Frankincense - The Unknown Treasure Your Skin Will Love
Frankincense — The Unknown Treasure Your Skin Will Love
Frankincense has been treasured for thousands of years. Fun fact: it was used in medicine and beauty rituals long before modern skincare existed. What most people don’t know is that this aromatic tree oil is incredibly soothing and supportive for the skin—especially when blended with other nourishing oils.
Let’s look at why this gentle, underrated treasure matters and how it brings harmony to your skin.
What Is Frankincense?
A little science: Frankincense comes from the sap of the Boswellia tree. When the tree is tapped, it releases a golden, sticky sap that hardens into beads. These beads are then steam-distilled into a beautifully fragrant oil known for its calming, skin-supporting properties.
In skincare, frankincense is loved for its ability to reduce visible redness, soothe irritation, and support a more balanced, refined-looking complexion.
Skin Benefits of Frankincense
1. Naturally Soothes Redness and Irritation
Frankincense has gentle anti-inflammatory properties, making it a great choice for:
-
sensitive or reactive skin
-
stressed or over-exfoliated skin
-
redness-prone areas
It helps the skin feel calmer, softer, and more comfortable.
2. Helps Improve Skin Texture
Frankincense can help the skin look smoother and more refined. With consistent use, it may help your complexion appear:
-
more even
-
softer
-
more polished
From my own experience using it—your skin just feels better.
3. Provides a Gentle Aromatherapeutic Effect
Frankincense has a naturally calming scent. It’s subtle and doesn’t linger, but it adds a soothing, grounding moment to your routine—almost like a mini reset for your mind and skin.
4. Works Beautifully With Other Skin-Supporting Oils
Frankincense blends naturally with castor oil, jojoba oil, and Vitamin E. Together, they create a formula that is calming, hydrating, and incredibly easy for the skin to accept.
Frankincense works best with a supporting cast.
