Frankincense Oil For Face

Frankincense essential oil is commonly used on the face to treat acne, oily skin, or other blemishes thanks to its anti-inflammatory, astringent, and antiseptic properties. It can also help to fight signs of aging, making it a good choice for more mature skin.

To use frankincense oil on your face, mix a few drops with your favorite moisturizer or carrier oil and massage it into your skin. If you are trying to treat acne, use a frankincense and carrier oil combination in the mornings to fight oily skin all day. For drier skin types, combining frankincense with your favorite moisturizer or eye cream at the end of the day will be more beneficial.

Another great way to use frankincense is to create a quick facial steam with it – add a few drops of the oil to a warm washcloth and then lay it over your face for about a minute before wiping your face clean. Your skin will benefit and you will feel calmer after breathing in the relaxing frankincense scent.
