Not convinced that you’ll use Young Living’s Premium Starter Kit oils in your day-to-day life?
I totally get that.
When I was first looking into essential oils and discovered the Premium Starter Kit, I knew I’d use a couple of the oils for sure- like lavender, peppermint, and lemon. But I was unsure of the other oils that came in the kit.
I decided to ask for the Premium Starter Kit for my college graduation present. When the oils came in the mail, I was so excited to learn how to use them!
I have since fallen in love with the Premium Starter Kit oils. Young Living has seriously put together such a great kit and there’s an essential oil from the starter kit for almost all of my needs!
Today I wanted to share with you how I personally use each of the Premium Starter Kit oils. There are many other ways these oils can be used, but in this post, I don’t want to talk about the ways that I haven’t tried out myself.
So, without further ado, let’s dive in!
How I Use The Premium Starter Kit Oils
How I Use Lavender Essential Oil
- All things SKIN!!
- When I forget to apply sunscreen, lavender soothes my lobster-turned skin LOL!
- It can help with blemishes on my face. I prefer Frankincense for this, but lavender can work as well.
- After walking too much in the wrong shoes, lavender comforts my feet.
- All things SLEEP!
- I apply lavender to my feet at night to help me fall asleep.
- I diffuse lavender to create a peaceful atmosphere in my bedroom at night.
- This doesn’t come in the starter kit, but I love using the lavender body lotion at night on my hands.
How I Use Frankincense Essential Oil
- SKIN SUPPORT!!
- Like I mentioned above, frankincense is my go-to oil for blemishes now.
- I rub one drop of frankincense onto my face every night to support healthy skin. Frankincense also has a very calming scent so this helps me wind down for the night.
- Immune System Support
- I recently made a roller bottle with frankincense and Thieves to support my immune system. I roll them down my spine before I go out and about.
- Diffusing for Calm and Grounding
- I honestly rarely diffuse frankincense anymore because I want to save it all for my skin haha!
- But when I do diffuse it, the scent is very grounding and calming. I like to diffuse it during my quiet times. Because, you know, Jesus had frankincense.
How I Use Peppermint Vitality Essential Oil
- BROWNIES!!!
- I add about three drops to a brownie mix to make peppermint brownies. Seriously so much yumminess!
- Diffusing It
- Just because the oil is a vitality oil doesn’t mean you can’t diffuse it like your other oils!
- I diffuse peppermint whenever I have head tension.
- I also diffuse it with lemon in the mornings to wake myself up.
- Bathroom Support
- LOL, is that a thing?
- I occasionally put one drop in the toilet if I’m having trouble going. That’s all I’m gonna say about that LOL.
How I Use Lemon Vitality Essential Oil
- Diffuse It
- Like I said above, I combine lemon with peppermint in the mornings to help wake myself up.
- I also like to diffuse this with Valor.
- Or by itself- creates a fresh, clean scent and can replace chemical-filled air fresheners.
- Sticky-Remover
- When I moved into my apartment, my kitchen closet doorknob had this sticky substance on it, almost like the previous resident’s child had chocolate on their hands when they opened the door. Yuck. I put lemon on a paper towel and rubbed it on the doorknob and it came right off!
How I Use Citrus Fresh Vitality Essential Oil
- Diffuse It
- I diffuse it for a fresh scent and it makes my kitchen smell really nice and clean! Goodbye air fresheners!!
- Add it to Thieves Household Cleaner
- I add a few drops to the spray bottle of Thieves Household Cleaner that I keep in my kitchen. It makes my kitchen smell citrusy after I clean it.
- What is it about citrus smells that make us think “Clean?”
How I Use Thieves Vitality Essential Oil
- Immune Support
- Like I mentioned before, I made a roller bottle with Thieves and frankincense to roll on before I go out and about.
- I also diffuse this during the fall through the early spring when I come home from teaching at school.
- Candle Replacement
- Thieves has a lovely fall scent and diffusing it can easily replace fall candles.
How I Use Raven Essential Oil
I’m not as familiar with Raven because when I first got my oils in 2017 it wasn’t a part of the starter kit. However, I have found one thing I like to use it for!
- Respiratory Support
- I have opened the bottle and inhaled directly from the bottle when my nose was feeling stuffy.
How I Use DiGize Vitality Essential Oil
- Digestive Support
- I rub this on my tummy whenever it’s needing some extra love.
- Not a great smelling oil, but it works!
How I Use Valor Essential Oil
- Courage
- I put some on my wrists before my most stressful class to teach started. And then I would hold my wrists to my face and breathe deeply and inhale the scent and think “I can do this! I can teach these teenagers Spanish!” LOL!
- I diffused Valor the first evening that I moved into my apartment. I always feel nervous when sleeping in a new space and Valor gave me a boost of confidence.
- Skin Support!!!
- In March, I googled each of the ingredients of Valor with the phrase “skin support” afterward and was AMAZED at how amazing each of the oils that comprise this blend is for your skin.
- So now, Valor is a part of my daily morning skincare routine. I rub one drop all over my face and it makes my skin glow! :)
How I Use PanAway Essential Oil
- Post-Workout Support
- I made a dropper bottle with PanAway and coconut oil and I rub it on my muscles after a hard workout. (You need to dilute PanAway so it won’t hurt your skin.)
- Cramps
- I rub the PanAway/coconut oil mixture on my abdomen when I’m not feeling great once a month. Seriously amazing!
How I Use Stress Away Essential Oil
- Diffuse It
- I diffuse Stress Away all. the. time! It smells SOOOOOO good! Like a vacation in a bottle!
- Sleep Support
- I rub Stress Away on my wrists every night to help me wind down and fall asleep. Sometimes I think this works better for me than Lavender!
- Natural Perfume
- I put this on my wrists before I go out on a date. It puts me in a great mood and it makes me smell pretty! Win-win!
How I Use Peace and Calming Essential Oil
This oil is also new to me as it didn’t come in my 2017 Premium Starter Kit. This is how I’ve used it since I got it in February 2020…
- Shower Diffuser
- At night I sometimes like to put a few drops of this at the back base of my shower. The steam from the water acts as a sort of diffuser and makes my bathroom smell all nice and calm while I take my shower.
- Diffuse It
- I’ve diffused this once or twice at night to create a peaceful and calm environment before bed.
So those are the ways I’ve used the Premium Starter Kit oils.
I absolutely love how Young Living has put together this kit. There’s seriously an oil for all your basic needs in this kit! And there are even MORE ways you can use these oils that I haven’t even discovered yet!
In one of my team’s Facebook groups, someone once posted a list of “101 Things You Can Do With The Premium Starter Kit Oils” and I was amazed after reading it. So many of the listed ways I had never thought of! A few of the items on the list were things I had done with the oils but had forgotten about (such as the peppermint in the toilet trick lol!).
I am so grateful for my team’s Facebook groups that educate me on how to use these oils. Last week I discovered that my team also has a private website with hacks for how to use the oils and other Young Living products. This would be so great for you if you don’t have a Facebook!
If you’re ready to start your oily journey and get your own Premium Starter Kit, you can click here to get started! If you’d like a step-by-step tutorial of how to sign up, I got you covered there too!
Once you sign up, I’ll send you links to the different Facebook groups & the educational website so you can start learning how to use the oils! :) You’ll also get a welcome present from me in the mail soon!
If you’re not ready to get started yet, that’s totally okay too! Come join me over on Instagram to see how I use the oils on a day-to-day basis :) (@kara_beth17)
