This is what my current daily skin care routine looks like, using some of doTERRA’s most beautiful plant-based products and pure essential oils.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Typically I either make my own skin care or buy a cheapie brand from the supermarket. And as much as DIY is a bunch of fun – it can be time consuming, so more often than not, it’s supermarket fare for me.<\/p>\n I didn’t even know doTERRA had a skin care range before I joined them – but I thought I may as well give a few things a whirl, considering they were low-tox, plant-based, infused with botanicals, and of course, their lovely, pure therapeutic grade essential oils.<\/p>\n Let’s just say I’m a convert.<\/p>\n [feast_advanced_jump_to]<\/p>\n [bctt tweet=\"My doTERRA essential oil skin care routine - check out my daily go-to's here!\" username=\"laurenglucina\"]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This collection contains the best natural ingredients – doTERRA essential oils, emollients, and plant extracts, and has been designed to nourish and hydrate the skin, and reduce visible signs of ageing.<\/p>\n The cool thing about the range, is that you can further customise it to your needs, by adding a drop or two of your essential oil of choice. I’ve been adding the Yarrow Pom to my moisturiser, so I’ll speak to that in a moment.<\/p>\n doTERRA’s very considered approach blends science with nature. They have disclosed the full list of ingredients online<\/a>, with their corresponding safety ratings.<\/p>\n In the chart they provide, you’ll also see they’ve listed the function and source of each ingredient. This means the homework is done for you – you don’t have to jump on Google to try and interpret your ingredients list before you feel safe to apply the product to your skin.<\/p>\n Furthermore, whilst the ingredient list does contain some unfamiliar names (such as sodium levulinate, coco-glucoside and polyglyceryl-4 caprate), you’ll see that all of them are actually plant or mineral derived.<\/p>\n If it is rated as having no concerns, then you can be assured that it is safe to use and isn’t toxic or harmful.<\/p>\n The collection cost $134 NZD for all four products, which I find pretty reasonable, particularly if you purchase it via their Loyalty Rewards Programme as I did – collecting points for your purchases. In fact, I earned enough points on this order to get a free essential oil next month, to the value of $40.<\/p>\n So what’s in the Verage skin care collection?<\/strong><\/p>\n I use this morning and night, with one little customisation…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This duo is a blend of high-chamazulene yarrow essential oil with cold-pressed pomegranate seed oil.<\/p>\n doTERRA have dubbed this the go-to for ageing, reducing blemishes, vitality, overall wellness and that glow.<\/em><\/p>\n The main actives in here are;<\/strong><\/p>\n I pump the moisturiser into my palm, then add 2-3 drops of the Yarrow | Pom, mix it together, and massage into my face.<\/p>\n The Yarrow | Pom adds a little thickness to the otherwise light face cream. It makes my skin feel supple and tight, and definitely gives it a healthy glow.<\/p>\n And no – it doesn’t make you look like Smurfette despite the colour!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now this product, like the Yarrow | Pom, is a new addition to doTERRA – and it was the one I was least excited about but most surprised by when it came in my order.<\/p>\n It is a lightweight hydrating body mist and is legit 100\/100 – I’m totally obsessed!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This one is fun – it’s a blend of pure essential oils that change with the unique chemistry of the wearer, smelling slightly different on everyone.<\/p>\n This little blend replaces my old, totally toxic chemical-laden ‘designer’ perfumes. I can’t believe I used to mindlessly spritz them directly over both lymph nodes and thyroid gland!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This combo is something I’ve been using religiously every evening before bed. It’s technically not part of my skin care routine but since I use them topically I thought I’d include them.<\/p>\n Both of these oils vibrate at an incredibly high frequency – much higher than the human body. It is said rose has a frequency of 320 MHz, whilst frankincense has a frequency of 147 MHz.<\/p>\n If the body is vibrating at a frequency of 62-70 MHz as it should in good health, then using these oils topically can help raise the vibrations of each of that individual’s cells. Woah.<\/em><\/p>\n In practical terms, I like to apply them over my wrists, make a cross over my heart space, and roll them over my third eye.<\/p>\n I feel like it helps lift my energy, strengthen and protect my energetic field.<\/p>\n Add to that, frankincense is inherently calming and grounding, so it’s a great one to apply before bed.<\/p>\n That’s it!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Don’t have an account yet?!
