One of my favorite uses for essential oils is using them in the bath. It is so nice to have a good soak. Sometimes I like to soak to relieve my occasional sore muscles but oftentimes the soak is to help me relax. Taking a hot, relaxing bath is a great way to unwind!

I like to mix my essential oils with epsom salts first to not only help the oils disperse throughout the water, but to experience the benefits of the magnesium rich epsom salts.

If you aren’t the bath type, you can easily reap the benefits of epsom salts by soaking your feet!!

Essential Oils for Relaxation
There are many oils that people like to use for relaxation purposes. I like to diffuse them, rub them on my body with a carrier oil, add to a spray bottle and use as a pillow spray and add to my epsom salts for a relaxing bath. I love adding oils and epsom salts to my daughter’s baths as well!

Benefits of epsom salt according to Epsom Salt Council.

My general rule of thumb is 4-8 drops of essential oils for 1-2 cups of epsom salts. Here are 20 of my favorite relaxing bath salt recipes!

4 drops Lavender and 4 drops Frankincense
4 drops Lavender and 4 drops Cedarwood
2 drops Lavender 2 drops Orange and 4 drops Cedarwood
4 drops Cedarwood and 4 drops Vetiver
4-8 drops Stress Away
2 drops Ylang Ylang and 4 drops Stress Away
4-8 drops Gentle Baby
4-8 drops Peace and Calming
4-8 drops Lavender
4 drops Roman Chamomile, 2 drops Lavender and 3 drops Cedarwood
4 drops Peace and Calming and 2 drops Lavender
2 drops Ylang Ylang 4 drops Lavender and 2 drops Orange
4 drops Stress Away and 4 drops Frankincense

3# Things to Add to your Diet for Healthy Skin

Post author By Magdalena Wesolowski

Beauty may only be skin deep, but caring for your skin starts with some of your body’s most basic functions. That’s why taking care of your skin is more than simply applying serums and creams. Keeping your skin its best also requires proper sun protection, plenty of sleep, and a healthy diet that includes a variety of vitamins and minerals.

A diet full of healthy, unprocessed food is an easy way to care for your skin at its structural level, but lots of Young Living supplements also contain ingredients that support healthy-looking skin. Check out a few of my favorite noteworthy beauty boosters and some of essential oil-infused favorites that include them!

Antioxidants

You’ve heard people buzzing about antioxidants and free radicals, but do you know what they are? Free radicals are reactive molecules that can cause cell damage, and exposure comes from daily living, including things like your body breaking down food, time in the sun, and pollution.

When it comes to neutralizing these molecules, antioxidants play an important role. Add these defenders to your diet by looking for richly colored fruits and veggies (think blueberries, blackberries, cherries, plums, kale, spinach, and beets) and nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin E, and CoQ10.

I love using: Longevity and Super C.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Think “healthy fat” is an oxymoron? Think again! Your body needs omega-3 fatty acids on a structural level since they are part of cell membranes and help with cell function. And your body can’t create these fats on its own—you can only get them directly from food. That makes a diet rich in omega-3s especially important. To up your intake, eat food like walnuts, leafy greens, flax seed, and fresh or canned fish.

I love using: OmegaGize

Zinc

We’re not just talking about whiting out your nose to protect it from the sun’s rays. The trace mineral zinc is actually a little-known skin saver. That’s because your body’s cells, particularly skin cells, rely on this mineral to function. It helps support the skin, in addition to promoting balanced oil production. Add some zinc to your diet with lobster, crab, oysters, cashews, almonds, chicken, chickpeas, and other beans.

I love using: Master Formula

For healthy-looking skin that feels truly cared for, don’t skip the beauty basics! Fill your diet with these nutrients and nourish your body from the inside out.
