Skin is your largest organ.  It matters what you put on it.

Here are 3 recipes to replace some of your store bought, skin-care products.   By throwing out what you currently use and adding these recipes instead, you will reduce the toxic load in your body so your body systems can function how they were meant to.
Every recipe here contains Young Living Therapeutic grade Essential oils found in the Premium Starter Kit that you can order HERE.

This Premium Starter Kit comes with a Home Diffuser, 11 powerful essential oils, 2 samples of Ningxia Red (which is a nutritional supplement drink), and samples of the most common essential oils to give to family and friends or to keep for yourself. 

This is what the kit looks like, and this is a list of just a FEW things that each oil can do for your body systems.  This is the kit that I purchased when I first started using Young Living with my family, and it's how 9 out of 10 users get started.   It's over $300 worth of product for $150!  This kit also contains a membership to Young Living, which means you get to have 24% off of everything else you buy for life!

Chocolate Mint Lip Balm

What you need:
-2 Tablespoons coconut oil
-1 Tablespoon cocoa butter
-1 Tablespoon sweet almond oil
-2 Tablespoons beeswax
-25 drops of Young Living Peppermint oil
-12 lip balm tubes
-*a glass measuring cup with spout is super helpful but not necessary


Directions:
-Take the tops off all lip balm tubes. 
-Tie a rubberband around the tubes so they stand upright for better pouring.
(Get prepared to pour quickly as the beeswax begins to harden as soon as it is removed from the heat.)
-Melt all ingredients (EXCEPT peppermint oil) in a double boiler (glass bowl over pan of boiling/simmering water.  I use a glass measuring cup with a pour spout instead of a bowl)
-Remove from heat, and wait a few seconds
-Add peppermint oil and stir
-Pour evenly into lip balm tubes and wait a few minute to re-cap.

Deodorant
*without aluminum, parabens, chemicals or propylene glycol


Ingredients:
Baking soda
Arrowroot starch powder (amazon or local health food store)
Coconut oil
Young Living Tea Tree (Melaleuca Alternifolia) and Lavender

Directions:
Mix equal parts baking soda and arrowroot starch powder.
Melt coconut oil using double boiler method and add just enough of the coconut oil to liquefy the powders.
Add essential oils to your preference.  (If I ended up with a cup's worth of deodorant, I would add 10-20 drops of Young Living Essential Oil.)
Store in a glass container with lid.  (I tried buying empty deodorant containers, but these did not work with the consistency of the recipe.  It's best to just use an open container with a lid)


How to use:
Dip your fingers in and apply to your underarm.  Rinse/wipe the excess from your fingers.
