DETOX PERSONAL CARE

When I build a Personalized Active Care Plan for a client, one of the four pillars we always look at is removing interference. This includes anything that’s fighting against the healing your body is trying to do—things like inflammatory foods, toxic thoughts, overused supplements, and especially, the products you use every single day.


Your skin is your largest organ. What goes on it doesn’t just sit there—it gets absorbed, breathed in, or ingested in small amounts. And over time, that exposure adds up.


The Truth About Personal Care Products


Most people assume if it’s on a store shelf, it must be safe. The reality? That’s not always the case. In the U.S., personal care products don’t go through strict safety testing, and companies aren’t required to list every ingredient. “Fragrance” can be a catch-all for hundreds of hidden chemicals. Even products marketed as “hypoallergenic” or “natural” often don’t live up to the label.

That’s why I turn to doTERRA—because I trust what’s in their products, and more importantly, what’s not.


What I Use and Recommend: doTERRA Personal Care Swaps


If you're serious about healing—physically, mentally, emotionally—your morning and nighttime routines matter. Here’s where I recommend making easy but powerful swaps using doTERRA’s toxin-free options:


Skincare + Body Care


Swap out:
Chemical-laced lotions, aftershaves, facial serums

Use instead:

doTERRA HD Clear® Facial System – Targets breakouts and supports healthy skin using pure essential oils like Tea Tree, Black Cumin, and Geranium.

doTERRA Verage® Skincare Collection – Plant-based hydration and skin balance with oils like Frankincense and Ylang Ylang.

DIY Body Oil or Balm – After a shower, I use fractionated coconut oil with a few drops of
Frankincense, Lavender, or Copaiba for hydration and recovery.


Deodorant


Swap out:
Aluminum-based, synthetic-scented deodorants

Use instead:

doTERRA Balance® or Citrus Bloom® Deodorant – Aluminum-free, no artificial fragrance, and infused with grounding or uplifting oils that actually support your mood throughout the day.


Oral Health


Swap out:
Toothpaste with fluoride, artificial sweeteners, or dyes

Use instead:
doTERRA On Guard® Natural Whitening Toothpaste – Supports oral health and immune function without any of the junk. Tastes great and leaves your mouth actually feeling clean.


Hair Care


Swap out:
Sulfate-heavy shampoos and conditioners

Use instead:

doTERRA Protecting Shampoo + Daily Conditioner – Clean, plant-based, and infused with oils like Peppermint and Eucalyptus. My scalp and hair have never felt healthier.


Sun Protection


Swap out:
Chemical sunscreens that irritate skin or disrupt hormones

Use instead:

doTERRA Sun Mineral Sunscreen Lotion (SPF 30) – Reef-safe, skin-safe, and actually enjoyable to use. Lightweight and perfect for daily protection.


Final Thoughts


Healing doesn’t just happen from the inside out. It also happens when we remove the daily burdens our bodies have been carrying. When you reduce your toxic load, you create space for your body to function the way God designed it to—clear, strong, and fully alive.

You don’t have to swap everything at once. Start with what you use most often: toothpaste, deodorant, lotion. Build from there.

If you're not sure where to start, I’d be glad to help you figure out what your next right step looks like.
