Acne, Hormones, and Skin Health
February 22, 2012
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 both “Acne Prone” and “Regular” 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.

Frankincense is also good for blemished skin and overall health.
Dragon Time™ Bath & Shower Gel combines the soothing and calming properties of essential oils with naturally moisturizing botanicals for a luxurious gel that leaves you feeling clean, relaxed, and uplifted. This bath and shower gel is particularly comforting for women during their monthly cycles.
