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 like to exfoliate using the Mint Satin Facial Scrub. I also use an exfoliating mitt (designed for facial use) with ART facial cleanser during my showers. After exfoliating in the shower before bedtime I use Sandalwood Cream and Wolfberry eye cream; morning shower I use ART moisturizer. The ART Masque is wonderful to experience as well (I sometimes add Rose oil to this masque).
I love this blog and the DIY information every one post. I am using Lavender and Mint shampoo with Myrrh and Melrose. I love the Essential Beauty Serum. I use it in my moisturizer, but want to start an ART regimen
I love you YOUNG LIVING!
Every morning I start with a little Frankincense on my face! I also drink a ton of water. I'm excited to try Cedarwood and the Lavender Oatmeal Bar Soap.
I just got the Art Skin Line for May's promo. Would be delighted to be a winner.
I use Frankincense with my ART moisturizer sometimes. Other times I like to experiment with Tangerine, Lavender, Harmony, Joy and other oils, it just depends how I feel that day!!!
Little or minimum exposure to sun will help with skin. Using a hat or sunscreen can save your skin.
I love adding essential oils to my favorite daily moisturizer.
Love reading everyone's tips here! Lots of ideas for me to try out!!
I love adding a drop of frankincense to my face creams. And I add Joy to my baths. I love my DIY sugar scrubs made with essential oils and so does my skin!
Using YL Essential Oils makes me smile and smiling is the best beauty tip that always makes me look good! :)
