Many people suffer from dry skin, whether from the cold dry air of winter or the summer heat, dry skin is a common struggle for most people.

Studies have proven that frankincense essential oil helps with combating dry skin as well as alleviating stress and pain. When used as an ingredient in skin care products, frankincense essential oil is a great way to treat dry skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, age spots and stretch marks. Known as the “Holy Grail” of essential oils, frankincense offers restorative and regenerative properties for the skin. Not only does it help reverse damage caused by UV rays, but it also rejuvenates skin, eliminates scars, and evens out blemishes.

This enchanted oil comes from dried sap of trees in the Boswellia genus that are grown in Oman, Yemen and the Horn of Africa, including Somalia and Ethiopia. When dried, the sap is burned as incense, turned into an oil, among a plethora of other uses.
Though, there are various methods in which you can apply frankincense to your skin, this oil can be used topically on the skin when diluted with a carrier oil. Frankincense essential oil is commonly used in skin care and beauty care products. This is not just because of the pleasant scent it gives off. The essential oil can strengthen skin health and add elasticity to the skin. Most importantly, it does this all while providing the same antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits!
