Young Living 1/2: Rose Ointment

I was recently contacted by a Young Living representative (@frankincenseandvalor), and was asked if there were any products I would be interested in trying. I jumped at the opportunity because as a matter of fact- I was JUST talking to my coworkers about starting to use more body friendly products. As I scrolled through the website, this one particular product caught my attention. Other than the adorable hot pink packaging, the word "rose" really peaked my interest as I normally gravitate to anything including that ingredient. 

I read what the product was best used for, and knew I'd be interested in trying it. She then promptly created my order, and shipped out a wonderful package with more than just the Rose Ointment inside (my next post will dive into the rest!) Here I would like to share my genuine thoughts on the product:

I personally love to use the ointment on my lips right before bed. I have chosen to keep it on my bedside table for easy/quick access (I really can not go to sleep unless my lips are moisturized.) It is also suggested you apply to areas on the body that get dry easily (such as your hands, elbows, knees, and ankles!) I have also found applying to my cuticles helps tremendously (being a hairdresser, my hands take quite the beating.) The scent is lovely, but very earthy. If you are familiar with Aveda products, it has a very similar vibe. I personally am used to/love the more natural scent. Knowing I am using natural, healthy ingredients near my mouth/absorbing into my skin makes me even more thankful for this product! One more thing I'd like to note is a little goes a long way- you only need to use a small amount per area on your body. The texture looks bees-wax like, but once the product is worked in with your hands + the natural heat of your body, it begins to melt and disperse easily. Thanks to the balm texture, the lasting power of is even better compared to the normal liquid moisturizer. Don't let the little guy fool ya!
