with your favorite moisturizer! Moisturizer is the easiest way to get back your glow while helping your skin look and feel softer and smoother.

Moisturize immediately after bathing by patting your skin dry with a towel, locking in moisture. Give the sensitive skin on your face added hydration with our ART® Light Moisturizer or brighten and even the appearance of skin tone with Sheerlumé™. If you already use a facial moisturizer you love but love the benefits of essential oils, try mixing a small amount of Frankincense or Cedarwood to your daily application of liquid foundation to help your skin look dewy all day long.

Increase the moisture in the air of your workspace with a humidifying diffuser like our Dewdrop™, Home, or Bamboo diffusers.

  1. Take care of yourself

Look and feel your best by following these three easy tips:

Sleep

Your grandmother’s beauty sleep is one of the best ways to rejuvenate your body and skin every single day. The Mayo Clinic has a great resource to see how much sleep you need each night, depending on your age and other factors.

Hydrate

Like the rest of your body, your skin dries out when you aren’t drinking enough water. Ensure you stay hydrated by keeping a reusable, spill-proof water bottle on hand at your desk, running errands, or even around the house. Flavor your water by infusing it with Vitality essential oils and fruit. You’ll love the burst of flavor, and your body will love the hydration!

Eat Healthy

Give your body the nutrients it needs! Research suggests that eating a diet full of antioxidant-rich foods like carrots, apricots, leafy greens, tomatoes, blueberries, legumes, fatty fish, and nuts can help improve your overall health and with it, your skin’s appearance.

 

This summer, be confident in your own beautiful skin! These easy tips are just a few ways to start, if you haven’t already.

  • Love all the homemade recipes provided by YL. Have a lot of the oils. Just got in on the June 10 discount. Love using frankincense, lavender, and copiaiba oils in my moisturizer not to mention thieves oil for cleaning and laundry. Love the aroma of all these products!!!

  • Another great skincare tip is to be careful of getting hair products on your face. If you use hairspray, be sure to cover your face with a cloth to protect from over-spray.

  • Copaiba is an excellent oil to add to your skin care regime. I've added Lemon, Lavender, Frankincense, just a drop or two of Peppermint oil, a few sprinkles of baking soda, Copaiba and Cedarwood to Pure Castille soap to an empty Thieves foamer bottle. Love the fresh scent!

  • To keep my skin looking beautiful, my daily routine includes using my DIY Lavender face wash. It contains castile soap, vitamin E oil, Young Living Lavender essential oil and water. My face feels clean and the smell is amazing! Great way to start and end my day.

  • Love adding frankincense to my daily moisturizer. It has made an incredible difference in my skin. Thank you Young Living.

  • Getting rid of the emotional baggage. The stress that came with the issues I was dealing with would cause havoc on my skin. Plus, I stopped wearing make up (of any kind) and wash my face every other day with the ART skin care system. :)
