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 love coconut oil with lavender and frankincense added to it for my daily moisture regime.
I mix lavender and frankincense in my daily moisturizer! I'm going to try the lavender oatmeal bar
I love using melrose oil on my face and I like the rose ointment particularly on my hands, feet, elbows, and knees.
I currently alternate each morning with Frankincense, Elemi or Manuka in my moisturizer, but now I'll have to include Cedarwood in that lineup! :) It definitely starts my day out right.
I use Frankincense or Manuka mixed with V-6 oil
I think at 44 , I should be aging gracefully. Natural skin and it's imperfections are beautiful. So I don't cover my face with foundation. I use a little powder but otherwise I let me shine through. I think that's real beauty.
Thanks so much for this blog and the great tips! I love the products for the face. I was lucky to get the ART line as a free gift with my purchase, and love it! I use the sandalwood moisturizer and love that too! I am so glad to be part of your "family" ! I ran out of Frankincense, and I am hoping to get it next month. Besides Stress Away, it's one of my favorites!
I've recently made a roller with Patchouli, Gentle Baby & jojoba as the carrier.
Meditation and deep breathing. Taking time to release the stress I build up over the day encourages me to eat better instead of taking a trip to the junk food drawer to cope.
I love using Frankincense on my face. I started mixing it with my foundation right after I got my first bottle. I've done away with all my expensive department store products. Starting each day with Bosellia Wrinkle Cream.
