Skin Care

Before I discovered doTERRA I was experimenting with making my own natural skin care products. I would pulverize oatmeal, mix it with baking soda and honey for a face wash/scrub and use solid coconut oil for a moisturizer. I liked the feeling much better than the drug store washes I was accustomed to and liked that it was much cheaper than using one of the professional lines out there that I am sure gave good results but were not toxic-free. I wasn’t about to spend a ton of money on something not good for me.

Once I discovered essential oils and that doTERRA had skin care products, I was curious to try them but hesitant because I was enjoying my creations. Well, as you can see by the list above, I fell in love with the results. I can’t say for sure that they are working wonders because I use them so consistently and obviously don’t know what my skin would look like otherwise. But when I do have some unwanted spots show up on my face, they clear up by the next day and it seems like my wrinkles have definitely slowed progression. The fact that most people are surprised by my age, I love the way my skin feels and there is a ton of research and chemistry to support their claims is testament enough for me to know I found the best skin care available and have no desire to continue to make my own or try anything else. When I feel like I want to switch things up a bit I just choose another oil with similar properties and alternate between their different lines.

** I need to mention that since I created this list doTERRA has come out with two new Yarrow Pom products that I have added to my routine, Cellular Beauty Complex Capsules which I have just started so it’s too early to notice a difference and the Body Renewal Serum, which I use on my stomach, thighs and booty and absolutely LOVE it!!!
