Beauty may only be skin deep, but caring for your skin starts with some of your body’s most basic functions. That’s why taking care of your skin is more than simply applying serums and creams. Keeping your skin its best also requires proper sun protection, plenty of sleep, and a healthy diet that includes a variety of vitamins and minerals.
A diet full of healthy, unprocessed food is an easy way to care for your skin at its structural level, but lots of Young Living supplements also contain ingredients that support healthy-looking skin. Check out a few noteworthy beauty boosters and some of our essential oil-infused favorites that include them!
Antioxidants
You’ve heard people buzzing about antioxidants and free radicals, but do you know what they are? Free radicals are reactive molecules that can cause cell damage, and exposure comes from daily living, including things like your body breaking down food, time in the sun, and pollution.
When it comes to neutralizing these molecules, antioxidants play an important role. Add these defenders to your diet by looking for richly colored fruits and veggies (think blueberries, blackberries, cherries, plums, kale, spinach, and beets) and nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin E, and CoQ10.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Think “healthy fat” is an oxymoron? Think again! Your body needs omega-3 fatty acids on a structural level since they are part of cell membranes and help with cell function. And your body can’t create these fats on its own—you can only get them directly from food. That makes a diet rich in omega-3s especially important. To up your intake, eat food like walnuts, leafy greens, flax seed, and fresh or canned fish.

Zinc
We’re not just talking about whiting out your nose to protect it from the sun’s rays. The trace mineral zinc is actually a little-known skin saver. That’s because your body’s cells, particularly skin cells, rely on this mineral to function. It helps support the skin, in addition to promoting balanced oil production. Add some zinc to your diet with lobster, crab, oysters, cashews, almonds, chicken, chickpeas, and other beans.

I saw Mary Young in the video she was in at the European convention and this video, was tight shots of her face and I saw just how beautiful her skin was and I am wondering what her regimen was, skin looks fabulous. I am wondering if this is the particular regimen that she uses? Which of our amazing skin care products does she use daily?
Hey Toni,
That’s a great question! We’re looking to do a post in the future where we delve into her daily use of Young Living products. Stay tuned till then!
That would be awesome!!
Did this ever happen?
It has not happened yet, but we are looking to add it to our upcoming quarter. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas on our blog!
longevity and omegaGize daily,cleansing with orange blossom, art toner and moisturiser
I either add Geranium & Lavender to my A.R.T Mousturiser OR I add Frankincense
We drink Ningxia Red twice daily with several YL Vitality oils like Frankincense, Lemon, Lavender, etc. added to it ~ just like at the Ningxia Bar at Convention! We also add a favorite like Cedarwood, Frankincense, Patchouli, or Elemi to sweet almond or coconut oil as a treat for our faces every morning and every night.
Dark chocolate known as sweet treat which is rich in cocoa flavanols and plant compounds helps in hydrating skin and improves the circulation of the blood.
Thank you!😍
Ningxia Red & Longevity are in my daily routine, but I also like to use Frankincense with Joboa oil on my face.
Julie do you mix this up as you use it or mix it up in a container and use it until its gone. How much frankincense to Joboa oil doe you use
thanks,
Connie
Will this help with age spots?
That’s literally exactly what I’ve been using in my life for about 13 months now. Its been such a game changer for me.
Side, I use Coconut oil and Young Livings V6 if I dont want that ‘greasy’ feeling. Amazing how well this stuff works
A good scrubbing twice a day is my most basic skin care regimen
I absolutely love using frankincense, lavender, tea tree and Manuka mixed with some carrier oil on my skin. I usually alternate between these oils!
