Oily skin, blemishes, and, sometimes, acne are a problem for many people during their teen years and beyond. For most people, skin problems diminish over time and tend to disappear once they get into their twenties. However, some individuals continue to struggle with hormone balance into their adult years, and have skin problems into their thirties, forties, and beyond. In addition, monthly cramps, headaches, moodiness, and fatigue are irritations that plague many women to varying degrees.
During adolescents, when the body begins to produce hormones, a balanced system is crucial for healthy skin and emotions. It is much easier to have a “meek and gentle spirit” when we aren’t in pain, exhausted, or emotional. Several of Young Living’s blends and serums are designed to help women find relief; and, for your convenience, I’ve put together a few essential oil-based product suggestions for those who are struggling with these issues.
For the Skin
Orange Blossom Facial Wash™ is a gentle, nonabrasive, free-rinsing cleanser that removes dirt and makeup without stripping skin of natural oils. It contains MSM to promote healthier and clearer skin, wolfberry seed oil to hydrate, and essential oils to soothe with aromatic benefits. Added botanicals protect skin from free radical damage. (For older women, the Gentle Foaming Cleanser in the ART Skin Care System is a better choice).

Essential Beauty Serums are specially formulated for dry, oily, or acne-prone skin. Young Living’s serums offer the skin care benefits of pure essential oils to protect, strengthen, and improve the appearance of the skin. Each serum also utilizes a proprietary blend of skin-nourishing carrier oils such as coconut, avocado, jojoba, rosehip seed, and wolfberry seed for ease in application and absorption and to protect the skin without over drying or clogging pores.
The acne prone formula soothes blemished skin and discourages future breakouts.

15 Things to Know When You First Begin Using Young Living Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils…
YL oils labeled as “supplements” are able to be used internally. Click HEREto read what “therapeutic grade” means and why it’s so important.
Peppermint is probably the most useful oil on the planet. Always make sure you have enough.
If you ever need to dilute an essential oil because of sensitive skin, and you don’t have a carrier oil available, do not use water; use anything that contains ‘fat’… such as full fat yogurt, butter, full fat milk or cream. It’s the ‘fat’ that dilutes your essential oils. Also, milk or cream is the best choice if you ever accidentally get essential oils in your eyes.
If Frankincense was precious to Jesus, it should be precious to us too!
Essential oils that ‘may’ require a carrier oil for topical use: PanAway, Peppermint, Basil, any of the Eucalyptus, any of the citrus (Lemon, Orange, Grapefruit, Tangerine, Bergamot*), Myrrh, Myrtle, and Melissa.
Essential oils that should (almost) always be diluted with a carrier oil for topical use: Clove, Cinnamon Bark, Wintergreen, Oregano, Thyme, Lemongrass, Black Pepper, Patchouli, Mountain Savory, Nutmeg, Marjoram, Balsam Fir, Coriander, Cypress, Galbanum, Pine, Ravensara, Ocotea.
“Neat” means undiluted
Diffusing essential oils(with a cold-air diffuser) alleviates stress, cleanses the air, and creates a pleasant atmosphere in the home.
Mixing essential oils with sea salt or Epsom Salt prior to adding them to your bath water allows the essential oil to stay evenly dispersed in the water.
There are approximately 250 drops in a 15 ml bottle of essential oil
Hide the peppermint oil from your husband or he’ll use it all!
* Note: Citrus essential oils can make skin photosensitive.
“The compounds comprising plant oils were spoken into existence when God created plants. These compounds are imbued with God’s Word and God’s intelligence, which is not measured in a laboratory, nor by any physical instrument…Synthetic compounds may be copies of the formulas of compounds found in essential oils, but they are lacking the subtle energies contained in natural substances. Those who apply essential oils for healing soon learn that only pure, natural, complete, and unadulterated oils bring about healing, while synthetic oils, or oils adulterated by synthetic compounds, do not.” – David Steward, PhD, DNM, IASP
I have often wondered why so many ancient treasures, precious oils that used to be so highly valued, are no longer used or appreciated to the same extent in our modern day. I’ve come to the conclusion that there may be a few reasons for this: 1.) Natural substances such as essential oils can’t be patented and 2.) Synthetic chemical are cheaper and provide more profit to the producer. In the process, the general public has been convinced that these products are somehow “better.”
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. ” – Isaiah 55:8–11
I’ve been using essential oils for about twelve years and I have learned to appreciate many of their amazing qualities. However, a few years ago, I started using Young Living’s therapeutic grade essential oils and was amazed by the difference in quality—the difference between therapeutic gradeessential oils and cheaper brands claiming to be “pure.”
As I learned more about their powerful healing abilities, and began to rely on them for my family’s health, the next thing I wondered was how I was going to afford them; because frankly, just like any valuable product, you pay for what you get. Since I wanted to use my oils medicinally to improve my family’s health, I knew I needed the good stuff.
However, as a mom on a budget with a large family, I wondered how I could afford to regularly purchase all I needed. One of our goals right now as a family is to become debt free. How, I wondered, can I keep using essential oils when there just isn’t anything extra in the family budget? I’m going to share with you five simple ways to help you afford the oils you need.
1. Balance Your Budget with Transfer Buying
I got out a pen and paper and started to write out the various personal care products I had been buying: Antacids, headache pills, anti-inflammatories, allergy meds, decongestants, anti-fungal creams, sore muscle creams, tooth ache medicine, burn creams, natural bug repellents, air fresheners, bite creams, toothpaste, supplements, lotions, etc.
Then, I looked up the ingredients in many of these items and considered their risks and side effects. I spent a few hours one day purging my medicine closet. I couldn’t believe the amount of products that not only did I not need, but I didn’t want in the bodies of my husband and children! Not only could my essential oils do the job, they could do a better job! And they could do it without harming our bodies with toxic chemicals!
I made a separate list of all the essential oils that I could use instead of what I had been using. CLICK HERE to download my handy “Natural First Aid Chart that details what “I used to use” and “What I use now.”
I found that I could use peppermint for congestion, staying alert on a long drive, turning a posterior baby (read what happened HERE), freshening stale rooms, soothing an upset stomach, motion sickness, and the list goes on. I was able to wipe out a number of household products with just that one oil!
2. Give the Gift of Health
In addition to improving my health and saving $$$ by not buying all the junk I used to buy, I began to use my oils as gifts for friends and family. Birthdays, Christmas, hostess gifts—essential oils became my new favorite act of kindness! I could drop a bottle of essential oil, or a homemade essential oil-based gift, into an organza bag and I had an instant present! I transferred the money I would have spent at Hallmark, or wherever, to my Essential Rewards order…and earned points for more free products! In addition, I introduced friends and relatives to the pleasing benefits of essential oils!
Would you like to know how you can get free oils? Essential Rewards (ER) is a program that offers discounts and reward points based on your monthly purchases. It is free to join and there is no obligation to continue; you are simply agreeing to purchase at least 50 PV (approx. $50.00) per month of whatever oils or YL products you’d like.

4. Make Your Own Personal Care Products and Household Cleaners
While I discovered that Young Living made a number of household products and cleaners that were natural and safe for my family (as opposed to the popular brands found in the grocery store) I decided that what makes YL’s products so amazing are the essential oils in them! So, I decided to save a few dollars by making some of my own products from scratch using these fantastic oils!
I came up with my own recipesfor room sprays, toothpaste, deodorant, perfume, window cleaner, facial cleanser, diaper cream, insect repellant, tub scrub, dusting powder, bath salts, and even breath spray! Though I enjoy many of Young Living’s personal care products and cleaners, I also know how to make my own essential oil-based products for a fraction of what I was spending at the grocery store! This saves me even more money—money I am able to invest in my Essential Reward order, which helps me to earn more points for FREE oils!
5. Refer a Friend and Earn Cash!
Your Young Living oils will sometimes pay for themselves because, as you use them, your friends will notice. And when they notice, they’ll want to use them too. And when they want to use them too, they’re going to ask you where they can get their own. And when they sign up under you, you may qualify for significant commissions and bonuses without even having tried.
In some ways, becoming a YL distributor is more like a well-organized referral program than a business. I don’t have to keep inventory, sell products, exchange money, deal with shipping, or handle book keeping. Young Living does all of that for me. I get to do the fun part: Use the oils with my family, as well as write and talk about them whenever I have the chance. Feel free to contact me if you’d like more details on how you can earn commissions and bonuses by referring others.
As you can see there are plenty of creative ways to afford essential oils; however, because of what I’ve learned about them over the years, and because of the wonderful way I’ve seen them improve my family’s health, it wouldn’t matter to me if I was paying a little extra for them. Thankfully, though, because of what I shared above, I’m not. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if you would like help in figuring out a good plan to get started!
*Certain bonuses and commissions may require a minimum of 100 PV.
I received the following letter today from a young mom who shared about her struggle with resuming intimacy after her babies were born. She’s agreed to share her heart-felt personal story with us, in order to help other women understand that God’s gift of essential oils can be a great blessing to us both physically and emotionally…
This is a little sensitive, but I wanted to share with you how God used essential oils to bless my marriage. Samuel and I have been married for nearly 9 years and have four sweet little daughters. The problem I’ve been having started after I had my daughter, Sarah, who is 5 ½ years old.
You know how after you have a baby it can be a bit frustrating getting back into the “swing of things” with regards to intimacy with your husband? Well, after I had my Emily a year ago, and was given the “green light” to once again be intimate with my husband, I had the worst anxiety about it all.
Emily was my first baby to be born at home and the first baby that I actually shared a bed with. For the first few days after she was born, she slept in the bed right next to me and Samuel slept on the couch. This was in an effort to halt our little ones from coming into the bedroom at night and waking me or the baby up.
Sadly, this became the norm in our house for 9 months! Samuel and I were intimate around that 6 week postpartum mark, but I was in so much physical discomfort, and my mind was so focused on Emily, that it was just disastrous. For months I just didn’t want to be touched.
Nursing Emily around the clock – three other children requiring so much of me emotionally and physically…by the time Samuel got home I was just on sensory overload and could not stand to be touched by another human being! It was truly a low point for me, and I assume for my husband.
As time went on, we attempted intimacy two more times – both times were absolutely painful for me. My entire body was tense the entire time and I began to become bitter and resentful, as I felt like I was being forced to have sex. It seems so silly now, but during that time the only advice I was receiving was “you are required to have sex with your husband regardless – so do it and be quiet.” At least that’s how I perceived the advice.
A couple of months ago when I signed up under you with YL, I began to talk to a good friend about what was plaguing me and she was so gentle and kind in her wise counsel. Eventually, I made another attempt at being intimate with my husband only to break down in tears.
My poor husband had no clue that I was struggling so much. In fact, he thought that my issues had to do with me feeling like he didn’t find me desirable anymore. We had a long talk and he reassured me that he loved me, that there was no rush, and that he felt genuinely heartbroken that he had caused me any pain.
That night was the beginning of healing for me, both physically and emotionally. Flash forward to recent weeks when things began to get better, though I was still experiencing some physical pain and light bleeding after being intimate.
I ordered the Ylang Ylang in order to get the Valentine special (the free Lavender), not really knowing what to do with the Ylang Ylang. Well, I found a use! I read in the Essential Oil Pocket Reference you sent me that it is good for sexual intimacy, so last night I put it on my shoulders, neck and abdomen. Outcome: Glorious! I don’t know how else to describe it.
Yesterday was Samuel’s 34th birthday, and I so wanted to do something special for him. Well, using the Ylang Ylang worked miracles for me last night. No pain and no bleeding, and I wasn’t the least bit tense. Also, I was able to totally focus on my husband and enjoy him.
Generally, my mind wanders to when Emily is going to wake up to be nursed, or what if one of the other girls wakes up, or the kitchen isn’t clean, or any number of other distracting thoughts!
I had taken many steps in an effort to remedy the problems I was having. I moved Emily out of our room and into the room with her sisters. I tried making our bedroom as calming and relaxing as possible. But, while those were definitely great steps in the right direction, the Ylang Ylang, in my opinion, perfected the process.
I just had to share this with you because if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have known about all of the different oils, nor would I have had the reference book to refer to. I just wanted you to know how much this precious oil has blessed me!
The names and identifying information in this story have been changed to protect the privacy of the those involved.

What is the difference between the therapeutic grade essential oils provided by Young Living and other over-the-counter essential oils that claim to be ‘pure’?
The distinction is of utmost importance, since 90% of the essential oils marketed in the United States as ‘pure’ are actually only fragrance-grade.
To start with, ‘therapeutic-grade’ is not simply an indication of purity. Young Living produces oils that have an unusually high concentration of therapeutic components. You can’t get that without having your own farms and doing your own distillations – or in the case of Frankincense, have access to the finest plants (trees) in the world.
To get these high concentrations of therapeutic components, Young Living uses a process that involves strict attention to detail right from the seeds sown to the plants harvested. This ensures that the oils they provide are the purest, most potent essential oils available. This precise, detailed method is known as the ‘Seed to Seal’ process.
Young Living essential oils are:
• 100% pure
• Sourced only from known botanical species
• Sustainably grown and harvested
• Grown on chemical-free lands in carefully nourished soil (organic)
• Unmatched throughout the essential oils industry
• So pure and natural, they’re used and recommended by integrative health professionals around the world
The fact that Young Living’s oils are organic is more important than food being organic. Since essential oils are the concentrated essence of the plant, any contaminants in the soil or on the plant will become present in the oil.
When we compare Young Living ’s ‘therapeutic-grade’ essential oils with the type of “pure essential oils” available at wholefood shops, we find significant differences in quality and purity. For example, the Essential Oils Desk Reference tells us that:
“Pure frankincense is often extended with colorless, odorless, solvents such as diethylphthalate or dipropylene glycol…unfortunately, a large percentage of essential oils marketed in the United States fall in this adulterated category. When you understand the world of synthetic oils, as well as low-grade oils cut with synthetic chemicals, you realize why unsuspecting people with their untrained noses don’t know the difference…
“Anyone venturing into the world of therapy using essential oils must use the purest quality oils available. Inferior quality or adulterated oils most likely will not produce therapeutic results and could possibly be toxic.”
The Four Grades of Oils
Basically, there are 4 grades of essential oils:
1. Grade A oils are pure, therapeutic, and superior quality. They are usually made from organically grown plants, and are distilled at the proper temperatures. “Virgin” soil may also be used.
2. Grade B oils are the most common essential oil and they are sometimes labeled as “pure.” However, they may still contain pesticides, fertilizers, synthetics, extenders, or carrier oils. While Grade B oils are considered “food grade,” I would never recommend ingesting these oils.
3. Grade C are perfume grade and usually contain the same type of adulterating chemicals as Grade B oils. They also often contain solvents which are used to gain a higher yield of oil per harvest. Solvents are not healthy. Still, these oils are sometimes used in aromatherapy or for making perfume products.
4. Floral Water is a byproduct of the distillation process. It can be very high quality if superior, organic material is used and it comes from a “Grade A” distillation process. However if it is from compromised raw materials and/or a poor distillation process, it will be a very low quality. Floral Water is often used for more expensive oils, such as Rose Oil, since it takes 5000 pounds of roses to make just one 1 pound of essential oil.
FDA Says Only 5% of Ingredient = ‘pure’
In her book, Their Leaves for Healing: The Divine Gift of Plants That Heal, Elizabeth Flores writes that:
90% of what is sold in the United States as ‘pure’ essential oil is fragrance-grade and diluted. (The FDA has determined that a product need contain only 5% of the ingredient on the label in order to use the word pure.) These oils are found on the shelves of many health food stores and at online discount houses. They may be less expensive, but they will not be useful for healing.
Questions to Ask
When trying to decide which quality of oils to buy, these are some of the questions that need to be asked (taken from The Essential Oil Desk Reference):
Are the fragrances delicate, rich, and organic? Do they “feel” natural? Do the aromas vary from batch to batch as an indication that they are painstakingly distilled in small batches rather than industrially processed on a large scale?
Does your supplier subject each batch of essential oils through multiple chemical analyses to test for purity and therapeutic quality? Are these tests performed by independent labs?
Does your supplier grow and distill its own organically grown herbs?
Are the distillation facilities part of the farm where the herbs are grown (so oils are freshly distilled), or do herbs wait days to be processed and lose potency?
Does your supplier use low pressure and low temperature to distill essential oil so as to preserve all of their fragile chemical constituents? Are the distillation cookers fabricated from costly food-grade stainless steel alloys to reduce the likelihood of the oils chemically reacting with metal?
Does your supplier personally inspect the fields and distilleries where the herbs are grown and distilled? Do they verify that no synthetic or harmful solvents or chemicals are being used?
Do your essential oils meet AFNOR or ISO standards?
How many years has your supplier been doing all of this?
Do your essential oils have a shelf life of just a few years? [If so, this means they are probably mixed with a carrier oil (like almond oil) that will go rancid.] This means the oil is certainly not pure.
Do your essential oils come from an edible plant, yet have a warning on them not to take them internally? [This is a huge red flag!]
About 98% of essential oils produced in the world today are not intended for serious, therapeutic and/or medicinal use. Most are produced for the perfume, cosmetics, and food industries. Therefore, criteria like purity, potency, organic, etc. are not important for these uses.
Because the raw materials and the extraction process for Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils are so expensive, many oils on the market have been cut, diluted and adulterated in various ways. Sad to say, some marketers bottle these poor quality oils and sell them for therapeutic purposes to unsuspecting consumers.
A Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil is more than a “certified organic” oil. It is an oil that is complete in the makeup of its constituents, having the fragrance, frequency, and chemistry that are necessary to give it all of its unique, therapeutic qualities and effects.
As we have already mentioned above, a quality, Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil is chemically complex and all of its sometimes fragile components need to be present after distillation of the final product. This requires not only a lot of understanding of the makeup of the oil on the production side but also a great deal of time and expense to care for the proper species of plant.
To insure proper potency, plants should be grown on virgin land, uncontaminated by chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides or herbicides and away from pollution sources. The plant materials must be kept free of petrochemical herbicides and pesticides, since these can react with the essential oil during distillation.
The soil should be conditioned with enzymes, trace minerals, and organic bio-solids, since plants lacking in certain minerals and nutrients yield oils low in therapeutic value. Irrigation should be done with reservoir, watershed or mountain stream water.
Plants need to be harvested at the proper time of the season to insure highest potency. Sometimes even a few hours can make the difference. For example, German Chamomile needs to be harvested in the morning since it then yields an oil with far more azulene than when it is harvested later in the day.
The steam distillation method of extracting the oils from the plants requires careful and proper low temperature and pressure monitoring. Too high of temperature or too much pressure can be deleterious to the fragile aromatic molecules of the plant. In addition, batch sizes need to be kept small and the distillation chamber must be made out of food-grade stainless steel instead of copper or aluminum to avoid reactions with the oils.
Producing pure, Therapeutic Grade Essential oils is a costly venture. The methods required are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it often requires several hundred, sometimes even thousands of pounds of raw plant material to produce a single pound of essential oil. For example, it takes 5,000 pounds of rose petals to produce one pound of rose oil, and it takes three tons of Melissa to produce one pound of oil.”
