How do you take care of your skin?

Mar 7, 2023 | Ditch & Switch, Essential Oils, Family, Skincare, Young Living

Our skin is our largest organ and it works hard to protect us from the outside world. We’re exposed to environmental toxins, the sun, poor diet, and much more on a daily basis that wreaks havoc on our skin. It deserves a lot of TLC but it’s often something we neglect more than nurture.

Thankfully, Young Living has some amazing skincare products that I absolutely love. And they have something for everyone. Whether you’re an acne-prone teen or dealing with more mature skin, YL has you covered. And the best part is these products are clean clean clean. I love not having to worry about what I’m putting on my skin (the largest organ of my body) and wondering if it’s going to be more harmful than helpful in the long run.

3 amazing skincare lines!

The following skincare products do NOT contain parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, synthetic preservatives, synthetic fragrances, or synthetic dyes/colorants.

● Balance

If you have:

-Normal to oily skin

-Enlarged pores

-Clogged pores

-Shiny T-zone

Struggle with:

-Breakouts

-Redness

Contains:

  • BALANCE Cleanser
  • BALANCE Dual-Phase Toner
  • BALANCE Mattifying Lotion

You can buy this line as a set or individually based on what you think you need. But of course, to receive the most benefit, I recommend using them together and consistently. This one is great for teens or the acne-prone among us! Learn more about the Balance skincare system here!

● Bloom

If you have:

-Normal to dry skin

-Discoloration

-Dehydration lines

Struggle with:

-Uneven skin tone

-Dull skin

This line is my personal favorite. All four products together combine to have a powerful effect on this skin. If I’m using them regularly, I notice a big difference. Learn more about the Bloom line here!

● ART

If you have:

-Normal to dry skin

-Lines

-Wrinkles

-Signs of aging

You can buy the ART cleanser, toner, and light moisturizer together or separately. And the renewal serum and intensive moisturizer are for if you need to give your skin a little more love. This line was designed for mature skin and is a beautiful way to nourish, hydrate, and help maintain a youthful appearance. Learn more about ART here!

Honorable Mentions

These products I’m about to mention are not part of any particular skincare line but my oh my are they good!! I’ve used all of these periodically in my skincare routine and it’s hard to pick a favorite!

CBD BEAUTY BOOST

THIS stuff!! I cannot get enough of this beauty boost. It makes my skin feel so soft and hydrated. I love adding it as a last step in my routine for extra nourishment. In the dry winter months, this is especially important. Great for all skin types.

CHARCOAL MASK

Another favorite!! I try to use this once or twice a week to clear out my pores and help with dull skin. It really does help make my skin look more radiant and glowy. Two things I always want for my skin.

MIRAH LUMINOUS CLEANSING OIL

An oil cleanser may seem to be counterproductive, especially if you have oily skin. But I can assure you, this is exactly what you need. It is an amazing first step to cleanse your skin of all the gross stuff that has accumulated throughout the day. Using an oil cleanser protects the epidermis from getting dry and flaky which contributes to acne and clogged pores. I love to use this as a first step in cleansing and then I’ll use my bloom or ART cleanser, depending on how my skin is looking and feeling.

SATIN FACIAL SCRUB – MINT

This cleanser helps to exfoliate your skin and keep it looking fresh. You only need to use it a few times per week to gently remove dry, dead skin cells. Plus it has peppermint that gives your skin a tingly, clean feel.

ACNE TREATMENT CREAM

This is a MUST for the unwanted blemishes that pop up unannounced. It won’t prevent your skin from breaking out but it will help your skin to heal way faster than it would on its own. I highly recommend this product to those who struggle with breakouts. But even if you don’t, it’s a nice one to have on hand for the occasional blemish that comes your way. You won’t regret having it! IMO it works way better than the popular pimple patches that are all the rage.

I’m genuinely so grateful to have these amazing products to choose from. As the weather changes throughout the year, I adjust my routine accordingly. But I can almost always find what I need from YL and I LOVE what they have to offer. Check out my skincare routine here.
