The Skinny on Skin

Skin. Its our largest organ so when it needs a little help, we usually notice big time. This was actually one of the reasons I got into oils - my little girl's skin needed some lovin' - so here's a few things we've learned along the way! 

✨Lavender, Frank, and Tea Tree are some of the basics to keep around for skin. When she had specific areas of her skin that needed attention, I'd apply a salve made from sweet almond oil (often coconut oil can be too rough for sensitive skin!) and those three oils.

✨You might laugh, but grab a jar of Animal Scents ointment. It has shown itself off time and time again when nothing else would. Although its part of the pet line, it's got the same ingredients as Rose Ointment and you get a looottt more for your money. Pro tip.  ???? We marvel at its effectiveness often. Rub anywhere skin needs soothing.

✨YL's Coconut Lime Replenishing Body Butter is another that will nourish and support skin in a huge way. I've had desperate mom friends rave about it. It's got cupuacu butter in it - google its benefits. 

✨And yes, ditching and switching factors in here too. A lot of ingredients in conventional laundry soaps are messing with our skin! Over and over friends have shared success stories of their skin - kids and adult! - being so much happier once they switched to Thieves Laundry Soap. 

✨For daily use and upkeep, I love the Kidscents Lotion for my girl and the Genesis Body Lotion for myself. I pull out the Sandalwood cream or Animals Scents ointment when I need some big guns on my elbows, knees, or #pregnancyskin

Hope these tips are helpful - they've saved us a hassle many a time!
