Fun in the Sun
This class is all about setting you up for success in the hot summer days and on your travel journeys.
Safety & Usage
Let's start off by looking at the ways you can use Young Living essential oils and supplements.
AROMATICALLY: Put 6-8 drops of an essential oil or a combo in your diffuser. The diffuser will send the oil into the air and fill the room with the scent and beneficial properties of the oils.
TOPICALLY: Apply essential oils to your skin. Dilute your oils with a carrier oil if using topically, especially if you’ve never used them before. It is recommended that you use one drop of essential oil with 10-15 drops of coconut, olive, or almond oil and then apply it to your skin. Citrus oils like Lemon are photosensitive. Please avoid sun exposure for 12 hours after application to areas where you have applied citrus oils topically. Avoid putting essentials oils in the eyes or ears directly.
INTERNALLY: Young Living oils are pure and are labeled as Generally Regarded as Safe by the Food and Drug Administration. Because of their purity, some people like to ingest their oils to avoid "smelling" like an oil, or to support their body from the inside out. Oils that are safe for ingestion carry our Vitality Oil label.
SUPPLEMENTS: Follow the directions on each individual supplement package for proper safety and usage.
Purity is EXTREMELY important when it comes to wellness products. When you use products that are pure, you will have more effective results. Products that are formulated with synthetic ingredients may not provide any results and can potentially cause damage to your body. Young Living goes above and beyond organic standards to provide natural products that work. YL farms on land without the use of pesticides, hand weeds their fields, and tests their essential oils multiple times in million-dollar labs to provide products with the purest and highest quality chemical constituents. If a batch doesn't meet these HIGH standards, YL will not bottle it up and send it to you.

Skin Care
The excitement of longer, brighter, and warmer days can make some a little reckless when it comes to caring for their body. Did you know that too much skin exposure to the sun can not only put you at higher risk of skin cancer but also can prematurely age the skin? You want to filter out UVA and UVB light waves in order to protect your skin. If you can’t avoid the sun, then you can use sunscreen to block those waves. But what about all those chemicals found in sunscreens?! For example, do yourselves a favor and look up Oxybenzone. YUCK! Cue Young Living!
Made with ingredients you can feel good about, Young Living’s Mineral Sunscreen Lotion provides protection against UVA and UVB rays without harsh chemical ingredients. With hypoallergenic ingredients and skin-loving essential oils, including Helichrysum, Carrot Seed, and Sacred Frankincense, this gentle sunscreen rubs on smoothly, so you can effortlessly apply it when you're outdoors.
When you stay out in the sun too long, refresh and recover with Young Living’s LavaDerm After-Sun Spray. This naturally derived after-sun spray offers temporary relief from the pain and itching of minor burns, minor cuts, sunburns, scrapes, insect bites, and minor skin irritations, so your family can keep playing all day.
After that, moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Young Living’s Coconut Lime Replenishing Body Butter features Lime essential oil and uses plant-based ingredients to deeply moisturize your skin with a non-greasy formula.
Bugs
Isn’t it funny how when we are deprived of something (summer) for nine months of the year, we initially forget all of the trials and tribulations associated with it? We will all too soon be plagued by mosquitoes, gnats, and flies when all we want to do is enjoy a bonfire or walk along the beach. It’s tempting to reach for the classic insect repellant, but before you do that, flip over the bottle to see if DEET is an active ingredient.
DEET is a registered pesticide. It is a member of the toluene chemical family. Toluene is an organic solvent used in rubber, plastic cements, and paint removers. DEET is absorbed through the skin and can pass into the blood. It can cause allergic skin reactions and eye irritation. A 2013 analysis of about 4,000 DEET-related calls to poison control centers found that 450 people needed medical treatment after applying DEET, and two were fatal. Most cases of seizures, slurred speech, coma, and other serious side effects have occurred in people who ingested DEET or applied it for three or more days in a row or used products with 95% DEET or more. No, thanks. I’ll pass. Read more on DEET here!
Feeling hopeless due to lack of EFFECTIVE DEET-free alternatives? Young Living came out with an Insect Repellent that has been tested to repel mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas using 100 percent naturally derived, plant-based ingredients. Pure sesame oil and a carefully selected blend of essential oils traditionally used for their bug-repellent properties come together to make up all 99% of the active ingredients in this formula. The other 1%? Vitamin E. That means you can use it on your little ones and not worry about the synthetic chemicals used in many traditional repellents. You’ll also love the pleasant, citrusy aroma and smooth, non- sticky application.
Travel Necessities
Do you dread packing for vacation? What should you take? Do you only realize the night before you leave that you don’t have toiletries small enough for TSA? Vacations have been shown to decrease stress levels and make you more present and better focused in different areas of your life, both at work and at home. I would love to help you decrease the stress before you go!
The Framingham Heart Study showed that taking vacations can actually decrease coronary artery disease. So let’s not give yourself a heart attack from all the stress of packing before you have a chance to chill out! Rest easy, knowing Young Living has your back. Young Living has taken care of packing all your favorite products in one simple travel pack called the Bon Voyage Kit.

Tummy Time
Any travel—especially flying, even for a short trip—can wreak havoc on your digestive system for a number of reasons.
Traveling can cause acute stress.
Quality food choices or the foods you are used to can be limited or very expensive.
Finally, there’s the impact of sitting for long periods of time in a car or a plane. Did you know that getting up and walking helps your digestive system do its job?
A lot of what we just mentioned is unavoidable as you get your summer traveling in, but there are some essential oils that are perfect to apply to your abdomen to keep a happy tummy while traveling.
Peppermint essential oil (Mentha piperita) has a bright, cool, and calming aroma, with many benefits. Used topically, Peppermint oil creates a cool, tingling sensation on the skin.
DiGize blend is one of YL's most unique essential oil blends, combining Tarragon, Ginger, Peppermint, Juniper, Lemongrass, Anise, and Patchouli oils with a spicy, exotic aromatic blend. DiGize oil also includes Fennel essential oil, the use of which dates back to ancient Egypt and is great to apply to your abdomen.
Happy Tummy Roller**
Add 15 drops Digize and 10 drops Peppermint to a 10 ml roller bottle.
Fill with V6 oil or a carrier oil of your choice.
Apply to naval as needed.
**For kids dilution (age 3-8), cut the above in half.**
Joints & Muscles
One of the best feelings after long, stationary hours of traveling is that first stretch when you get to your destination. Do you want to enhance that experience? Apply Deep Relief Roll-On! It contains essential oils, including Peppermint, Wintergreen, Dorado Azul, and Helichrysum. It's convenient for a quick, cooling relief on your joints.
You can also try PanAway oil, a combination of Wintergreen, Helichrysum, Clove, and Peppermint essential oils. This popular blend comes in the Premium Starter Kit. Uses include applying it to tired muscles after exercise or to the neck and back any time of day to enjoy its soothing and stimulating aroma.
Sleep
Have you ever had trouble sleeping in a foreign place? Or woke up a million times during the night, causing you to start the next day feeling unrested? As if getting that good night's sleep wasn’t difficult enough at home, now you have the stress of travel and the unfamiliar environment in which you’re now attempting to catch those Zzzs.
If you’re looking for a knock-out combo to have you waking up feeling rested and energized, we highly recommend a Lavender-Cedarwood combo. Not only does sleep make you feel better, but it is key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Sleep can improve your memory, curb harmful inflammation in your body, lower stress, and help you achieve a healthy weight. The list goes on.
Don't forget your diffuser when you travel! Mix 4-8 drops each of Lavender and Cedarwood in a diffuser at night. Some call this combo “Sleeping Sheep” because you won’t even need to count any sheep!
Lavender has a scent that is fresh, floral, clean, and calm. Cedarwood has a warm, woodsy aroma that creates a comforting, uplifting experience. You can also create a calming yet powerful environment when you diffuse this oil or add it to massage oil blends.
Another great oil for sleep... Valerian. Valerian essential oil possesses an earthy smell that promotes feelings of relaxation and eases the occasional restlessness that can keep you from unwinding in the evening. Diffuse this valiant oil for the perfect bedtime ritual, or massage it into the bottoms of your feet after a long day to foster moments of peace.
Be Well
As much as you love to travel, it does put you in contact with a lot of other people. Even if you are not traveling by air and getting exposed to all the people at airports, you will still be introduced to more people and with more people comes more…… you know. Always take Thieves Spray and Thieves Hand Sanitizer with you!
You know the obvious ways of taking care of yourself by getting good sleep, staying well hydrated, washing your hands frequently with warm water and soap. Stay above the wellness line when you travel with a “Be Well” roller of essential oils. Apply this roller on your feet and along your spine every night before sleep.
Be Well Roller (10ml bottle)**
20 drops Lemon
10 drops Frankincense
10 drops Oregano
10 drops Tea Tree
10 drops Thieves
10 drops Peppermint
Fill the rest with a carrier oil.
**If it’s for kiddos 3-8 years old, then cut everything down to ¼-½ depending on how sensitive they are.**
Calming
Traveling can be stressful, no matter how much time you give yourself for preparation. Travel inevitably brings some degree of occasional stress and you and I both know that things don't always go as planned. Luckily, Young Living has several essential oils and blends that can help promote feelings of calm and ground you during the occasional stress of travel. They can also give you a boost so that you can get through whatever is thrown at you!
Valor essential oil blend is one of our most popular products and a favorite of founder D. Gary Young. Its woodsy, positive scent comes from a blend of Black Spruce, Camphor, Blue Tansy, Frankincense, and Geranium. In fact, it’s so popular that orders are limited to two bottles per month. Get your hands on the Valor Roll-on! It's so convenient and a great way to get MORE VALOR!
Peace & Calming essential oil (also available in a Roll-on) is a gentle, sweet blend of Ylang Ylang, Orange, Tangerine, Patchouli, and Blue Tansy. Peace & Calming oil creates a relaxing environment that’s especially great for homes with children.
Stress Away essential oil blend (also available in a Roll-on) is the first product to contain the unique combination of Lime essential oil and Vanilla extract. The distinct mix of Vanilla and Lime gives Stress Away essential oil blend its unique and pleasant aroma, among other benefits. With a perfectly balanced aroma of both tropical and citrus notes, it offers you a uniquely relaxing oasis in a fast-paced world. All THREE of these oils come in the Oils Premium Starter Kit!!
