In recent weeks, I’ve received quite a few questions about persistent itchy or dry skin patches and even hair loss. Toxicity in our daily environment, especially in personal care and household products, is one of the most overlooked yet crucial factors in skin and hair health.
The fastest route for toxins to exit the body is through the skin. When organs like the liver and kidneys become overburdened with toxins, the body channels them out through the skin, often resulting in irritation or inflammation.
Alarming research has shown that indoor toxicity levels can be higher than outdoor ones. However, here’s the good news: you are in control of what you allow in your home and on your skin.
Here are 8 simple steps you can take today to start eliminating toxins from your life, with safer and effective alternatives from Young Living.
Step 1: Ditch the Commercial Cleaning Products
Start by removing all conventional cleaning products from your home. The ingredients in most commercial cleaners—chlorine, phthalates, artificial fragrances, and more—can contribute to hair loss, hormone disruption, and skin irritation. Dispose of these products safely, as they can also harm the environment if not handled properly.
Step 2: Switch to Thieves Cleaner
A powerful, plant-based cleaner, Young Living’s Thieves Cleaner is a game-changer. It’s incredibly versatile; I use it for everything from cleaning windows and countertops to bathrooms. Plus, it’s environmentally friendly and you will safe a lot of money compared to commercial cleaning products.

Step 3: Overhaul Your Personal Care Products
Repeat the process with your beauty and personal care items. Yes, this means tossing some expensive products, but in the long term, it’s a step toward a healthier you. Toxic ingredients in beauty products can accumulate over time, leading to skin sensitivity, dryness, and hormonal imbalances.
Step 4: Use Young Living’s Safe Beauty Products
Young Living offers toxin-free alternatives, like their Bloom or Balance skincare line, shampoos, and the Thieves toothpaste. Since switching, I no longer need body moisturizer—my skin stays hydrated naturally. For my face, I love Bloom skin cleanser and apply essential oils like Myrrh, Sacred Frankincense diluted with V6. After a few months, you might notice healthier skin, thicker hair, and an improved mood.
Step 5: Cleanse from the Inside Out
After you have eliminated or reduced the future toxic load it is time to cleanse from the inside out. We did the elimination diet for one months and were surprised by the results. https://www.travellingbowl.com/post/a-journey-to-health-vitality-and-nourishment-the-elimination-diet We eliminated: sugar (processed sugar), gluten, eggs, dairy, pork, canola oil, soy and corn. Food sensitivity test are often not accurate. With the elimination diet you can add on the food triggers one at a time and observe what your triggers are.
Step 6: Liver Support with Essential Oils
For adults, applying Release and JuvaCleanse over the liver area can assist in detoxification. These oils support the liver’s natural detoxifying processes, making it easier for your body to manage environmental stressors.
Step 7: Add Sulfurzyme and Probiotics
Sulfurzyme and probiotics like Life 9 support your gut and immune system. Sulfurzyme aids in collagen production, while probiotics promote a healthy gut, which is essential for skin health. For babies and toddlers, a pinch of Life 9 in rice milk or another liquid works wonders.
