Hi , are you enjoying my “Fab 5” series?

These are the 5 oil-infused products or groups of products in Young Living’s range that I would NEVER want to be without. They are my absolute favourites. If you haven’t tried all of these, make sure you do – and see why I love them so much!

Fab #1 – The amazing Red Drink, which keeps me hydrated and healthy, glowing from the inside out

Fab #2- The entire Thieves Range of biodegradable, Planet friendly household products

Fab #3- My favourite toothpastes – Thieves Whitening Toothpaste for my teeth, and Dentarome Plus for my underams

Fab #4- My favourite drinks – the Lavender Lemonade Vytalyte drops + the Bloom Collagen Complete drink

This week, I want to wrap up our Fab 5 series with the two oil-infused products that are my favourites for my skin. Young Living has 3 skin care lines, from ART (for mature and sensitive skin) to Balance (aka Orange Blossom – for younger skin) and Bloom (for whitening skin that has blemishes). I’ve used all 3 ranges, but if I had to choose one line for my skin, it’s ART. I Let me share my top 2 products in the ART line with you….


I struggled with extreme Acne Rosacea

ART stands for “Age Refining Technology”, and it’s Young Living’s original skincare line. It’s designed for all skin types, but is especially good for mature and sensitive skin.

When it was first released, I was suffering from extreme acne rosacea. And I mean extreme! The skin on my face was so inflamed that my face looked like a beetroot, and doctors said it was one of the worst cases they’d ever seen. I was covered in weeping sores, and my skin felt sooooo sore and irritated. And it looked absolutely horrible – I was embarrassed to go out in public like that, and hid myself behind some natural makeup.

That was before we had Savvy Minerals by Young Living – nowadays, this the only makeup line I use…and if I had a “Fab 6”, ithe Savvy Mineral Makeup would be #6 in my all time favouriteYoung Living oil-infused products.

Fortunately, the rosacea has now cleared up after 27 years of experimentation, and a lot of work balancing my gut flora, and avoiding gluten and dairy products. But when it was so severe, every beauty product I used on my skin was aggravating it, so I stopped using all cleansers and moisturisers. There were a few essential oils that my skin would tolerate, so that became my beauty regime, with oils like Frankincense, Myrrh, Helichrysum and Grand Fir.

When Young Living announced the release of the ART skincare range, I was extremely nervous about trying it. What if it flared up my skin? But loving Young Living as I do, I decided to take the plunge and try it anyway. Here’s what happened….

I still remember my very first use of the ART Gentle Cleanser. This is a foaming cleanser, so 1-2 pump actions is enough to deposit a wonderful bunch of foam into your hands. I moistened my face with water, and rubbed the ART Gentle Cleanser into my skin….and WOW!!!!

After I washed it off, my skin felt soooooooo silky and soft. I’d never felt it like that before – it was beautiful!!! Instead of reacting, my skin felt soothed by the special ingredients in the ART Gentle Cleanser.  

Now, many years later, it is still my cleanser of choice. And I can always add a drop of essential oil into the foaming cleanser once it’s on my palms – oils like Frankincense, Patchouli, Manuka, Carrot Seed, Geranium, Sandalwood and Myrrh.

Alternatively, after I’ve finished cleansing, toning and moisturising my skin, I can use 3 drops of Young Living’s CBD Beauty Boost (containing Rose oil) on my skin before bed. It adds an extra special glow, and is available in the US and UK, and throughout most of Europe. If you live in Australia/New Zealand, unfortunately this product is not yet available in our market. Fingers crossed that one day our regulations will change, and we’ll be able to access this incredible product.

 

What makes ART Gentle Cleanser so special?

Just like all of Young Living’s skincare lines, ART is not only clean and green – it is also formulated to be the perfect pH for our skin. Why is this important? It’s because our skin has this awesome protective layer on it, called the acid mantle. When we use products that aren’t the right pH for our skin, we break the skin’s acid mantle. This damages our natural collagen production, and can lead to excessive oiliness, dryness, irritation, psoriasis, acne, and of course wrinkles and other signs of aging.

The best pH level for the skin is 4.8 to 6. Anything higher than this is considered alkaline, and this accelerates aging. Anything lower than this is considered acidic, and it strips our skin, causing excessive oiliness and acne, and allowing germs and toxins to penetrate and harm our skin.

But it’s not just the pH balance which is special about ART Gentle Cleanser. It also contains some beautiful active ingredients:

Orchid Flower Extract

  • Did you know that the orchid is the one plant that can hold more than its own weight in water? This is what makes Orchid Flower Extract soooooo hydrating to our skin, helping to keep our skin looking youthful and dewey, and preventing our skin from drying out.

Essential Oils

  • The ART Gentle Cleanser contains some luscious essential oils for our skin. Frankincense, Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood and Melissa oil are highly prized oils for the skin, and are amongst our more expensive and exclusive of Young Living’s essential oils. ART Gentle Cleanser also contains Lavender and Lemon essential oil. This is a beautiful way to allow your skin to benefit from some of Cleopatra’s secrets.

ART Gentle Cleanser doesn’t just nourish your skin – it also cleanses it, removing pore-clogging residues such as dirt, impurities, makeup, and dead skin, resulting in a complexion that is silky soft and clean.

And the softness I felt in my skin after using the ART Gentle Cleanser was absolutely noticeable. I love it!!!!

There are many different products in the ART Skincare Range, including a toner, light moisturiser, intensive moisturiser and ART Renewal Serum. All of these products are Vegan-friendly, with the exception of the ART Light Moisturiser (which is vegetarian but not vegan, due to the inclusion of Xanthum Gum). A great regime is to start with the ART Gentle Cleanser, then use the Toner, then the ART Renewal Serum, and then your ART moisturiser of choice over the top.

ART Renewal Serum 

Like the ART Gentle Cleanser, the ART Renewal Serum also contains an intricate blend of exotic Orchid Extract (Phalaenopsis amabilis) with the skin-enhancing benefits of therapeutic-grade essential oils. But it goes one step further with a whole host of other natural botanicals to create the ultimate beauty product.

If you want to pour love and hydration on your skin AND fight the damaging effects of free radicals, then I’m sure this will become your all-time-favourite Young Living skincare product.

The premium ingredients found in this unique formula work in harmony to deeply nourish, hydrate and help restore youthful skin and natural skin radiance, benefiting even the most delicate areas of the face.

Because of the intensely hydrating nature of the Orchid Extract, the ART Renewal Serum helps to hydrate and nourish the skin (especially where there are fine lines and wrinkles), thus making your skin look smoother and glowing. One squirt is all you need. 

I start by applying this serum under my eyes (to the soft skin that shows my smile lines!), and then to the rest of my face. If any is left on my fingertips after applying to my face, I then rub it on the back of my hands.
