Take Care of Your Eyes - Skin Care!

Take Care of Your Eyes - Skin Care!
You can take care of the delicate skin around your eyes!

Do you have
  • puffy eyelids,
  • dark circles,
  • wrinkles?
Here are some ideas to support your body and your skin!

Delicate
The skin around your eyes needs a little extra care! Young Living's Wolfberry Eye Cream is a thick moisturizer designed specifically for that!

Here's a quick video demo of how I use it:



It utilizes the powerful antioxidant (and anti-aging) benefits of wolfberry seed oil.

Some other ingredients of note are herbs that tone the skin, such as witch hazel, cucumber, and green tea.

It also features sodium hyaluronate -- a water-soluble salt of hyaluronic acid... both of which are helpful for connective tissue elasticity and supporting collagen production.

AND, it has amazing essential oils, such as sandalwood, frankincense, lavender, ylang ylang. geranium (and more).

Notice the technique of dot-dot-dot application of the moisturizer, as opposed to stretching the skin around the eyes! This helps to maintain elasticity and tone in the connective tissue.

Dark Circles
There are many reasons that dark circles can be occurring. One is lymph (or fluid) pooling... scroll down to the section on "Puffy."

I have found that when my digestion is inefficient or I'm experiencing a food sensitivity, the dark circles can get more pronounced. That's when I use Young Living's Essentialzymes-4 with my biggest meal to support the process of digestion.

When I'm not sleeping well, those circles can become darker (and bigger). Essential oils help me relax to go to sleep! There are so many options (a subject for another blog post...), but one of my favorites is Valor! I put it on the bottom of my feet, do the Valor hold, and then put a few more drops on the back of my neck!

Puffy
You can help the fluid in your face (and around your eyes) keep moving! Here's a demo video of a face massage focusing on lymphatic drainage:


Wrinkles
Wolfberry Eye Cream is designed specifically for the skin around the eyes. It pairs well with Young Living's Boswellia Wrinkle Cream! As massage therapists, when we do a face massage with clients using the Boswellia Wrinkle Cream, we can literally see a difference!

Utilize these strategies, techniques, and products together to optimize your results!

Freedom Oilers is the Young Living organization of Peter & Amy Minke

You desire essential oils for your family - and you choose the best for them, right?! Also, you desire help in learning HOW TO USE ESSENTIAL OILS to achieve powerful results to keep your family happy and healthy!

You've found an awesome resource, right here! We are Peter & Amy Minke and we have been using Young Living Essential Oils for over 26 years. We actually used other oils before that, and even some during that time, but we learned the hard way that there is a WIDE range of quality out there and the poor quality (even when they say they are tested and "pure"), can hurt you.

Please know that we only use Young Living Essential Oils – and that in our opinion and experience, you cannot expect to achieve the same results we talk about by just going out and buying essential oils. In fact, we hesitate to teach people how we use oils until we know that they have Young Living oils. You need a company committed to quality and committed to the therapeutic use of essential oils.

Why would you choose to learn from us?
We have A LOT of experience! We have 5 children and have used Young Living products through 4 pregnancies and with 5 infants (Our oldest was a baby when we found YL -- he's now 26!). We are both massage therapists and we have taught regular people as well as massage therapists to use essential oils safely and effectively for the last 26 years.

Also, Peter has a PhD in Cell Biology. (If you're interested in the science behind essential oils, ask him questions! He loves to "geek out" about the oils.) Peter served on the Scientific Advisory Board for Young Living Essential Oils. He has been a national and international trainer for Young Living, as well -- that means he travels across the country and around the world teaching people how to use essential oils!

We would love to teach you, too! :)
