Away, away dry skin

Love your skin again!!

It is winter and those of us who have dry skin are fighting the cracks flaking and general misery. If you are one of the lucky ones who do not have this problem I salute and envy you. For the rest of us, dōTERRA has a few solutions.

The first is the dōTERRA SPA Exfoliating Body Scrub.


“The doTERRA SPA Exfoliating Body Scrub is a natural, indulgent body scrub that gently exfoliates and polishes skin with natural sugar cane, leaving a healthy, natural glow. Infused with CPTG® essential oils of Wild Orange, Grapefruit, and Ginger, this luxurious scrub provides a custom at-home spa experience that entices the senses, pampers the body, and warms the soul. Formulated with a rich blend of kukui, macadamia, and coconut oils, the doTERRA SPA Exfoliating Body Scrub not only removes dead skin cells through exfoliation, but replaces vital hydration to keep skin looking smooth and soft. “

I use this on my legs and arms, and it really does gently exfoliates the skin and leaves the skin with a smooth luxurious feeling. I love the smell it leaves after I rinse it off. The oil blend aroma of Wild Orange, Grapefruit, and Ginger is invigorating and warming.

The second recommendation is the dōTERRA SPA Replenishing Body Butter.

“Pamper your skin with the rich hydration and luxurious feel of the doTERRA SPA Replenishing Body Butter. The base of this natural formula combines shea and cocoa seed butters, known for their deep moisturization and ability to promote skin suppleness. Jojoba seed oil absorbs quickly into the skin and helps keep skin looking hydrated while avocado oil provides essential fatty acids to nourish and soften skin. CPTG® essential oils of Wild Orange, Douglas Fir, and Frankincense turn this indulgent formula into an intensely aromatic spa experience while providing purifying and rejuvenating benefits. “

This product contains coca seed butter, Shea butter, Jojoba seed oil, and Avocado oil along with the essential oils Wild Orange, Douglas Fir and Frankincense. This combination leaves the skin smooth, hydrated, balanced, and moisturized.

Since I have started using these products I no longer have flaky dry skin. My arms and legs are smooth and flake free. I feel pampered without the cost of an expensive spa treatment.

You can find both of these products at my business site.

Essential Oil Skin Care

Image

If you have  been researching how to fix and repair dry cracking skin, I have a natural inexpensive answer, and a simple recipe that really works.
I know personally this works, and works better than expensive costly creams.
I have always had dry skin, which was great when I was a teen.  Minimal acne.  However, now that I am older, not so great.
This past winter my fingers and feet cracked and bled.  I tried many things, and nothing helped.  I tried everything, I even consulted a doctor to see what might work .  The problem was, by the time I saw the doctor, I found something that really saved my poor skin. 

I was complaining bitterly to my grown daughter,  and she gave me a recipe to try.  I of course modified it, and I found that the combination really worked, not only on my fingers, but my poor sore feet.
Here is the recipe:

1/2 cup coconut oil, preferably 100% organic. ( the kind used for cooking)

a few drops of pure lavender oil

a few drops of dōTERRA Clear skin blend  (optional)

a few drops of Melaluca essential oil

A small glass jar with a lid ( a cleaned out face cream jar works well)

Place the coconut oil in the jar  without the lid, and place in a pan with water.  Heat the pan gently until the oil becomes liquid.
Add the oils listed, or oils of your choice.  Mix well and allow to cool.  Place the lid on the jar.

This mixture can be stored at room temperature and applied directly to the affected area.

I use only dōTERRA essential oils because I believe they are the best available.  If you use another company’s oils, just MAKE SURE they are unadulterated.  Many oils sold are cut with alcohol or things like mineral oil, and are labeled as pure.  They are not.
You can also buy fractionated coconut oil, but it is expensive and sometimes hard to find.

I even use this on my face, and it feels great!  One of my daughter’s in law uses Melaluca and coconut oil on her face  and her skin is very smooth.

So happy oiling!!!!
PS Another friend recommended adding Myrrh oil to the mixture. Myrrh is expensive, but very effective.
