Packed with anti-inflammatory and antiseptic benefits, frankincense essential oil is a favorite for using on the skin both as an astringent and to reduce signs of aging. It can also help to clear skin, reduce pore appearance, soothe razor bumps, and tighten skin anywhere on the body thanks to its astringent nature.
If you want to use frankincense to treat razor bumps, mix a few drops of the oil with a moisturizing carrier oil such as coconut or jojoba. Massage it into the affected skin gently. You can also use this combination anywhere on your body to tighten skin or improve skin appearance.
To treat acne, redness, or blemishes, mix several drops of frankincense with a carrier oil and rub it into the affected area. It will typically take around a month of consistent use for your skin to start looking brighter, clearer, and more youthful.
