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.

I've made a roller blend with frankincense, lavender and geranium, topped off with coconut oil.
Since last fall, I have added Lavender Young Living Oil to my nightly beauty routine.
I love the ART skincare line, orange blossom wash, mint scrub, Wolfberry eye cream, bowselia wrinkle cream, would love to try the Sheerlume. Also, there are YLEO's singles and blends.
I've just started to use frankincense and manuka in my moisturizer.
Love this!
Recently I started mixing 1 tbl sp coconut oil, 1 tbl sp baking soda, and 10 drops of my favorite Young Living oil and rub on my feet. Then I walk around my house with fuzzy socks on. My feet are ready for summer!
I made a salt and sugar scrub with my YL essential oils! I also use a serum with frankincense and a facial wash that I made with YL oils. :) (Not in that order though!)
Going to try exfoliating and adding Frankincense for dewy skin!
I love using the mint facial scrub a couple times a week. It's so gentle. Followed by some Frankincense in my ART moisturizer for an easy summer glow.
I'm a 19 year old male and have used a pumice cleanse face wash for my face each night for exfoliation for the past several years. These products look great and the article was very informative!
