Have you wanted to reduce puffiness and temporary inflammation in your face and neck? What about minimizing redness and tightening pores? How about soothing skin irritations (like breakouts & itchy skin)? What about wanting better skin without needles? If you said “Hell yes!” to any of these, read on about some options you may not be aware of.
Lets start with Ice Rolling. We’ve all seen, heard or maybe tried ice baths for our body well what about for our faces?
Ice Rollers:
Encourage and stimulate blood circulation to the face
Reduce swelling, inflammation, and puffiness
Minimize redness and pores
Promote tightening of the skin
Soothe irritation, such as breakouts, itching, redness, and pain
Promote lymphatic fluid drainage
These handy tools also help drive your products further into your skin and apply them more evenly (just make sure you wash your roller and dry it before tossing it back in the freezer).
Don’t have an ice roller just yet? Grab a wax cucumber, peel off 2 inches on one end, wrap in wax paper or foil, and place in your freezer. Massage your face. Peel as needed to freshen up your cucumber and refreeze.
Next up is Dry Brushing?
Dry brushing is beneficial for your skin and your lymphatic system.
This technique stimulates the lymphatic system, therefore, aiding in the ridding of toxins. The coarse bristles on the brush stimulate the pores and open them up promoting sweat and the removal of toxins, as well as aiding in the removal of dead skin cells.
To dry brush, use a natural fiber brush with a long handle. For added benefits, you can grab your Yarrow | Pom, Cypress, or Grapefruit essential oil and drop a few drops on the brush before you begin.
Get Started:
1️⃣ Start at your feet and move up your body.
2️⃣ Brush your skin using wide, circular, clockwise motions.
3️⃣ Use light pressure in areas where your skin is thin and harder pressure on thicker skin, like the soles of your feet.
4️⃣ Brush your arms after you have brushed your feet, legs, and mid-section. You should brush upward towards your armpits.
5️⃣ After dry brushing, take a cool shower to help remove the dry skin.
6️⃣ After your shower, dry off and then consider adding dōTERRA Spa lotion or Body Butter.

Now let’s chat about Red Light Therapy (RLT).
You may have heard about light therapy treatments recently and the benefits it can have for your skin. Hospitals, clinics, and even some spas are starting to offer it.
👉 What exactly is it?
RLT is a treatment that uses low wavelength red light to reportedly improve your skin’s appearance. Think acne and wrinkles. But on a medical level, there are reports that it is being trialed for some deeper skin issues!
Red Light Therapy works by stimulating collagen production, increasing blood circulation, and reducing inflammation in the cells. It does this by targeting the mitochondria in your cells by giving them more energy to make more cells. 🤯
RLT is being used to improve wound healing, reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scarring, minimize fine lines and wrinkles, and so much more.
