What is your favorite dōTERRA skin care product, and why? I use oils at home every day. I use the Veráge™ cleanser, toner, and moisturizer in the morning, and I use the Essential Skin Care Tightening Serum and Hydrating Cream at night. My favorite oil to use is Sandalwood. I use it for everything! I especially like to mix a few drops of Sandalwood into my Hydrating Cream at night, partly for the relaxing and grounding smell, and partly because I love how rejuvenated and healthy my skin looks when I use it. When my skin needs an extra pick-me-up, I use Juniper Berry. It works as a natural toner.

Use Sunscreen How much time you spend in the sun with no skin protection directly correlates with how quickly your skin ages. Sunscreen is a must! Exfoliate Exfoliation twice a week with a good scrub is great to help maintain a smooth texture on the skin surface and creates a youthful glow from within. The Reveal System is my favorite dōTERRA Skin Care Product! I like using the Reveal Facial system on weekends and Wednesdays (a good reminder for those of us with a busy schedule!) to remove any dead skin cells from the surface of the skin to create a smooth surface for make-up application. Make sure to follow up with a good moisturizer, or a body lotion. De-Stress Take care of your skin by eating healthy, drinking plenty of water, getting sleep, and taking time to destress! It can sometimes be difficult in our busy lives, but it’s very important to give yourself a “time out” and relax. Whether it’s something simple, like pausing your day for five minutes to practice meditation, or having a night in and taking a warm bath, or even taking a wellearned trip to the spa, do something to de-stress your life and your skin will thank you for it. If you are visiting dōTERRA corporate campus, don’t forget to stop by the Spa to get a relaxing massage, a facial, or an AromaTouch® Technique!
