Lavender Bath & Shower Gel Relax your body and rejuvenate your mind with a soothing bath of nature’s finest lavender essential oil in this bath & shower gel. All-natural ingredients work to refresh and condition your skin as you unwind from your busy day.

Lavender essential oil has been beloved and treasured for thousands of years as one of nature’s greatest gifts for healing. Recorded usage of lavender dates back to Biblical times where it was used for bathing as well as a key ingredient in many of the most effective remedies of that time.

Today, lavender essential oil is used in many skin care products, however, many companies dilute the oil, or use synthetically altered versions. The products in Young Living’s Lavender Signature Series contain only the finest Young Living Therapeutic Grade (YLTG) lavender essential oil, ensuring the maximum benefits of lavender oil are delivered.

The methods used to distill lavender essential oil thousands of years ago are the very same methods we use today to distill our superior quality essential oils.

Lavender for Emotional Wellness

University Miami researchers found that inhalation of lavender oil increased beta waves in the brain, suggesting heightened relaxation. It also reduced depression and improved cognitive performance (Diego et al., 1998).
A 2001 Osaka Kyoiku University study found that lavender reduced mental stress and increased alertness (Motomura et al., 2001).

How to Use Lavender Bath & Shower Gel

Pour directly into the water for a luxurious bubble bath, or drop a quarter-sized amount onto a bath sponge and lather. To continue your lavender experience, apply Young Living’s Lavender Body Lotion after your bath.

Essential Beauty Serum for Dry Skin

January 1, 2012 in Anti-Aging, Beauty, Best Essential Oils, Buy / Purchase, Common Questions, Home Spa, Natural, Shop, Skin Care, Spa / Wellness Products, Wrinkles, Young Living Distributor by Evelyn Vincent | No comments

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.
