Vibrant, beautiful skin has always been considered an important part of health. But in today’s modern environment, soft, smooth, flawless skin can be difficult to achieve and even more challenging to maintain. Your skin’s health is largely determined by diet, lifestyle habits, and sun exposure, which can sabotage healthy skin and leave lasting effects on skin strength, resiliency, and appearance.

Therapeutic essential oils offer pure, potent plant remedies for the skin and have been used since ancient times for a number of skin care needs. The addition of Melaleuca (tea tree oil) in this serum can prevent the recurrence of breakouts and blemishes. As the leader in the essential oil industry, Young Living recognizes the many benefits of essential oils and has always promoted the use of pure essential oils as an important part of any skin care regimen.

Young Living’s Essential Beauty Serum for Dry Skin offers the skin care benefits of pure essential oils to protect, strengthen, and improve the appearance of the skin. Utilizing a proprietary blend of skin-nourishing carrier oils such as coconut, avocado, jojoba, rosehip seed, and wolfberry seed for ease in application and absorption and to protect the skin without over drying or clogging pores. The dry skin formula moisturizes and nourishes dehydrated skin.Essential Beauty Serum for Dry Skin

Therapeutic essential oils offer pure, potent plant remedies for the skin and have been used since ancient times for a number of skin care needs. It’s no secret that lavender oil nourishes stressed or sunburned skin, that sandalwood can hydrate and repair dry or damaged skin, or that melaleuca can prevent the recurrence of breakouts and blemishes. This long history of use has prompted beauty, cos- metic, and skin care brands to use essential oils to improve the potency of their products. As the leader in the essential oil industry, Young Living recognizes the many benefits of essential oils and has always promoted the use of pure essential oils as an important part of any skin care regimen. Having set the standard in quality, therapeutic-grade essential oils, Young Living knows which oils deliver the best results and has carefully selected pure, unadulterated essential oils for their premium line of skincare and beauty products.

Key Ingredients in the Essential Beauty serum for Dry Skin

  • Essential Oils: sandalwood, blue cypress, cedar- wood, myrrh, clove, and lavender essential oils.
  • Avocado Oil: a rich source of vitamin E and lutein. Lutein can absorb UV light and help protect the skin from sun damage.
  • Wolfberry Seed Oil: is exceptionally protective and nourishing to skin and is rich in omega- 3 and omega-6 fats, which allow the oil to moisturize the outer dermal layers.
  • Rosehip Seed Oil: rich in omega-3 essential fats, improves texture and restores the skin’s natural moisture balance.[1]

Q&A

Q Does my skin have to be damaged or notice- ably troubled for me to use the Essential Beauty Serums?

A No. In fact, although they are highly effective in treating problem skin, the ingredients in these serums are mild enough that they can act as a protectant for the skin and help prevent future problems from occurring. Essential oils also con- tain antioxidant properties that can help correct damaged skin and minimize the signs of aging.

Q Since many essential oils can be drying to skin, how is the dry skin formula effective in keeping the skin moist?

A Each of the serum blends contains essential oils that target specific skin types. The essential oils help remove compacted keratin and sebum from skin follicles that can contribute to excessive oil, breakouts and poor skin clarity. Once the debris from the skin has been removed, the unique vegetable oil complex creates a protective lipid layer that hydrates and moisturizes the skin. The vegetable oil complex also retains a quota of es- sential oils for sustained antioxidant activity and cell protection.

How to Use Essential Beauty Serum for Dry Skin

Lightly spot apply Essential Beauty Serum to problem areas on the face and neck regions before moisturizer, sun block, or makeup is applied.

If preferred, add 3-5 drops of the serum to the ART Day Activator or ART Night Reconstructor creams, mix well, and spread evenly over the face. Serums should be applied in the morning and again in the evening.

"There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly." ~ R. Buckminster Fuller

Boswellia Wrinkle CreamSkins exposure to summer sun can become dry and itchy, here is a terrific way to get rid of the itchiness, smooth wrinkles, and maintain radiant youthful looking skin. What I personally enjoy most using these products is that I’m putting something extremely pure on my skin and no worries about what kind of chemicals might be in there that will have negative affects on my overall health and wellness.

Boswellia is part of the Latin name for Frankincense. Frankincense is well known for its regenerative effects on the skin, it’s one of my favorite essential oils. Boswellia Wrinkle Creme is a collagen builder. Used daily, it will help minimize and prevent wrinkles. The addition of the suggested therapeutic-grade essential oils, also known for their skin healing properties, to the Boswellia Cream makes this recipe over-the-top terrific in my opinion.

The Boswellia Wrinkle Cream is very concentrated, so you will only be using a very small amount per application, making this an extremely luxurious treatment for very little. The one tablespoon of Boswellia Wrinkle Cream in this recipe will probably be more than enough to do your face, neck, arms, hands, feet and knees.

Add the following to 1 TBSP Boswellia Wrinkle Cream (#5141)…

  • 6 drops Rosewood essential oil (#3629)
  • 4 drops Geranium essential oil (#3554)
  • 3 drops Lavender essential oil (#3575)
  • 2 drops Frankincense essential oil (#3548)

Apply mixture to face, neck, arms, hands, legs and feet twice a day.

Tip: the Boswellia Wrinkle Cream is excellent on it’s own and you only need a tiny amount on an area to get the benefits. To give you an idea of how far this cream goes, one TBSP will do most of the areas mentioned above, that’s how little you need to use. Making this product extremely cost efficient!

Ingredients: Calendula extract, Chamomile extract, Linoleic acid, Lecithin (soy), Rosebud extract, Orange (Citrus aurantium dulcis) blossom extract, St. John’s wort (Hypericum perferatum) extract, Aloe vera, Kelp extract, Ginkgo biloba extract, Grape seed extract, ASC 111, Goat’s cream, Glyceryl stearate, Capric/caprylic triglyc eride, Shea butter, Wolfberry (Lycium barbarum) seed oil, Stearic acid, Stearyl alcohol, Sodium PCA, Sodium hyaluronate, Ningxia wolfberry (Lycium barbarum) seed oil, Allantoin, Panthenol, Retinyl palmitate (vitamin A), Tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E), Beta-sitosterol, Mannitol, MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane), Dipalmitoy / Hydroxyproline, Phenoxyethanol, and Sodium ascorbate, and therapeutic-grade Essential Oils of: Frankincense, Sandalwood, Myrrh, Geranium, and Ylang Ylang.

"There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly." ~ R. Buckminster Fuller

In the next several weeks I will be writing articles on the many, many ways essential oils may be used for physical, mental, spiritual, emotional well-being, for ourselves, those around us, our animals, and also for keeping our homes clean and us safe, by using non toxic chemicals.

So let me get started.

Acne

Our skin is our armor and the largest absorbent organ of the body. Protecting the skin environment is essential. Many chemical molecules are too large to be absorbed and lay on the surface of the skin, causing irritation, resulting in rashes, itching, blemishes, flaky and dry skin, dandruff, and allergies.

Essential oils are soluble through lipids in the skin and are easily absorbed. Many skin conditions may be related to dysfunctions of the liver. It may be necessary to cleanse, stimulate, and condition the liver and colon for 30 to 90 days before the skin begins to improve.

Acne results from an excess accumulation of dirt and sebum around the hair follicle and the pores of the skin. This accumulation may be due to an over-production of sebum, an oily substance that is secreted by the sebaceous glands in the hair follicles. As the pores and hair follicles become congested, bacteria begins to feed on the sebum. This leads to inflammation and infection around the hair follicle and the formation of a pimple or a puss-filled blackhead.

One of the most common forms of acne, Acne vulgaris, occurs primarily in adolescents due to hormone imbalances, which stimulate the creation of sebum.

Acne in adults can be also be caused by hormone balances, as well as use of chlorinated compounds, endocrine system imbalances, or poor dietary practices. Heavy or greasy makeup can also contribute to acne.

Bible oils have been being used since biblical times and thankfully they are returning to the “mainstream” and are becoming more familiar to many.  Myrrh is an amazing essential oil that God has blessed us with.

Myrrh is mentioned in one of the oldest known medical records, Ebers Papyrus (dating from sixteenth century BC) an ancient Egyptian list of 877 prescriptions and recipes. The Arabian people used myrrh for many skin conditions, such as chapped and cracked skin and wrinkles. It was listed in Hildegard’s Medicine, a compilation of early German medicines by highly-regarded Benedictine herbalist Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179).

Myrrh promotes spiritual awareness and is uplifting. It contains Sesquiterpenes which stimulate the limbic system of the brain (the center of memory and emotions) and the hypothalamus, pineal and pituitary glands. The hypothalamus is the master gland of the human body, producing many vital hormones including thyroid and growth hormone.

Song Of Solomon 3:6—”Who [is] this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?”

Song Of Solomon 4:6—“Until the day break and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.”

Scriptures: Genesis 37:25; 43:11; Exodus 30:23; Esther 2:12; Psalms 45:8; Proverbs 7:17 (Also in Exodus 30:34 as “Stacte”); Song Solomon 1:13; 3:6; 4:6, 14: 5:1, 5, 13; Matthew 2:11; 26:7, 9, 12; Mark 14:3, 4, 15:23; Luke 7:37, 38 46; 23:56; John 11:2; 12:3, 5; 19:39

Myrrh is mentioned in the Bible 18 times. When Esther was being prepared to be the bride of the King, she received a daily anointing of oil of myrrh for six months. (Esther 2:12). Of course, that’s not what most Christians think of when they think of myrrh. They think of the gifts of the wise men. (Matthew 2:11)

Myrrh was an oil customarily applied to the umbilical cord of newborn babies. It’s antimicrobial action offered as a protection from infection. The wise men would not have had to explain this to Mary and Joseph. It was common knowledge at that time. They would not have had to explain to Mary that the gift was also for her. Childbearing women of that time knew that if they applied myrrh to their tummies following labor that it would eventually remove stretch marks.

In fact, in ancient times, for those who could afford it, oil of myrrh was inhaled and applied daily to the skin throughout pregnancy and was diffused during labor as its aromas induce a sense of peace and well-being.

Myrrh, like frankincense, is a universal oil, offering benefits for numerous complaints and conditions. Indicated for bronchitis, dysentery, hyperthyroidism, oral and vaginal thrush, ulcers, and viral hepatitis, it has also been found to benefit asthma, athlete’s foot, coughs, eczema, gingivitis, gum infections, hemorrhoids, mouth ulcers, ringworm, wounds, wrinkles, and chapped or cracked skin. It is widely used today in oral hygiene products.*

Myrrh is what is known as “a fixing oil.” It extends the therapeutic action of any other oil with which it is combined. Biblical people knew this and included myrrh as a significant portion of all of their ointments. In fact, myrrh was such a universally common ingredient of healing ointments at the time of Christ that the Greek word for “ointment” (muron) and the Greek word for “myrrh” (muron) were the same. Thus, when Jesus was anointed with the precious ointment (muron) of spikenard (Matthew 26:1; Mark 14:1-9; Luke 7:36-50; John 11:1-2, 12:1-8) he was also being anointed with myrrh.

Order Myrrh Here

Myrrh has a very gentle scent and its fixing property is highly prized by perfumers. When combined with other oils, it makes the scent of those oils last longer without masking them. Some of the most delightful fragrances are also short-lived, evaporating rapidly. When one wears perfume or cologne, they want it to last for a whole evening or a day, and not be gone in minutes. Perfumers find myrrh to be the perfect “fixing oil” to extend more volatile fragrances. Modern feminine perfumes containing myrrh include: Fidji® (Laroche), Givenchy III® (Givenchy), Alliage® (Estee Lauder), Ravissa® (Maurer & Wirtz), and LeSport® (St. Laurent)—which also contains Sandalwood (aloes), another Biblical oil.

Myrrh (commiphora myrrha) has one of the highest levels of sesquiterpenes, a class of compounds that has direct effects on the hypothalamus, pituitary and amygdala, the seat of our emotions. Research in Italy demonstrated that myrrh has pain-relieving properties as well, which is probably why it was administered to Jesus prior to his crucifixion.

Myrrh (Commipihora myrrha) has a rich, smoky, balsamic aroma that is purifying, restorative, revitalizing, and uplifting. It is a helpful aid to meditation, having one of the highest levels of sesquiterpenes available. Sesquiterpenes are a class of compounds that have a direct effect on the hypothalamus, pituitary, and amygdala, the seat of our emotions.  The Arabian people believed it helped wrinkled, chapped, and cracked skin. Today, myrrh is widely used in oral hygiene products.*

Source: Oleo-gum-resin from trunks and limbs of the tree.

Medical properties: Powerful antioxidant, anti-tumoral, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anti-parasitic, analgesic/anesthetic.

Applications: topically, orally

Myrrh oil is found in: Humility, White Angelica, Exodus II, 3 Wise Men, Abundance and Hope.

Uses of Myrrh:

  • Drop 2-3 drops on a dried log and allow time for oil to soak in before putting the the fire.
  • One drop of myrrh oil on your canker sores may help them to disappear.*
  • Rubbing 1-2 drops on your gum’s may help heal gingivitis.*
  • Mix 2 to 5 drops in water for a excellent mouthwash.*
  • Use 1ml oil in 15ml carrier oil for bronchitis and colds with thick phlegm.*
  • Mix 10 drops with 25ml of water, shake well and use externally on wounds.*
  • Putting 1 drop on a blemish may help it to go away.*
  • Myrrh is extremely effective at killing wound bacteria.*

Each mask listed below is designed for a specific skin type. Find the one that works best with your skin type and do a little pampering! A good mask usually isn’t needed more than once a week, but you can utilize certain formulations more as needed.

Although clay masks are thought to be drying, they contain great benefits for the skin and can be used very successfully in your beauty regimen.

Green clay has become the talk of the beauty world. The absorbent properties of green clay work in beauty treatments by drawing out impurities and toxins from the skin, toning and firming while stimulating circulation. Estheticians use it to tighten pores, exfoliate dead skin, and reveal a smoother, fresher complexion. Green clay is readily available online and at natural beauty retailers. It makes an ideal base for any of the masks below.

Green Clay Mask Base

Create your mask base by mixing green clay together with a little corn flour and a quarter teaspoon of powdered raw oats.

Tip: when mixing the ‘wet’ ingredients into the clay mixture you may want to add a couple drops of water or neroli or V-6 if the mixture needs more moisture to form a nice paste.

Note: The ‘corn flour” mentioned in this recipe can be made by putting a little cornmeal in an electric coffee grinder to make it into a fine powder. I have a Krups coffee grinder that its sole purpose is for making a powder out of dried herbs, nuts, oats, and other grains – you do not want to use the same grinder that you use for your coffee beans as the coffee flavor will get into your other ground foods.

Mask for Normal Skin with Geranium Essential Oil

For a normal skin, mix the clay, corn flour, and oats together with one beaten egg white. Add one drop geranium oil. Mix well to form a paste and apply.

Mask for Dry Skin with Chamomile Essential Oil

For a dry skin, mix the clay, corn flour, and oats together with one beaten egg white. Add one teaspoon wheat germ oil or evening primrose oil, plus one drop chamomile (Roman or German) oil and two drops carrot seed oil. Mix well to form a paste and apply.

Mask for Oily Skin with Lavender and Frankincense Essential Oils

For an oily skin, mix the clay, corn flour, and oats together with one beaten egg white. Add one drop lavender oil and one drop frankincense oil or juniper berry oil. Mix well to form a paste and apply.

Mask for Problem Skin with Lavender and Tea Tree Essential Oils

For a problem skin, mix the clay, corn flour, and oats together with one beaten egg white. Add one drop lavender oil, one drop tea tree oil. Mix well to form a paste and apply.

Rejuvenating Skin Mask with Frankincense and Myrrh Essential Oils

For a general skin boost, mix the clay, corn flour, and oats together with one beaten egg white. Add one teaspoon jojoba oil, one drop chamomile oil, one drop frankincense oil, and one drop myrrh oil. Mix well to form a paste and apply.

Before Application

Before applying the mask, make sure that the skin is cleansed properly and dried by patting it with a towel. A light exfoliating cleanser such as Young Living’s Satin Facial Scrub Mint will work well in prepping the skin for the best mask application.

After applying any of the masks, leave on for at least fifteen minutes and wash off with lukewarm water and pat the skin dry. Apply moisturizer. ART® Day or Night Activator is a good recommendation for effective and refining moisture with the benefits of frankincense.

Note: If you have never used essential oils or green clay and are prone to allergies, do a patch test on a small area to gage sensitivity before applying any of these masks.

"There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly." ~ R. Buckminster Fuller

I get joy by giving joy. One of the many ways to do this is to either give a gift certificate to a loved one to go and be pampered by getting a facial.  Or by giving them a facial with all of my wonderful Young Living products. And the ultimate is to give a gift of one of our many skin care products!!

Facials are a favorite on my pampering list. Well honestly I can be pampered, with massages, pedicures, manicures, or healing therapies, and any of these “pampering techniques” would be my favorite. However I don’t necessarily need to go to someone to get a facial, because I have great products that I use on a regular basis.

Here is a list of what I do for my facial:

  1. I start with Satin Facial Scrub Mint: Satin Facial ScrubTM Mint is an advanced cleansing formula designed for normal skin. It cleans, nourishes, and stimulates without damaging the skin’s natural pH balance. Safe, gentle ingredients help to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin for a fresher, smoother appearance. Contains MSM, antioxidant vitamins, and botanicals.*  skin-care
  2. Next I use all of the A.R.T. Skin Care Products: A·R·T® Skin Care System- Age Refining Technology – is a superior concept in skin restoration that combines the advanced technology of DNA recovery enzymes with a proprietary anti-aging Peptide Complex to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles, diminish age spots, even skin tone, and increase the elasticity and density of skin. Recognizing the incredible power of essential oils, Young Living added frankincense and sandalwood to this unique formula to reinforce DNA renewal. Add the legendary wolfberry seed oil, known for its superior moisturizing and skin conditioning properties, and you have the formula for a truly unique and effective skin care system*A·R·T Skin Care System includes Day Activator (30 ml), Night Reconstructor (30 ml), Gentle Foaming Cleanser (100 ml), and an instructional booklet.*

This pretty much covers what I do at home for a facial either for myself or my loved ones.

In between facials I either use the Day Activator and Night Reconstructor or our Boswellia Wrinkle Cream.

Boswellia Wrinkle Cream nourishes skin for a smoother, more youthful appearance. Its primary ingredient methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) supports collagen to improve skin firmness and minimize fine lines. Essential oils geranium, myrrh, sandalwood, and ylang ylang soothe and soften the skin, while frankincense and wolfberry oil enhance collagen formation.*

In the mornings I apply Wolfberry Eye Cream. This helps in alleviating puffiness and dark circles under my eyes.

Wolfberry Eye CreamTM may be applied morning and evening to ease the appearance of puffiness and dark circles around the eyes, and to promote skin tightening. Wolfberry Eye Cream is formulated from oil that is carefully extracted from the seeds of the Ningxia wolfberry. Rich in vitamin E and linoleic acids, wolfberry oil has unusual chemistry that makes it ideal for nourishing and hydrating skin. It is highly regarded by Asian women for its regenerative properties and its ability to protect aging skin and add luster to skin tone.*

I feel that my skin is softer and younger looking because of my use of Young Living skin care products on a regular basis.   It’s nice to know that I can pamper myself in the in between times, before I get out to have someone else pamper me. Friends even comment on how young looking my skin is and that compliment sure does make a girl feel good.

If you have any questions about our Skin Care Products, please contact me.
