DIY: Sunburn Relief with Essential Oils

Jul 30th, 2013 | Category: Young Living Product Blog

During the hot summer months, the best way to protect your skin from sunburn is by applying sunscreen. (See our recent do-it-yourself blog post on how to create your own natural sunscreen with essential oils.) Sometimes, however, sunburns happen. Young Living offers many products to help relieve sunburn*, including LavaDerm™ Cooling Mist.

LavaDerm’s pure and carefully chosen ingredients—aloe, lavender, spikenard, and trace minerals—work in concert to reduce the uncomfortable symptoms of a sunburn. By having LavaDerm readily available, you can just point and spray to get sunburn relief* as quickly as possible.

You can also try using one of the following Young Living essential oils and do-it-yourself recipes for sunburn relief:

Lavender

Frankincense or Sacred Frankincense

Helichrysum

Rose

Melaleuca Alternifolia

Roman Chamomile

Without question, lavender is the best essential oil for sunburn relief*. If you are really sore, it is paramount that you get the heat out of the skin. Here is a simple and effective solution:

Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Fill a sink or bath with cool water.
  2. Add ice cubes to the water if you are able to tolerate the temperature.
  3. Add 1 cup of white or apple cider vinegar.
  4. Immerse yourself for at least 10 minutes.
  5. Gently pat your skin dry.
  6. Apply undiluted Lavender essential over the burned area.
  7. Once the oil is absorbed in the skin, apply Young Living’s Lavender Hand Body Lotion .

Cautions:

  1. Don’t apply too much Lavender essential oil. Simply cover the burned area.
  2. Do not bathe with bubbles or use soap. This can dry out and irritate the skin.
  3. Avoid actions that will worsen your symptoms, such as rubbing your skin dry with a towel.

Sunburn Relief for Children

Although parents typically protect their children from sunburns, many children do suffer from heat rash.

You can prevent heat rash by keeping your child’s skin dry and cool. It is also helpful to dress children in light clothing made from breathable fabric. When possible, expose your child’s skin to air. If you are unable to prevent heat rash, here is a do-it-yourself relief recipe for all ages:

Heat Rash Relief

Ingredients:

Children Ages 0-2

  • ¼ cup baking soda
  • 2 drops Lavender essential oil

Children Ages 3–7

  • ½ cup baking soda
  • 2 drops Lavender essential oil

Children Ages 8–10

  • ½ cup baking soda
  • 4 drops Lavender essential oil

Children Ages 11–18

  • 1 cup baking soda
  • 4 drops Lavender essential oil

Directions:

  1. Mix Lavender essential oil and baking soda together.
  2. Add mixture to a warm bath.
  3. If bathing a baby, make sure that the water reaches the folds of the skin.
  4. Once out of the bath, dry skin thoroughly and take care that your child’s folds of skin are kept dry.

 

Here are some practical tips on how to  soothe the effects of specific types of sunburns with essential oils:

 

Finally, here are a few more sensible tips for you to think about:

  • UV rays penetrate windows. Use care when sitting in direct sunlight for extended periods of time, especially with a baby.
  • If your legs and feet are swollen, elevate them above your heart.
  • If soreness is preventing a good night’s sleep, try sleeping on an air mattress.
  • Take extra sun precautions when the sun is at its strongest (from 10 a.m.–3 p.m. or 11 a.m.–4 p.m. for those states participating in Daylight Savings Time).

We hope these recipes and tips help you safely navigate through the summer months. As always, we invite you to share your ideas or recipes in the comments.

Recipe: Essential Waters

Jul 25th, 2013 | Category: Young Living Product Blog

By Guest Blogger Tara Rayburn, YL Executive

I live in the desert, and this time of year I am always looking for new and interesting ways to entice my kids and their friends to drink water. It can be challenging with the neighborhood kids to compete with their sugar-laden, artificially colored sport drinks and blood-sugar-spiking fruit juices.

To provide healthful beverages, I love creating Essential Waters with Young Living essential oils, herbs, and fresh produce. Essential Waters are also a great way to share essential oils with others. Combining essential oils and fresh produce is pleasing to the senses and creates positive associations with wholesome food.

Ingredients:

  • Glass container for storing and pouring
  • Stainless steel spoon for stirring
  • Young Living essential oils (Always follow individual label instructions before using any essential oil. See “Recommended Essential Water Creations” below for more information.)
  • Organic, non-GMO, farm-fresh produce (cucumber, basil, lemons, limes, berries, etc.)

Directions:

Add a few drops of essential oil to your chilled, farm-fresh produce and place it inside your glass container. Add spring or filtered water. Be sure to shake or stir mixture before serving.

Tips and Tricks:

  • Use only glass containers and stainless steel spoons. Clear glass is best for the visual beauty of the beverage. I like to use canning jars or clear water pitchers.
  • Make ice cubes with edible flowers or mint leaves infused with essential oils, and then add the cubes to the water. I like to use a small spray bottle to disperse essential oils over the flowers or herbs first. You can use the mist spray for the fresh produce, too.

 

  • When using essential oils in water, I like to follow the “less is more” rule. One drop is usually plenty for quart- to half-gallon-size containers.
  • I like to make an ingredient label for the Essential Waters so people know what they taste. I’ll usually write something like “Essential Water: Lemon/Tangerine.”
  • Adding an essential oil to the same produce choice or similar adds extra flavor and aroma. For example, add lemon, lime, or orange essential oil to lemon, lime, or orange slices.
  • Herbs such as elderberries or hibiscus can add great natural coloring to your Essential Waters.

Recommended Essential Water Creations:

  • Lemon/Cucumber with 1 drop of Young Living Spearmint essential oil added to spearmint leaves or on lemon wedges; feel free to add lemon essential oil, too
  • Orange/Cucumber with Citrus Fresh™ essential oil blend-infused orange wedges
  • Lemon/Basil with Young Living Peppermint essential oil drop on lemon wedges
  • Edible flower and essential oil ice cubes added to spring water

DIY: Natural Sunscreen with Essential Oils

Jul 23rd, 2013 | Category: Young Living Product Blog

Nothing can put a damper on summer fun like an uncomfortable sunburn. So why, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, do 42 percent of us still get burned at least once a year? Although a variety of reasons and excuses come to mind, it is safe to say that the proper use of sunscreen would dramatically reduce the number of sunburns. However, choosing the right sunscreen and then using it correctly can be intimidating. Questionable ingredients and numerous brands further complicate our choice.

As part of the Young Living family, we do not need to worry about triggering unwanted illnesses from overexposure to the sun or controversial ingredients. Instead, we have 100% pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils and all-natural ingredients as solutions. These give us the ability to create a custom “formula” that we can individualize for our skin.

Following are suggested ratios for customizing a do-it-yourself sunscreen with Young Living essential oils. Remember that the ingredient ratios will depend on your skin. As you tweak your formula, always test it on an area to check for any reaction.

  1. Begin by using ½ cup of Young Living’s V-6 Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex.
  2. Add a combination of myrrh (4–5 drops), carrot seed (4–5 drops), and lavender (20 drops) essential oils.
  3. Blend well and store in a dark-colored bottle.
  4. To use: Liberally apply sunscreen over exposed areas.
  5. Remember to reapply every couple of hours throughout the day, especially when participating in water activities.

When out in the sun for any amount of time, remember to avoid citrus essential oils that are photosensitive and can create discoloration of your skin. In addition, do not forget your lips. Keep Lavender Lip Balm, or any of the other Young Living lip balms, handy to keep your lips supple and moist. Be sure to also keep LavaDerm Cooling Mist on hand in case you do get burned.

For those willing to share a sunscreen recipe or tip, we will randomly select 30 commenters to receive a free Lavender Lip Balm.

—Gloria Russo, YL Product Marketing Manager

 

  • Nothing but unfiltered, organic coconut oil. Apply when skin is damp 3

  • I use avocado oil and lavender for sunscreen and it works wonderfully! 4 oz avocado oil and 40 drops YL lavender oil

  • Thanks for the sunscreen formula! We always use Lavender Oil to care for
    any burns we get… sunburn or flash burns. It is wonderful to have a
    way to prevent them now!

  • I am a redhead…does this formula work as good on fair skin? What would I add more of?

    • Carrot Seed oil is a natural SPF of I think 30 or 45 so you could add more of that. For my very fair kids, I use 10 drops Carrot Seed and 10 drops Lavender.

  • I heard about we can make sunscreen with Essential Oils, but I did’t know how to do it.
    That’s what I want and I need! I will make it and share with my family and friends. Thank you, Young Living!!

  • Thank you, this is wonderful! cocoa butter, olive oil and YL Lavender is what I use sometimes. XO

  • I use coconut oil with lavender and frankincense. I will try adding carrot oil!

  • My husband works outside most of the time… he also is bald. He uses a blend of V-6, coconut oil and lavender to help protect his scalp. I’m excited to add the Myrrh and Carrot Seed to his mixture! Thanks!

  • Im going to try this today!

  • Thanks for the recipe!! LOVE the ways we can use our oils in all aspects of our lives! This is also great info to share w/others who need encouragement in their many uses in their daily lives!

  • Love it ! Especially for small children !

  • Honestly I do appreciate this information, but you need considerations for our eyes. Please put common sense to use and not have a blog so difficult to read in that colored font. No one does this, it’s very hard on our eyes. Please don’t make me strain my eyes to read your blog. Thank you.

    • Thank you for mentioning about the color of the font. I have also written to Customer Service about the color of font because some of my older customers were letting me know they could no longer read the YL website and blog posts I was sharing with them. Please consider writing to corporate about your concerns too… Its such a beautiful site and I would hope YL would want Everyone to be able to see and read it! 3

  • I have made sunscreen using coconut oil, carrot seed, myrrh, and lavender. It has held up wonderfully to my kids playing in the sprinkler in the middle of the afternoon! Reapplication only every hour or so. Granted we live a bit farther north, but I’ve been thrilled with it!

  • Thanks for the recipe. I worry about the chemicals used and our small children. They have enough to grow up with that they can’t control so thank you again.

  • Definitely going to try this!!

  • Could you put the oils in coconut oil?

  • Coconut oil with lavender and frankincense works for us! @maryhughett:disqus , i am of Hispanic decent and have thicker skin, my husband is Caucasian and has very fair skin. Every year since we met(8 yrs) we go to the 4th of July parade, which is a water parade. He bathes in sunscreen and yet still burns really bad every year. This year he applied the oil once in the morning, and then once after swimming in the afternoon, NO BURN! No peeling! Just a nice tan. My whole family “oils up” in the morning and that’s enough to protect them the whole day. Not one of us has burned all summer!!! We use the same recipe for our lotion, and my daughters eczema so we only have to use one product for many reasons. We reapply as needed depending on the activity for the day. I am getting carrot oil this month to enhance the spf. Try it, You’ll love it!!!! Make sure your coconut oil is 100% organic,

  • I love using the recommended oils in the Genesis Hand and Body lotion as a base. Ratios I use are 1 x 5 ml bottle of Carrot Seed oil to 1 bottle of Genesis. Can also add 40-80 drops of Myrrh oil to increase SPF factor. The Genesis lotion gives a “suntan lotion” experience, and the additional ingredients make it more powerful than V6, especially the MSM component. Cost is a bit more than a V6 base but well worth it for the extra benefits.

    • have you ever tried putting lavender in it as well? Love these ideas!! Thank you

  • Here is a graphic

  • I add 5 drops Myrrh,5 drops carrot seed and 10 drops Lavender oil to a bottle of Lava Derm that’s still about 1/3 full and then fill it up with V6 oil.Shake well before each use.And for my lips, Lavender lip balm.

  • This is a great recipe!! This really works We have also used the Myrrh, neat, on occasion for sun screen. And, for the times we did not use a sunscreen…. lavender and myrrh are great to soothe and heal the burn

  • I like to use myrrh and lavender! And sometimes using coconut oil if I am out of v6. Thanks for the tips! Love the blogs!

  • I added the carrot seed to claraderm. The V6 would be much cheaper and I could make more of it.

  • I’ve been using a blend of organic coconut oil with Lavender and Frankincense. It is wonderful for our skin whether in the sun or not. However, I’m happy to say I have not burned or had dry peeling skin at all this summer. Thank you YL. . .love our oils!

  • Totally natural and with no worries about what it contains. Thanks for sharing!

  • Coconut oil is supposed to have some sun protective properties too.

Slique Bars: Slimming and Satisfying

Jul 18th, 2013 | Category: Young Living Product Blog

As Young Living’s Slique™ line evolved, it became increasingly apparent that it needed an important component: a healthful snack full of “good” calories. With this goal in mind, we went to work creating an innovative product that supplied much-needed calories along with other health benefits. The resulting Slique Bars were recently unveiled at our International Grand Convention to rave reviews. Attendees were able to sample the bars, receive trainings, and have their questions about this delicious new product answered.

Here are some frequently asked questions regarding the new Slique Bars:


What are the special ingredients in Slique Bars?

Slique Bars contain many nutritious ingredients, including baru nuts, goldenberries, wolfberries, potato skin extract, cacao nibs, and essential oils (vanilla, orange, and cinnamon bark).


What are baru nuts and goldenberries?

Baru nuts are nutrient-dense nuts sourced with great difficulty from remote areas in Brazil. Goldenberries are delicious, tart berries sourced from Amazon regions of South America.


What makes cacao nibs a special ingredient?

The cacao nibs in Slique Bars are created using a proprietary low-heat dehydration process developed by D. Gary Young. This process assures that more of the cacao’s beneficial flavonoids and amino acids are retained.


How do Slique Bars help me lose weight?

Slique Bars use a dual-target approach to help manage satiety. First, Slique Bars’ unique combination of proteins, fats, calories, and high fiber (contains 8 grams of total fat per serving) promote satiation. Second, Slique Bars contain clinical amounts of potato skin extract that may increase the duration of feelings of fullness.


Are Slique Bars gluten free?

Yes, Slique Bars are gluten free!


How many calories are in Slique Bars?

Slique Bars contain 140 calories per 35 gram bar, making them a perfect snack the whole family can enjoy.

 

The final question I will answer is, “When can I get my hands on this amazing product?” Slique Bars are currently being produced and should be available for order by the end of this month. In the meantime, I would like to offer a box (six bars) to one lucky individual who leaves a comment on this post by July 22!

—Ryan Seely, YL Product Marketing Manager

  • I am really looking forward to being able to order these bars. I have heard that they are really delicious! Thank you Young Living for this great addition to our Slique products.

Believe In Yourself; Believe In Young Living

Jul 8th, 2013 | Category: Young Living Product Blog

If you missed this year’s International Grand Convention, you missed out on the unveiling of some exciting products! Among these products was the convention oil blend that has been reformulated for a more optimized effect: Believe™.

The new Believe blend has been updated to add a special touch of Young Living exclusivity and efficacy by adding oils that are grown, harvested, and distilled on Young Living farms. Because of the cultivation, experience, and care of our Seed to Seal® process practiced on these farms, the purity of these oils remains unaltered.

Also with the new formula, Gary Young wanted to include the benefits of Idaho blue spruce and Ecuadorian ylang ylang (one of the convention Exotic Oils, but we’ll touch on that in another blog). With the addition of these two oils and with the current Idaho balsam fir found in the blend, the reformulated Believe now has three oils that are harvested on the Young Living farms in Idaho and Ecuador.

Created to help you overcome occasional feelings of despair and move to a higher level of awareness, Believe also contains frankincense essential oil to encourage feelings of strength and faith. With the other complementary oils that round out this blend—bergamot, coriander, and geranium—this combination of oils may help assist you as you look to unlock your true, unlimited potential.*

You may use Believe in many ways. Whether you diffuse a little before a big date or rub some behind your ears to get you through a job interview, Believe will get you in the right frame of mind to believe in yourself.

Take this time to share what you are looking forward to most when using the newly reformulated Believe. Three lucky commenters will be randomly selected to receive a bottle of this inspiring blend!

  • As the old song goes, “Believe it or not, I’m walking on air/ I never thought I could feel so free… .” I am looking forward to feeling free from all sorts of limitations and stepping into my power as a writer, coach, public speaker, and YL Rising Star with the help of Believe essential oil blend from Young Living. Thanks, Young Living, for all you do!

  • Believe has always been one of my favorite oil blends. I am excited to try the new formulation. For anything to happen you gotta believe! I love Young Living!

  • Was able to sample this amazing oil at a post-convention meeting. It smells wonderful. But it isn’t about how the oils smell so much as what they do for us. I will be adding this to my next order as I have always had a problem believing in myself.

  • Believe is one of my favorite oil blends to use with EFT. I can’t wait to get the new formula.

  • I’d love to have a YL sample pack! I’m new to Young Living and essential oils in general (going on two months) but am SUPER excited about the benefits I’m already seeing after only 5-6 weeks using them. Thank you so much for being a company with great integrity and focusing so much on quality!! Thank you!!

  • Great, easier to take along on travels for sharing.

  • These sample will make it very easy for me to share my oils. At this time I pull out my large black bag and have found that there are too many smells and dabs. I work in a doctors office so I tend to spend too much time sharing. Our anxiety patients may be wiling to try a free sample of Peace and Calming, I can even have the doctor sample it. The peppermint is a quick pick me up. Lavender is well known for relaxation but is excellent at healing burns. Lemon is great in our water or iced tea for flavor and nutrition. We clean our office with the Thieves Cleaner and our patient’s always comment that our office smells so nice for a doctor’s office. Since Thieves builds immunity I tell them they are building their immunity as they clean their house. Thank for making it easier to share these wonderful oils.

  • Such a professional way to share the wonders of Young Living Essential Oils! No more cringing when I lose a precious drop of oil while filling the little bottles! thank you!!

  • Brilliant! So easy

  • I can’t wait to try these. They sound so versatile and easy to carry.

  • SO excited to try this out! Such a great idea, and wonderful to be working with such an innovative company!

  • This is such a fantastic idea! Now it will be so much easier to share samples. And even though it may be tedious dropping oils in bottles to share, I think it was well worth it. Now, this will save us a lot of prep time and allow us to share them even faster!

  • Such a great way to share the product- I’d carry them with me everywhere!

  • Such a great and professional way to share these amazing oils!

  • The Peace and Calming has been a real life saver for me! My life has become so stressful over the past couple of years for various reasons and when I have my necklace on with the PC in it…….things don’t seem as rough to deal with! Thank you YL!

  • This is just awesome! I wasn’t really comfortable with the glass bottle, lack of labeling, system. I would feel so much more at ease sharing these professionally labeled samples!

  • I love using the Lemon for cleaning and freshening the air. Lavender has saved my skin during and after pregnancy as well.

  • I love this, since I give away a lot of samples.

  • I have been telling everyone I know how great of a company Young Living is and they have been wanting to try the oils as soon as I tell them, but I rarely have them in my purse. These would be great to have on hand 24/7 and great for some yoga workshops I will be going to.

  • I introduced my sister to essential oils when her son was sick and couldn’t seem to shake bronchitis and flu

  • These will make it easy to share with co-workers at Christmas time!

Need More Energy?

Jun 27th, 2013 | Category: Young Living Product Blog

“I can’t give you more time, but I can give you more energy,” announced D. Gary Young during the general session of the 2013 International Grand Convention. If I were posed with the question of what I would want more in my life, energy would be one of my top three answers. Nearly every day I arrive home from a long day of work drained both physically and mentally. Upon arriving, I am greeted by an exhausted wife, four energetic children fighting for my attention, and a list of projects to finish. It is at that point I wouldn’t mind a little boost.

Obviously, the first step to increasing energy is a healthy diet, exercise, and adequate rest. For me, that covers about 90 percent of my time. So how do I make up the difference? Gary’s recommendation is NingXia Nitro. NingXia Nitro is an all-natural way to increase cognitive alertness, enhance mental fitness, and support overall performance.* Its benefits are derived from a wide range of powerful cognitive enhancers, including:

  • Proprietary Nitro oil blend—Black pepper, nutmeg, vanilla, chocolate, yerba mate, spearmint, and peppermint essential oils and wolfberry seed oil
  • Proprietary Nitro energy blend—Bioenergy Ribose®, green tea extract, Korean ginseng extract, mulberry leaf extract
  • B vitamins—B12 (methylcobalamin), B3 (niacinamide), B6 (pyridoxine HCI)
  • Choline

Gary Young synergistically combined immediate and long-term energy-supporting ingredients into a product that speeds up recovery and increases overall energy reserves. NingXia Nitro is a simple and convenient way to become more focused, support mental acuity, and enhance physical performance.*

Each order of NingXia Nitro comes with 14 single-use tubes. It is designed to be taken directly from the tube or mixed with 2-4 oz. of NingXia Red®. or 4 oz. of water anytime you need a pick-me-up. NingXia Nitro is intended to enhance, not replace, NingXia Red. It should be available for purchase in mid-July.

We want to know why you want more energy. We will randomly select one individual who leaves a comment by Friday, June 28, on what he or she would do with more energy to receive a free box of NingXia Nitro. Good luck!

  • Grow my Young Living Business!!!

  • I know how I would use this………I start my day at 3 am….there are days when my kids activities will take me later than I Like. I need to have a little extra boost to do some evening activities with them, being a single mom takes extra energy most days. I would use this Ningxia Nitro on evenings like that. Sometimes I do not have time to get a bite to eat before having to run kids here or there and I run out of steam…having a few packs of Nitro will help me get there!

  • Use the energy to Gods glory and share all the products that Young Living has . They have helped me reach and help others heal their bodies and I am very grateful! !!

  • As a Body Builder, I can’t wait to order this NingXia Nitro for a boost of EXTRA POWER before my next weight training session at Gym. NingXia Red already given me energy to recover and I am sure combining this will bring me up to another level.

  • We all get caught up in the rat race of life and with that, something has to give. With me, its my horse that takes the backseat to all else. With NingXia Nitro, I am hoping to get that last bit of energy required to exercise both myself and my patient companion, my horse!

  • Received a sample from my team mate who went to conference.. Amazing and I am ready to share Nitro!!

  • This is exciting. I have just restarted my business opportunities with Young Living, choosing to combine the oils with my harp music to make an extra unique, relaxing, and healing opportunity with my future clients. I need all the help i can get in getting started, so a box of this brand new, and very awesome product would be awesome
