Sunflower | Sweet Almond | Apricot Kernel |
Tamanu | Grapeseed | Argan |
2. Add 1–3 drops of one or more of the essential oils listed below:

Sweet Almond, Argan & Avocado as a base oil(s)
Frankincense, Lavender, Geranium, Bergamot, & Rose
Love my Young Living Oils!
I like to use Lavendar, cedarwood, Tea Tree, and Frankincense oils for my skin care.
Could coconut oil be used?
Hi Anita! Yes, coconut oil is great for use as carrier oil, if you would like.
Great way to support our beautiful skin
A better question would be, which essential oil you will not be using on your skin.
I love them all so much, and it is good to switch and combine products/essential oils.
My favorite essential oils from the list above are Geranium, Frankincense and Myrrh.
Young LIving already has such great creams and lotions for the face and skin - I use them as well.
My favorite ones are Sensation and Essential Beauty Serum (dry). My son loves Lavender hand cream.
My favorite facial cleanse is a refreshing Orange Blossom.
I have many many other products, and love discovering new ones!
Love knowing it's 100% pure essential oils
I use Tea Tree, Lavender, Frankincense, Stress Away, Peace & Calming, Joy, and Cedarwood topically and love it! :)
Frankincense, daily!
I use the oils daily.
I just ordered Myrrh with my ER points so I'm going to try frankincense, lavender, and myrrh.
