Natural Skin Care

Ditch toxins and nourish your skin the natural way!

April 28, 20254 min read

Hey, it’s Ronai!

Let’s talk skin. Your body’s largest organ works overtime protecting you from the elements, but what are you doing for it in return? Slapping on whatever lotion was on sale and hoping for the best? Not today! If you want glowy, healthy skin without the junk, it’s time to ditch the toxins and get real about what you’re putting on your face and body.

Good skincare isn’t just about looking fabulous (though, let’s be honest, that’s a perk). It’s about keeping your skin nourished, protected, and thriving. So let’s dive into what works, what doesn’t, and how to build a skincare routine that actually makes sense.


Step 1: Stop Feeding Your Skin Junk

Your skin absorbs what you put on it, so if your moisturizer is packed with synthetic fragrances, parabens, and petroleum-based ingredients, your body is dealing with more than just dryness—it’s fighting off unnecessary toxins.

What to Look for Instead:

  • Plant-based hydration – Your skin loves ingredients like aloe vera, jojoba, and tallow (yep, we’ll get to that DIY magic in a minute).

  • Essential oils – Naturally soothing, repairing, and hydrating.

  • Mineral-based SPF – No more chemical sunscreens wreaking havoc on your skin barrier.

  • pH-balanced cleansers – Because stripping your face with harsh soaps is not the answer.


Step 2: Find Your Perfect doTERRA Skincare Match

doTERRA doesn’t just do oils—they’ve got an entire lineup of clean skincare products to fit your routine.

Step 3: DIY Beeswax & Tallow Lotion – Your Skin’s New Best Friend

Forget store-bought lotions loaded with preservatives—this DIY recipe is simple, nourishing, and completely natural.

Why Tallow?

Tallow (rendered beef fat) is loaded with skin-loving vitamins A, D, E, and K and has a fatty acid profile nearly identical to human skin. That means deep hydration without clogging pores.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup grass-fed tallow (softened)

  • 2 tbsp beeswax pellets

  • 1/4 cup jojoba or sweet almond oil

  • 10 drops doTERRA Frankincense (skin renewal & anti-aging)

  • 10 drops doTERRA Lavender (calming & soothing)

  • 5 drops doTERRA Helichrysum (skin repair & glow)

Instructions:

  1. Melt beeswax and jojoba oil over low heat in a double boiler.

  2. Stir in tallow until fully combined.

  3. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then add essential oils.

  4. Whip with a hand mixer for a light, fluffy texture.

  5. Store in a glass jar and apply anytime your skin needs extra hydration.


Step 4: Protect Your Skin – Sun Care the Right Way

You wouldn’t spend all this time nourishing your skin just to let the sun wreck it, right? Protecting your skin from UV damage is non-negotiable.

doTERRA Sun Care Line

  • doTERRA Sun Face + Body Mineral Sunscreen Lotion – SPF 30, lightweight, non-toxic protection.

  • doTERRA Sun Body Mineral Sunscreen Spray – Easy application, broad-spectrum coverage.

  • doTERRA Sun Stick – Portable, mess-free SPF that fits in any bag.

  • doTERRA Sun After-Sun Spray – Hydrates and soothes post-sun skin with Aloe and essential oils.

Why Mineral Sunscreen?

Unlike chemical sunscreens, mineral SPF sits on top of your skin, reflecting UV rays instead of absorbing them. That means less irritation, no hormone-disrupting chemicals, and no toxic buildup.

Final Thought: Love Your Skin, Love Your Ingredients

Skincare doesn’t have to be complicated—or filled with garbage ingredients. Ditch the toxins, nourish your skin, and protect it naturally. Whether you go with doTERRA’s skincare lines, whip up your own tallow-based lotion, or keep it simple with sun protection, your skin will thank you.

Now go glow, hydrate, and show your skin some love!
