Golden Rules for Safety Skin Sensitivity

Educated People are Empowered People! We are all about empowering health & wellbeing for your whole family. In Young Living, we are not permitted to make any therapeutic claims about our products. This has nothing to do with their quality – it’s simply to do with our local labelling laws So please don’t ask us which oils can be used for different ailments or injuries, because we are not able to answer you! Instead, we strongly recommend you do your own research through Google, pubmed.com and/or the plethora of reference books available out there.

Why Young Living? In brief, Young Living is the World Leader in Essential Oils. We own 11 farms around the World plus working with our Partner Farms educating them to our rigorous Seed To Seal Process. For more information visit www.seedtoseal.com Copyright © 2016 Zing Life. All rights reserved.

If you get an oil somewhere you shouldn’t, for instance in your eye, OR an oil gets uncomfortable on your skin, for instance Oregano can sometimes feel hot or itchy:  ALWAYS reach for vegetable or nut oil, like V6 or olive oil. This will dilute the essential oil and stop the discomfort.  DO NOT use water – this will drive the essential oil in further and make it more intense. So if you get an essential oil in your eye, squirt vegetable or nut oil in it. If you don’t have any vegetable oil to hand, anything with a fat content will help – so you could also use butter or full fat milk in an emergency!

Photosensitive Some oils are photosensitive – that means if you put those oils on skin and expose that skin to UV light, it can cause a brown mark which then has to grow out (can take 8-10 weeks!). In extreme cases it can cause dermatitis. It’s mainly the citrus oils & blends containing citrus, so pop those oils under clothing or on the soles of your feet if you’re going out in the sun. To find out which essential oils and blends are photosensitive, just look for the yellow sun symbol in the Product Guide that came with your PSK. 3
