I have an obsession with essential oils. I am currently writing while my diffuser pumps out a blend of Bergamot, Lemon and Eucalyptus. I will roll DoTerra Peace Touch on my feet before bed. I injest a vegetable caplet of Lavender, Lemon and Peppermint every morning for allergy relief. And I just washed my face, using toners, serums and oils! Those are the ones I want to talk about today. Yes, oil on your face. Yes, it’s good for you. Yes, it’ll make your skin look and feel amazing.
I currently have the best skin I’ve ever had in my entire life and I am a small amount of time away from 40. I have been using eye cream made with essential oils for about 5 months, which I have referenced before, and I just noticed THIS MORNING that I have virtually zero bags. For the first time E.V.E.R.
Body Unburdened has an awesome post all about the top 10 essential oils for the face. It’s a great read. And I highly recommend taking the time to check it out if you want to make your own recipes. It’ll help you with ingredient labels and know which oils will work best for your goal (fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes, age spots, oily or dry skin, etc).
But I want to share my favorite ready-made products you can just pick up and use. Make sure no matter what you select that it is made with pure, organic oils. No added perfumes. Just natural products. No muss. No fuss. Just amazing scents and great skin.
- DoTerra Verage Immortelle Hydrating Serum $86.66 – One drop is all it takes for my entire face and decollete. The geranium in here smells so flipping good. I have definitely referenced this product before. MY FAVORITES!!!
- Naturopathica Carrot Seed Soothing Facial Oil $58 – Beta carotene has amazing healing and rejuvinating properties. It also helps fight sun damage.
- Desert Essence Balancing Face Oil $17.99 – This guy manages to both help oily and dry areas by balancing the natural oils in the face. MY FAVORITES!!!
- Clovertree Apothecary Wonder Tonic $36 – This is my personal miracle oil. It truly does everything: heals scars, tightens skin, smoothes skin, eliminates eye wrinkles, balances skin’s natural oils. And you cannot beat the price. MY FAVORITES!!!
- pai Rosehip BioRegenerate Oil $40 – Suitable for all skin. Rich in Omegas. No irritation. No nuts. Helps repair and protect skin.
The biggest things you want to notice in your essential oils and products is that they are clean, natural and organic. No additives. No preservatives. No scents. No colors. No pesticides. Know what you’re using. Be wary. A lot of companies pretend by saying “natural scent.” It’s not natural if they had to add it in.
Now go out, my friends, and find the right one for you. I love this addition to my skincare routine. I have never been happier with the way my face looks and feels, and crazy enough, I’ve never been older either. Funny how that works.
Cheers,
Jana
