Many of you know that I joined Young Living Essential Oils a few months back. I can tell you, it’s been an excellent experience so far. I haven’t had ample time to switch over to natural products in EVERY (aspect) of my life. However, I’m not inclined to say that I will.

Just sayin…

In fact, I purchased a fall candle yesterday. What can I say?? I absolutely LOVE fall and I couldn’t help myself! lol Please don’t judge  me. <3

Anyway…

What I’ve learned and experienced so far has been quite the journey…A very good one, I may add!

I’m all about aging gracefully. You all know that I’ve tried a boat load of concealers, foundations, mascara, blushes, AND Especially Eye Shadows in various videos. Not all of them are anti-aging. Not all of them will make me look considerably younger.

Thinking back to much, much younger skin, I remember using Noxema. Let’s just say, I sure wish I had (just $1) for every jar I went through. I thought it was the fountain of my youth when I was 13.

LOL!

So, let’s talk about aging skin and the process of aging in general

 

As we age, there are all sorts of things taking place, unfortunately. As we get older, we are more prone to stress, our immune system weekends, our hair starts to gray, our skin starts to sag and wrinkle, our energy lessons, our brain function and sharpness start to decrease, our skin loses moisture, among many other things.

The aging skin on my face; including all the age spots that are beginning to show, AND WRINKLES has concerned me deeply. I already know that the big 60 is going to nag and torment me profusely.

The elasticity of the skin that we start to lose as we get older doesn’t seem to bother (some) ladies. However, I’ve witnessed more that ARE plagued with aging than those that are not.  ~~ Just sayin… lol

As I started trying and testing many anti-aging moisturizing creams and various makeup brands, I found essential oils to be a step in the right direction to slowing the signs of aging. One of the main reasons why they work is they have antioxidant properties that can help reduce, (and even prevent) considerable damage from sun, pollution, and other harsh materials.

In addition, there are many oils to help with illness and all kinds of health issues. Not to mention sharpening the mind.

So, let’s get into it!

But firstly…

6 Important reminder Facts/Tips To Start

If you eat right, consume lots of water, protect yourself from the sun, don’t smoke, and you don’t consume alcohol in vast amounts, you are 5 steps ahead of anti-aging right there! –>> Also, Getting into a good habit of a skin care regimen every morning and every night also considerably aids in the delay of aging skin.

 

BONUS TIP FOR SKIN CARE ~~ If you’re lazy on a particular day, make sure you take good care of your skin with a NIGHT TIME regimen at least; as the skin repairs itself during the night. 😉

Are you rubbing your head and asking yourself, “What Are Essential Oils?” And, “How Can They Help?”

There are those that have never heard of these oils. However, essential oils have been around for awhile. My intention with this post is to bring awareness to those that have not experienced the journey.

These bottles of oil are all natural and pressed out from plants, flowers, and trees. Young Living’s Oils are all derived from farms and are 100% pure. Most of the over-the-counter beauty products on the market today are chemical based, and consequently loaded with “stuff” that does more harm than good for your skin.

Gary Young; Late Co-Founder of Young Living wanted to offer beauty products that supplied nutrients…and yet, wouldn’t clog pores. Premature aging skin is so delicate. It benefits best from pure, natural, oils that Gary developed with advanced skincare formulas right in his own labs.

I’m currently using Young Living’s ART Gentle Cleanser and The Orange Blossom Moisturizer. Both products are excellent, anti-aging, and gentle enough to use morning and night, and on sensitive skin.  =)

And Finally…(My View) ~~ The Best Essential Oils For Aging Skin

From reading and researching, I strongly believe that Frankincense and Lavender are the two, top, and best essential oils for anti-aging. However, there are many others that are not far behind that I’ll be including below. I found 8 essential oils in total that were anti-aging and beneficial for mature skin.

PLEASE NOTE: These oils need to be used with carrier oils such as: jojoba, olive, pomegranate, and Young Living’s V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex. They are too potent to be used directly on the skin.

 

Frankincense ~ Rich, sweet, and inviting scented oil that improves skin elasticity, reinvigorates the skin, balances skin pH, improves tone, reduces the appearance of acne, sunspots, age spots, moles, stretch marks, fine lines/wrinkles. Also aids in the protection of skin cells from damage. Frankincense & Myrrh used for holy incense burned in Jerusalem, and a wise man’s cure.
