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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.

Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!
Rose, rose and more rose! I find with this hot and humid weather, nothing is more refreshing to me than a spritzer bottle with distilled water and a few drops of YL Rose E/O. I use this after my daily skin routine and throughout the day. The aroma is beautiful!
Can't wait to try the Lavender Oatmeal soap =)
Love adding YL Frankincense to my moisturizer. Would love chance to try other YL beauty products!
Cleanse & moisturize w/ coconut oil and YL Frankincense for a youthful glow!
I'm trying something new for my skin. I'm putting the new Lavender Oatmeal Bar Soap to my next order!
I also love the Rose Ointment!
I love my roller bottle of fractionated coconut oil and frankincense. Love my YL oils!
I always look forward to the tips on this blog. I have used so many of these tips in sharing YL with my friends and family. It is so interesting to see how others use their essentials oils in their daily routines! Frankincense in my morning moisturizer and lavender in my nightly moisturizer is a must for this oily girl!
Absolutely love Frankincense for skin support! I am excited to try the lavender-oatmeal bar soap!
