Summer Skin Challenge Essentials

We're so glad you've decided to join us for our Summer Skin Challenge! This resource is one handy place to find everything you need to know!

It's summertime and we're ready to enjoy the sun and the fun, but what if we constantly feel the need to cover up, hide, and avoid showing our skin? What if we're constantly worried about exposure to the outside world and wishing we looked and felt differently? Look no further. 

First, your body is epic. It tells a story of you and your experiences, and we just love it. We want to help you love it too! Second, we have this tendency to OVERDO it. So before you have drastic surgeries, start overhauling your whole diet, and bench press 500 pounds, how about we discuss some small and simple steps to start you on your journey? Are you in?

 Summer Skin Challenge items (and other favorites for summer!)
What you will do:
  • Take one scoop of Inner Beauty Collagen with water, Ningxia, or a smoothie.
  • Apply Cel-Lite Magic Massage Oil all over the skin, focusing on any trouble spots on the legs, arms, belly, etc. This will be even more effective if done after dry brushing and/or showering. Optional - up your skin care by adding Cypress and Grapefruit to the massage oil.
  • Drink NingXia Red daily!
  • Move your body for at least 15 minutes each day.
That's it. There's no more to it. Literally will take minutes, and you will not believe the results! Include the family of all ages, invite friends, and share the fun. The only thing better than getting amazing results is watching people you care about do the same!

Cypress Essential Oil

Nickname: The Chill Pill

Description: When our inside health needs attention, our body starts speaking to us. If your body is saying that you need to breathe easy and release irritations, Blue Cypress may be the chill factor you’re looking for. Just as it’s cool, smooth color suggests, this oil helps to calm agitation. From the initial roots of stress and maintaining a robust respiratory system all the way out to our skin, Blue Cypress helps soothe our body, mind, and emotions.

  • Create an at-home spa. Take time for self-care with a DIY massage oil - a dab of V-6 carrier and a few drops of Blue Cypress. This is especially great for tired legs that have been standing or walking all day!
  • Nourish with nature. Add a drop of this crisp evergreen oil to your moisturizer to refine your complexion.
  • Diffuse away the blues. Pair Blue Cypress with Peace & Calming, Tangerine, Cedarwood or Geranium to calm the mind and support the emotions. Blue Cypress is a key ingredient in multiple emotionally supportive oils like Release and Sara!
Grapefruit Essential Oil

A natural cross of the pomelo and the sweet orange, grapefruit likely originated in Jamaica before spreading to America and throughout citrus-growing areas. Today this evergreen tree is cultivated in the United States, South Africa, Brazil, and Israel.

NingXia Red

It's no secret that we are crazy about NingXia Red. Use this incredible supplement for 30 consecutive days and you'll see why! 

Honestly, we're better people when we drink it. Sound a little far-fetched? Think about it. Do cars run better when fueled by the right gas? Yep. Yet we often expect our bodies to run on second-rate, processed, non-fuel. We get worn out, our digestive systems get tired, our cells get dirty, and we need something we can assimilate quickly and easily to go to work. NingXia gives our bodies the boost that we need!
