Hello Keri! We would suggest that you pick something from the "All skin types" category. This will help your dry skin but not make your face to oily. You might want to try a few different combinations to see what works best for your skin! Let us know how it goes. Thank you for your question!
Any suggestions for DIY moisturizers for the different skin types?
Thank you for the great info
Thanks for sharing superb informations. Your site is very cool.
I am impressed by the details that you've on this blog.
It reveals how nicely you understand this subject. Bookmarked this website page, will come back for more articles.
You, my pal, ROCK! I found simply the info I already searched everywhere and just couldn't come across.
What an ideal web-site.
Would the V-6 work for skin cleansing?
Hi Diane, We have not tested the V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex for this purpose and would not be able to provide recommendations for using it. You are welcome to try it out. Let us know how it works!
Hi, I was wondering what carrier oil would you suggest for skin that breaks out a lot? Thank you.
I bought Jojoba Oil as a carrier oil for my skin. Mixing YL Tea Tree Oil with my Jojoba oil helps a lot. I started off with 1/4 cup of oil and mixed in the Tea Tree Oil to the strength I wanted (about 5 drops).
Where do you find any or all of these products? I have dry and mature skin.
I have dry mature skin as well Jo and these products are amazing! Let me know if you need assistance with your selection I would be glad to help.

I just tried this oil cleanse using avocado oil, Myrrh and Rose oils. I'm really loving the results. I don't feel greasy and I'm amazed how well it took off my makeup.
I'm trying to find a good combination of cleanser & moisturizer that works well when I apply makeup. I have super dry skin all over. We can't use almond oil or any oils with tree nuts in my house due to allergies. Any suggestions. I have rose ointment & a lot of the YL oils. Love them!
Hi Rachel, for more detailed information on products with allergen concerns, we recommend emailing our Product Support Team at productsupport@youngliving.com. Thanks, Rachel!
I love using the brown sugar scrub wily and all 3 of my oils daily
I use the orange blossom face wash and LOVE it, but I need to add something. I don't have blemishes or breakouts, but I have red spots on my face that I'd like to get rid of.
Hello Heather! I have found that Lemon Essential Oil, Jasmine, and Geranium, are all great for beautifying skin and evening tone. Be sure to check the usages when using certain oils on your face to avoid the sun if the oil is photosensitive. Also, here is another post that we did that may also help.
