Easy Summer Skincare Swaps for Busy Moms: Featuring the doTERRA Sun Line + Frankincense
Summer is here—and if you're anything like most moms I know, you're juggling sunscreen reapplications between snack duty, pool bags, and keeping everyone hydrated. The last thing you need is a complicated skincare routine. That’s why I’m sharing my favorite easy, effective, and toxin-free swaps using doTERRA’s Sun line and the ever-powerful Frankincense.
Why Summer Skincare Needs a Rethink
Between sun exposure, sweat, and sunscreen build-up, our skin takes a beating during the summer months. Add in late nights, chlorine, or salt water, and it’s no wonder our skin starts to feel dull, dry, or irritated.
That’s where a few smart product swaps come in—keeping your skin glowing, protected, and nourished without adding stress or complexity to your day.
Meet the doTERRA Sun Line
This trio has earned a permanent spot in my beach bag, diaper bag, and bathroom cabinet. It’s clean, gentle, and packed with ingredients your skin actually loves.
1. Daily Mineral Sunscreen (Face + Body)
Forget greasy, chalky drugstore SPF. This reef-safe mineral sunscreen goes on smooth, absorbs quickly, and smells like a tropical vacation (thanks to essential oils like Frankincense, Helichrysum, and Carrot Seed).
It offers:
Broad-spectrum SPF 30
Water-resistant (80 mins)
Nourishing ingredients like aloe and vitamin E
NO harsh chemicals or synthetic fragrances
Perfect for everyday wear—whether you’re heading to the park, the beach, or just out running errands.
2. Moisturizing Face Lotion with SPF
If you're someone who forgets sunscreen unless it's already in your skincare (hi, yes—me too), this one’s for you.
This lightweight, non-comedogenic face lotion delivers moisture and sun protection in one step. It layers beautifully under makeup (if you’re wearing any in this heat!) and is safe for sensitive skin.
Quick tip: Add one drop of Frankincense essential oil to your pump of moisturizer for an extra glow and deeper skin support. Frankincense helps minimize the appearance of fine lines, promotes even skin tone, and soothes sun-exposed skin.
3. After Sun Soothing Spray
This might just be the MVP of summer skincare. Whether your shoulders got a little crispy after a beach day or your kids are red from pool time, this spray is your soothing solution.
It’s infused with:
Aloe vera for cooling
Frankincense, Lavender, and Helichrysum to calm skin
Natural moisturizers to prevent peeling or dryness
Pro tip: Layer the Frankincense Stick right on top of the spray for a double dose of nourishment. The stick helps seal in moisture and supports skin regeneration, especially on areas like the nose, shoulders, and chest.
Why Frankincense Is a Summer Must-Have
Often called the “king of oils,” Frankincense does so much more than just support emotional wellness—it’s a skincare powerhouse. In summer especially, it helps with:
Soothing inflamed skin (hello sunburn and bug bites)
Minimizing dark spots from sun exposure
Calming breakouts due to sweat and clogged pores
Hydrating + firming the skin to fight that dull summer texture
Use it:
Neat (undiluted) on the skin for specific concerns
In your daily moisturizer (just 1 drop is plenty)
With the After Sun Spray for healing and protection
Make the Switch (Without the Overwhelm)
You don’t need to overhaul your whole routine—just a few thoughtful swaps can transform how your skin looks and feels this summer. And best of all? These products are safe for the whole family.
