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!
-
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.
-
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.

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.
These are all really great tips! Coconut oil with a drop of lavender makes a great moisturizer as well.
I like to apply Manuka and Frankincense oils to my face
I love using the Mint Facial Scrub. 1-2 times a week!

I use ART toner after cleansing and before moisturizing then Sheerlume and frankincense to finish up. I love the products.
I never thought about adding essential oils to my foundation. I will be adding that to my daily routine. Thank You!
I started adding drops of Frankincense to my moisturizer. Thank you Young Living.
I’m a mom of two (ages 2 and 5) very energetic girls. I can’t honestly remember the last time I had more than 6 hours of sleep at night! Lack of beauty sleep often shows in my face. I received a wonderful tip to use Young Living’s German Chamomile. I use jojoba oil as a carrier (about a nickel or quarter size) and one drop of the German Chamomile eo. Dab w/a q-tip, and gently apply before bed.
Awesome tips! I love ART Foaming Cleanser and toner as well! Can’t wait to try these other 2 products :)
So great to learn more about other products that Young Living has.
I love Art moisturizer. I also adore Geranium oil on my skin. Of course, water is my other tool.
I have recently started using Manuka, Frankincense and sweet almond oil morning and evening.
One of my best things for skincare is not being afraid to try something new. I love my skincare products from Young Living and I would never have discovered them if I hadn’t been willing to change up my old routine. This being said, I did change them over one at a time starting with my face wash, then moisturizer, then face masque etc. so I could see how I liked each one individually another tip is to have a slightly heavier face moisturizer for the wintertime and a lighter for summer.
I have made a few skin care items with oils.
I use a combination of jojoba oil, Melrose, Frankincense & Geranium in a roller bottle and roll on chest, neck and face as needed.
Love the Wolfberry Eye cream
Thanks again to the BEST company! What a GREAT giveaway!
I love the idea of adding cedarwood or frankincense to my foundation. I am new to this so I appreciate all the ideas. Thanks so much.
Don’t forget to moisturize your neck and chest too!
I use YL’s Sandalwood Moisturizing Cream. It has been the perfect product to add to my daily skin care regime!
I also use orange blossom face wash every night and witch hazel in the morning! Would love to try the Art products.
I would love to try the lavender oatmeal bar soap!! Sounds luxurious! : )
I like using a raw honey mask a couple of times a week in addition to using coconut oil afterwards mixed with patchouli or lavender
I put a drop of lemon oil in my face wash each morning.
I went to a YL Beauty Class last week in Enid, OK and was AMAZED. I plan to implement the whole ART system into my regimen as soon as possible. I LOVE YOUNG LIVING!!!
I love my Young Living skin care products!

And to top my skin off, a whipped body butter with YLEO that has Elemi amd Stress Away. All of these in addition to the exercising, eating right, lots of water, and many oils to support my attitude and outlook! Love Young Living! So thankful!
