Essential Oil Makeup Remover

Hey guys! So recently I was thinking of all the things I have changed in my life since I started using EOs. One thing that I am habitually horrible at is removing my makeup at night. It's is because either the remover I choose is so hopped up with chemicals that it makes my eyes all itchy and red or it doesn't have the bad chemicals and so I have to basically rub my eyes off my face to get the makeup all off. Well why not use oils for this as well? To find an efficient recipe, I reached out to my online YL family via fb. The following recipe is what I received and let me tell you it works wonders. It doesn't irritate my skin because it is all natural and it works in just a few quick wipes!

You will need the following
10 drops of Carrot Seed Oil
10 drops of Frankincense Oil
10 drops of Lavender Oil
Carrier Oil (I recommend Grapeseed )

Now the person who gave me this recipe put all of her ingredients in a small glass jar and stuffed a bunch of little make wipes in the jar to soak and then just used them as needed. I decided to instead just use one of my old empty oil bottles and just put a few drops on a cotton ball when using. This way your oils last longer. So I took my empty bottle and filled it about 3/4 of the way with Grapeseed oil. Next I added my 10 drops of the Carrot Seed, Frankincense, and Lavender oils. Maybe 4 to 5 on a cotton ball to get the job done as oil does spread out across your skin.

When using this recipe, You DEFINITELY want to make sure you are using a PURE therapeutic grade oil! I prefer Young Living because I did feel like they had the most cost efficient options for the best oils! DO NOT use oil brands like the ones found at stores like Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Many of these lower cost oils that are advertised for aromatherapy are not healthy for you because there other synthetics mixed into the oil to make it cheaper. They are not PURE and can cause your skin to have a reaction. Plus anything that's not 100% natural is not 100% healthy!

Young Living oils are great, but since they are pure, they can be costly (especially the Frankincense). However, if you become a member, You get a Kit which includes a diffuser and 11 oils (including Frankincense). If you were to buy a diffuser and these 11 oils it would be way more expensive than the kit, so it really is a fantastic deal. Plus, when you become a member, there are no strings attached and no monthly purchase minimum unless you decide to become an essential rewards member which is totally optional. You also get wholesale pricing on everything! If you are interested Learn More About Becoming a Member or if you have done your research Sign Up Here!

Lady Cramps

So I have come across a new recipe to help with the dreaded monthly "Lady Cramps"! What I like to do when mixing several oils together is to use a glass roller ball like THESE from Amazon. You want to always make sure to store your oils in glass as they can leech toxins out of plastic and that would kind of defeat their entire purpose of being natural and healthy.

For this recipe you will need...

1. Geranium Essential Oil
2. Cypress Essential Oil
3. Panaway Young Living Blend
4. Carrier Oil (Coconut, Grapeseed, or Jojoba oil) - I used Grapeseed

You will fill up your roller bottle about halfway with your chosen carrier oil. Next you will put several drops of the Geranium, Cypress, and Panaway into the bottle. Now for me I used 10 drops of each oil

When diluting your essential oils into a carrier oil, it's important to know your own skin. I put a little more in because I don't have sensitive skin. In fact, I have sometimes not even diluted them and have been just fine. If you do have sensitive skin, or aren't quite use to using essential oils, then I would only use about 5-7 drops of the above. Though I like to sometimes use oils without diluting, I still highly recommend it because it makes your oils last so much longer!

So once you have your mixture in your roller bottle, you are ready for use! I always like to label exactly what is in each roller bottle so I don't forget and can refill when needed. When you began to have cramps from your cycle, simply roll the bottle around on your lower abdomen and rub it in. Apply as needed. I don't usually get horrific cramps, so it really did make me feel better with just moderate cramping. The Panaway gives you a cooling sensation while the Geranium smells fantastic like fresh cut flowers!

If you are interested in purchasing these oils, you can do so right off the YL site, but I do recommend Becoming a Member if you plan on integrating oils into your life as it is MUCH more cost efficient!
