Let's talk about skin care!
What is it about turning 30 years old that gets us thinking about skin care? Once our twenties are gone, we apparently start trying to avoid the inevitable problem that gravity creates. HA!
My approach to skin care is not about looking great for a while but FEELING great for a while. Having that perspective is what keeps me choosing this method over and over again.
For my face I use a combination of young living oils to keep my skin looking vibrant, clear, and healthy. It is chemical free and uses what God has already given us on this earth!
What will I need?
One glass bottle with a dropper cap. I got my bottle (2oz) at Whole Foods but they can be found here online.
10 drops Lavender Young Living Essential Oil
20 Sacred Frankincense (or regular frankincense) Young Living Essential Oil
10 Peppermint Young Living Essential Oil (you can omit this ingredient if the sensation is too much for you)
Avocado oil (you can also use hemp seed oil) (any local grocery store carries this)
Once you put all of your essential oils inside your glass bottle, you then fill the rest with avocado oil. Make sure to mix it well before each use! After shaking my bottle, I squeeze out the solution until it reaches the size of a nickel in my hand and then apply it to my face and neck. This one bottle will last me MONTHS! I usually apply at night after washing my face.
What are the benefits?
Check out this blog: King of Oils. It's extremely helpful when learning about frankincense.
Do I exfoliate?
YES!!! I use this machine when washing my face! I love the exfoliating feature! Getting that dead skin off and stimulating new growth is important for keeping that youthful glow.
Hope this post got you thinking about how to take care of your skin in a healthy way! Our skin is so important! Be kind to it :)
