As you get older you may notice your skin isn’t as plump and as youthful as it used to be. It doesn’t bounce back and it may be sagging a bit. The skin looks like it is thinning and wrinkles are showing up.

Collagen is a structural building block for healthy skin, nails, bones, joints, tendons, and other connective tissues. Around 70% of your skin is made from collagen. Collagen is what makes your complexion firm, plump, and youthful, which is why it is so important in anti-aging efforts. It’s never too early to start supporting collagen production.

Vitamin C is one of the most important nutrients for supporting collagen. Young Living has 2 kinds of Super C. Vitamin C is one of the most important vitamins required by our bodies. The ingredients in Super C play a role in normal immune and circulatory functions, help to strengthen connective tissues, and promote overall health, vitality, and longevity. Because our bodies cannot manufacture vitamin C, we can benefit by consuming this powerful antioxidant daily.

Super C Chewable combines premium grade Orange essential oil with a proprietary blend of camu camu, acerola, cherry, and rose hips fruit powder to create a powerful immune-supporting supplement. Together, these premium ingredients deliver desirable polyphenols, carotenoids, and optimal amounts of vitamin C in a convenient chewable tablet.

Vitamin C is extremely important for collagen production.

While we are out in the environment, we are exposed to toxins which are everywhere, take a burden on our system. That is reflected in our skin. To prevent the free radical damage, antioxidants and bioflavinoids and lots of other good ingredients from a whole food source that supports collagen production.

Having healthy, vibrant and beautiful skin means having a healthy liver. The liver is one of the most important detoxifying organs in the body. It is the most complicated organ with the greatest number of functions (known to have 5,000 chemical functions a day) transforming digested food into usable materials and disposing of waste, thus affecting every cell of our body.

Over a liter of blood passes through the liver every minute. When the liver is overloaded, the skin excretes the toxins and poisons present in the body. Some of the symptoms of a stressed liver include the following: skin irritations, blemishes, acne, psoriasis, eczema, allergies, itching skins or hives, heart burn, bloating, general fatigue, nausea and abdominal swelling, yellow discoloration of the skin or eyes, loss of appetite, dark colored urine and loss of energy.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals in Daily Living
The average woman applies 300 chemicals to her body every single day, 80 of them before breakfast. The top 10 most dangerous chemicals in our home are air fresheners like plugins or candles. Second on the list is chemical cleaning supplies for your counters, floors and toilets, as well as drain and oven cleaners and furniture polish, dishwasher and dish detergent, beauty supplies and personal care products like hairspray, gel shampoo, deodorant. One of the top pollutants in the family home is laundry detergent and fabric softener. You wash your clothes, it sits on your skin, outgasses in your closet all night long. That information was from the US Environmental Protection Agency’s top 10 Killer Household Chemicals Study.

All of these Harsh chemicals contribute to an overloaded liver. This is why it is important to be aware of the chemicals that are in the products we are using on a daily basis. You can reduce a lot of them by replacing with healthier options. Young Living has a large selection of products that are free of harsh chemicals. Click HERE for few examples.

Eat for a Healthy Liver
Everything you eat must pass through your liver, so pay attention to your nutrition to keep a healthy liver and a healthy you with youthful, radiant skin.

Eat a well-balanced diet.

Avoid deep fried foods, smoke, cured and salted foods.

Use alternative seasonings in your cooking such as lemon juice, onion, garlic, mustard, cloves, sage, oregano or thyme.

Increase your fiber (fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains).

Eat fruit instead of rich desserts and drinks.

Drink Plenty of Water

Drink fresh lemon in warm water upon arising in the morning.

Use supplements and or essential oils to support your healthy liver: Examples: Ledum, Helichrysum, Carrot Seed, Geranium, Cardamon, Sage, Rosemary CT cineol, German Chamomile and Roman Chamomile.

Young Living offers two oil blends to support a healthy liver: JuvaFlex and Juva Cleanse and a supplement called JuvaTone.

Essential oils have been used for skin care since ancient times. They are a much healthier option than most of the chemical laden products on the market today. What you do today in the name of beauty may affect your health in the years to come.

Our skin is our largest organ; it is also the most noticeable. The skin acts as a protective barrier for our body. Many people don’t realize how absorbent the skin is. They use all kinds of products that are full of harsh chemical ingredients, which are absorbed by the skin.

There are many essential oils that are good for the skin. Young Living has a full line of skin care products with essential oils. I love Young Living’s skin and personal care products but I also like to make up my own.

Essential oils that are good in skin care products: Geranium, Frankincense, Myrrh, Vetiver, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Rose, Lavender
