# **SKIN TIPS WITH ESSENTIAL OILS
**

Satisfy your skin

Protecting your skin is a must when the sun’s blazing. Along with making sure to include sunscreen in your skin care routine, face the summer with a healthy, glowing look!

After-hours exfoliation with Lemon*: Protect your skin from sun damage with a DIY nighttime exfoliant. Mix 1 tablespoon jojoba oil with 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, and 4 drops Lemon essential oil. Gently apply the scrub to your face and massage in a circular motion for about 1 minute. Rinse and then moisturize.

Hydrating face mask with Helichrysum: Glow alongside the sun with a glistening complexion! Mix ¼ cup aloe vera gel, 1 tablespoon coconut oil, and 3 drops Helichrysum essential oil. Apply to your face and wear for at least 10 minutes to get maximum moisture. Rinse and shine!

Body balm with Geranium and Grapefruit*: Sun exposure can cause damage to your skin even if you avoid sunburn. Add 3 drops each of Geranium and Grapefruit to your favorite body butter and apply to your skin for a healthy dose of hydration.

Dewy skin care with Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood™ and Orange*: Banish dry skin with a super-hydrating skin care routine. Add Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood essential oil to your face wash and moisturizer and Orange to your night cream to get in on a natural glow.

Stellar-smelling sunscreen with Carrot Seed: Give sun protection a sensational scent by adding 2-3 drops of Carrot Seed essential oil to your sunscreen.
# # **FRANKINCENSE OIL
**

**What is frankincense oil** good for? For starters, it’s often used to reduce the appearance of sunspots and age spots. If you have uneven color on your skin, some whiteness in some areas, any spottiness or splotchiness, frankincense oil is the No. 1 ingredient that can help even out skin tone and help get rid of sunspots and age spots.

Frankincense essential oil is a powerful astringent that can be used to help **reduce acne** blemishes, the appearance of large pores and wrinkles. Frankincense is also one of the best essential oils for skin tightening. The oil can be used anywhere where the skin becomes saggy, such as the abdomen, jowls or under the eyes. Mix six drops of oil to one ounce of an unscented oil like jojoba oil and apply it directly to the skin.
# # **LAVENDER OIL
**

Looking for more essential oils for wrinkles around mouth or anywhere else on the body? I definitely can’t leave **lavender essential oil** off this list. It’s probably the No. 1 oil that helps heal skin conditions, burns and cuts, but it’s also great for fighting signs of aging, too!

You need antioxidants to successfully **fight free radical damage**, which includes signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines. According to research, lavender essential oil helps your body produce three of your bodies most powerful antioxidants, glutathione, catalase and superoxide dismutase. (8)

With its known antimicrobial and antioxidant characteristics, lavender essential mixed with **benefit-rich aloe vera** or coconut oil can have profound positive effects on the skin. (9) Combing 10 drops of lavender oil with one ounce of aloe vera or coconut oil can help soothe the worst sunburn and bring rapid healing to dry skin, minor cuts and scraps.

Want to reduce age spots? Try mixing lavender oil with frankincense essential oil and put it on those spots right before bed.
# # **COPAIBA OIL
**

Copaiba is another versatile essential oil that can be added to your body care routine. Garro explains it's a very gentle oil with a light scent, making it a good fit for an everyday cream. "It is so soothing to the skin," Garro said. "It is high in beta-caryophyllene which has been studied for its affects on skin." She recommends mixing copaiba with your favorite body lotion to try it for yourself.
# # **ROMAN CHAMOMILE OIL
**

If you're prone to dry or dehydrated skin, Garro recommends using diluted chamomile essential oil to help revitalize and hydrate your skin. Chamomile is also excellent in an essential oil blend: Garro often mixes chamomile with lavender and cedarwood oils diluted with a jojoba or coconut oil for people with particularly sensitive skin or for use on children.

Sharing from another:
🔥 Aphrodisiac Oils for HIM- Idaho Blue Spruce
Mr. Libido has an oil that he really likes. It's called Idaho Blue Spruce. And it really does "SPRUCE" him up, if you know what I mean. It helps him stay firmer longer so I can enjoy myself longer as well. It's nature's way of that little blue hexagon, if you will.. This Sprucing oil is like a military call to STAND at ATTENTION! It can be used with coconut oil as a lubricant and has a nice cooling affect for me too. It is just one oil of many that we like to use, to make intimacy last longer.
Idaho Blue Spruce works by supporting natural testosterone in your Mr. There has been research groups that have found that using 5 drops of Idaho Blue Spruce daily supports testosterone significantly in men. Some of my friends have even reported that with regular ingestion... their man has seen actual strengthening in their little soldier. The things I talk about with my girlfriends! 😉

Here's the nice thing about it... your man isn't left with any “unmanageable salutes”, as my dear husband would say. It doesn't work by Forcing things, rather by helping things to work as they ought. We've had a lot of women thank me for this information.

When on occasion Idaho Blue Spruce is out of stock, you can use Northern Lights Black Spruce for a similar aroma, however we have not done research to see if NLBS compliments testosterone in the same way. However, Shutran is FULL of Idaho Blue Spruce, so you can use Shutran in place of IBS in any recipes.

Results will vary - but I will tell you that I have passed this little secret along to a LOT off BFF's who have called me up after the weekend to say:

"Whoa. Lucy! You were RIIIIIIGHT. Thank you."
So, I'll just say it now...
You're welcome.

Check out the ingredients

It’s that time of year. Dry skin. I was sharing yesterday this is my favorite go-to this time of year! Hands, feet especially those heels and everything in between. It’s a huge jar so it lasts forever.

Many people who love the rose ointment will also grab a jar of this one if it goes out of stock.

Have you tried it before and if so what do you think?

👉👉 The Importance of Vitamin B-Complex **

It’s absolutely critical that our bodies receive adequate levels of all 8 different forms of Vitamin B on a daily basis. Known as the B-complex, these 8 vitamins activate critical enzymes in our cells that both break down and build the molecules that are essential for life. Without these vitamins, our cells will fail to grow, divide, and differentiate, and the metabolic processes that provide us with a constant source of energy and vitality come to a screeching halt. Our red blood cells will not replenish, and our immune system will be impaired. Our DNA will fail to repair itself properly, and our stem cells will find it difficult to replace aging tissue.

Deficiency in the complex of B Vitamins can result in fatigue, neuropathy, irregular heartbeat, edema (swelling), confusion, short term memory loss, difficulty concentrating, dizziness, skin disorders, hair loss, sore throat, anemia, cataracts, reproductive problems, gastrointestinal issues, depression, headache, shortness of breath, and an array of neurological problems.

Our body cannot synthesize these 8 molecules, and they are not stored in our body for long periods of time (except for B9 and B12)- therefore, it’s imperative that we proactively replenish Vitamin B’s through our diet and through supplementation.

Vitamin B’s are normally inactivated by heating, microwaving, and food processing. Also, food preservatives such as sulfites can inactivate certain B Vitamins. Because of this, many Americans are not receiving adequate levels of B vitamins. Also, other factors such as genetic variation, microbiome health, and liver health, can affect the proper absorption and processing of B Vitamins.

For these reasons, it’s important that we take a Vitamin B complex supplement on a daily basis to ensure that we are not deficient in any of the 8 B Vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12).

Young Living’s Super B tablets are an optimized source for the entire spectrum of B vitamins. This supplement features a naturally sourced folate (Vitamin B9) from lemon peels, and methylcobalamin, a more bioavailable source of B12. In addition, Super B is formulated with bioavailable chelated forms of crucial minerals (calcium, magnesium, zinc, selenium, and manganese), and Nutmeg essential oil, which improves absorption and bioavailability. This one supplement is optimized to provide you with your daily need for Vitamin B.

👉👉 MTHFR mutations present other complications that should be dealt with specifically. If you would like to learn more, I go more into the science and health impact of the B-Vitamins and how to deal with MTHFR in my series: “The Vitamin and Mineral Code”. In this series, I have a separate module on MTHFR.

Best Regards,
Dr. Doug

Do you know where your oils originate from??

Stealing this from someone else but.... feel free to spread the word! Knowledge is power ❤️✊

No different than knowing where our meat/food comes from. We have 6 diffusers in our home that are going 24/7. 💕 We also use oils topically - it's so important to know what my family's putting in their body whether its from breathing it or applying topically. I found this very informative so I thought I'd share. 🙌

“The results are in. A friend called 15 essential oil companies and asked if she could tour their farms to see how the essential oils are made.

Here is a list of the company, phone number, and answer.

1. NOW essential oils: 888-669-3663, they do not grow their own plants, nor do they have exact information on where they come from. This either means that their oils are made in a lab or they buy plants from random farms.

2. Piping Rock Essential Oils: 1-800-544-1925, the representative told me no. She did not give me any explanation.

3. Aura Cacia essential oils: 1-844-550-7200, the rep said that they do not “grow their own essential oils.” She would not give me the names or numbers of the farms where they buy the plants.

4. AnimalEO: 320-286-3277, the mailbox was full. 😂

5. Mountain Rose Herbs essential oils: 800-879-3337. The rep said I cannot see the farms because their plants are sourced. She would not give me the name or numbers of the farms so I could ask them.

6. Edens Garden essential oils: 949-388-1999, the website said to not take the oils internally (Young Living Vitality oils are FDA regulated to take internally). The rep said that she had never received a question like that before and asked to place me on hold. She returned to tell me that they do not own any of their own farms and that I cannot make calls to those farms.

7. OnePure essential oils: only available by email. They did not respond to my message.

8. Healing Solutions essential oils: 1-800-819-4098, the rep had to place me on hold. He returned to say that I cannot see the farms. He said that the company is not equipped for face-to-face consultations.

9. Gurunanda essential oils: 866-421-0309, the rep told me that they source their oils and that I cannot see the farms.

10. Plant Therapy essential oils: 800-917-6577, the rep told me that they do not own their own farms and I would not be able to take a tour to see the plants or oils be made.

11. Rocky Mountain essential oils: 1-866-493-8159, the rep said that they do not own their own farms. I quoted, “We do not have any direct correlation with the farms, so it would be impossible for us to set anything up.”

12. doTERRA essential oils: 1-800-411-8151, the rep had to place me on hold to find the answer. He said they don’t own their farms, but I could tour their US partner farm by appointment only. These guided tours are offered Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 10:30, 12:30, and 2:30. I told him that did not work with my schedule, and he was not sure how to respond.

13. Jade Bloom essential oils: 1-844-787-3645, after listening to a long message, they do not take phone calls. I emailed and asked to see the farms. They have not returned my email.

14. Melaleuca essential oils: 208-522-0700 the rep said that there are no farms to tour. The rep then said she doesn’t know where the oils came from and cannot give any other information.

15. Young Living Essential Oils: 1-800-371-3515, I called and pretended to be someone who is interested in the oils but not yet a member. I was told I could absolutely visit the farms, and was directed to the Visitor’s Center (1-800-371-0819). I was told that I do not need a tour guide or anyone with me while I tour the farms, although guided tours are available if I’d prefer that. The farms are open M-F 8am-6pm, Saturday 9-5, and closed on Sunday. She said I can also tour the distilleries where the plants are made into oils. These options are available for all 16 of the farms they own worldwide, as well as any of their partner farms.

I feel like these results speak for themselves. I was very emotional after making all of these phone calls and getting answers.

Why do some companies not know where their farms are?
Why wouldn’t they give me a phone number?
Why do some companies not have anything to do with how their plants are grown?
Why was I given an answer of “no?”
Why can’t I ingest something that I made from plants?
Why do some oil companies make their oils in labs and not from plants?
Why can I only visit a farm WITH a tour guide? Why can’t I go by myself?
Why did every company claims to “set the standard” and have the “highest quality oils available,” but they had no part in farming the plants?
Why don’t the employees know where or how the product is made?
How can you sell something to someone knowing they are going to put it on themselves/their kids and not know anything about it?

This is proof that Young Living is the best. If you don’t believe me, feel free to call the numbers.

**or better yet Feel free to stop in an visit next time you are near one of their farms!”
