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.
Love these tips. Started using EO about 4 months ago and I’m totally hooked. I’ve made my own face serums and lots other DIY products!!!!
I use the ART facial cleansing system and finish with frankincense. I also believe in limiting sun exposure to a minimum and using proper screening products to deter sun damage. I love YL skincare products and enjoy the orange blossom facial wash as well. Thank you YL!
I use Frankincense daily but I added carrot seed to my ER order. Can’t wait to try it!
Being new to Young Living, I am so excited to learn as much as I can about essential oils. I can’t wait to share my new business with all my family, friends and their friends.
Remember to keep your pores clean by occasionally steaming your face.
After washing my face I use Art toner, I apply my moisturizer with a drop of Lavender, Frankincense, Geranium – smells sooo good!
Looking forward to getting my glow on this summer!
I add a few drops of rose oil into 10 mL of jojoba oil and slather it on my face every night before bed. Gives a nice glow and smells amazing!
I would love to try these products! Every new Young Living product I try has blown me away!
Manuka on my face and neck!
I use lavender and frankincense in my moisturizer. It smells wonderful and my face feels amazing
I would love to try these products!!
I make sure to use plenty of sunscreen on my face before going out in the sun. I use a moisturizer that I add lavender, frankincense, and stress away to. And I don’t wear any makeup.
I add a drop of Sacred Frankincense Essential Oil to my ART Light Moisturizer. Myrrh mixed with my foundation is great too.
I would love to give these products a try! I always look forward to trying new products from YL and look forward to sharing with others! Young Living oils are that good!

Love the ART Skin Care system and using a drop or two of V-6 on a dampened cotton round to remove makeup. Favorite tip is using Lavaderm spritz my face.
I find that reduced stress helps to keep skin looking its best.
I use a sandalwood moisturizer at night and love it but I am very eager to try the ART skin care products! I will be ordering the lavender oatmeal soap too!
Simple tips with beautiful results!
After showering I am applying Coconut oil with Melrose and Manuka. My husband is using Frankincense and Lavender. I fixed him up his own little pampering station. Thanks Young Living.
I add 4-5 drops of Frankincense to my Boswellia Wrinkle Cream. These two are so lovely together
I use Sandalwood moisturizer with a drop of Carrot Seed oil for added skin support.
An absolute must for me is moisturizing my face every morning. Also be sure to clean the makeup off your face every night.
This routine sounds wonderful! I use some of these already but I will add to it!
Art light moisturizer is my very favorite! I add frankincense every night!

Great tips! The lavender oatmeal exfoliating bar sounds wonderful! Definitely a must try!
Love adding Frankinsence to my skin care routine using the ART Skin Care system. Look forward to trying the Lavender Oatmeal Bar Soap.
Learning what my actual skin type is and using products specifically geared for it have gone a long way in helping my skin look it’s best!
One thing that I really notice to have an effect on my skin is physical activity! As long as I wash my face/body shortly after sweating from a good workout, my skin has so much life in it! It really clears up my face and gets it looking rejuvenating.
I like the sound of this!
Can’t wait to try the Lavender Oatmeal Soap! I try and dry brush all over three times a week, shower and then towel dry very lightly before adding a combination of Genesis Body Lotion and Cel-Lite Magic massage oil.
Good info. Always remove all makeup before bedtime. I like to add a drop of frankincense EO to my moisturizer at night.
