My Natural Daily Skin Care Routine | Yarrow Pom Essential Oil

I am a low-maintenance gal, and up until this past year, I wouldn’t really have had a daily skin care routine to share.

But I am in my 30s now, and I decided it was probably about time to stop skipping right past everything that says “younger-looking skin.”

As you all know, I love to make my own products and pretty much make everything in my house. I have made my own face wash, moisturizers, deodorant, and even makeup.

The makeup thing didn’t really work out. I could never master the waterproofing part. Maybe I will try again sometime.

About six months ago, I started using the doTERRA Verage skincare line, and I am absolutely loving it. I noticed a difference in how my skin looked right away, and so did my husband.

On top of that, I use a few essential oils. I am going to walk you through exactly what I do and why, and believe me, it does not take long.

Like I said, I am very low maintenance when it comes to this kind of thing.

My Simple Natural Skincare Routine

My whole routine comes down to a few natural products used in the same order every day: a cleanser, toner, serum, and moisturizer, followed by a couple of my favorite essential oils. Here is how it goes, step by step.

The doTERRA Verage Skincare Line

This skincare line comes with a cleanser, toner, hydrating serum, and moisturizer. It is made with natural ingredients, and each product has essential oils in it.

It is wonderfully moisturizing and hydrating, and it helps soften the look of fine lines and even out the appearance of my skin tone. You can find this natural skincare line here.

The Cleanser

After wetting my face with warm water, I use the Verage cleanser.

You don’t need a lot, one pump will do. The cleanser has wild orange, basil, and melaleuca in it, which help cleanse and purify the skin while leaving it feeling moisturized and soft.

I massage it in, let it sit for a minute, then rinse with warm water.

The Toner

Following the cleanser, I use the Verage toner. It helps the skin feel tightened and look more even.

I spray it directly onto my face and rub it in. It has ylang ylang, coriander, cypress, and palmarosa essential oils in it.

If you love a good toner, I also have a recipe for a DIY facial toner you can make at home.

The Hydrating Serum

This is my favorite product in the line. After the toner, I smooth this serum over my face.

It smells amazing and is made up of some of the most prized essential oils. With rose, frankincense, myrrh, Hawaiian sandalwood, lavender, and helichrysum, this stuff is the icing on the cake.

The Moisturizer

Finally, I finish with the Verage moisturizer.

This is a must-have during the winter months when my skin gets dry. I have even used it on my arms a few times when I was desperate.

Again, it is made with natural ingredients and essential oils, with several floral oils that make it smell wonderful. If you would rather make your own, here is my homemade face moisturizer.

Yarrow Pom (a.k.a. Blueberry Oil)

After I finish the four Verage products, I rub a little yarrow pom oil into my face. My kids call it blueberry oil because it is bright blue, and yes, you will look like a smurf for a minute.

Don’t worry, it rubs right in. It is a newer essential oil, and my skin looks and feels great since I added it to my routine.

Why I Love Yarrow Pom in My Routine

• The “pom” stands for pomegranate seed oil, which is wonderfully nourishing for the skin.
• It leaves my skin looking smooth and youthful.
• It helps soften the look of fine lines and even out my skin tone.
• It is a pretty addition to my routine for the look of age spots.

I love the soft, earthy scent too.

I apply it topically twice a day, right after my moisturizer.

My Anti-Aging Roller Bottle

As part of my routine, I like to roll a simple anti-aging blend over my face, paying close attention to the area around my eyes for the look of crow’s feet. Like all essential oils, you don’t want to get these in your eyes, so go carefully around that area.

Ideally I would do this at the very end of my routine, but I don’t always remember. So I keep the roller in my makeup bag and my diaper bag.

If it is handy, I remember to roll it on when I see it. Something is better than nothing, right?

My Weekly Mud Mask

I have a mud mask that I really love.

It is also made by doTERRA. It isn’t something I do daily, but rather weekly or every other week.

My daughter likes to do it with me, so we turn it into a little girls’ night. It is infused with myrrh, juniper berry, and grapefruit.

It leaves my skin feeling soft and soothed and helps minimize the look of my pores. If you would like to make your own, try my rose clay face mask or my glowing skin face mask.

Fractionated Coconut Oil Makeup Remover

Fractionated coconut oil is my go-to makeup remover.

It works amazingly well, even on mascara. Simply dab a little under the eye, rub it in, and wipe it away.

You can use it on your whole face when you need to take off makeup anywhere else too. It is one of the simplest, most budget-friendly beauty swaps I have made.
