Early signs of aging are often caused by an unhealthy lifestyle, exposure to increasing pollution, too much stress, and not having a good skincare routine. Opting for natural skincare is one of the best ways of getting rid of these problems. By using essential oils instead of expensive creams available in the market, we may be able to achieve a youthful glow.
Frankincense Oil

Frankincense oil has cytophylactic properties that stimulate cell regeneration and also protect older cells from free radical damage thus making it famous for its wrinkle-reducing superpower. Moreover, its boswellic acid soothes and reduces inflammation-related skin problems and also kills bacteria associated with acne.

For a DIY eye oil, add two drops of frankincense to two tablespoons of existing eye cream and massage in at night to naturally prevent signs of aging. We can also add three drops of frankincense essential oil and two drops of geranium essential oil to a warm face cloth for quick facial steam on the go. Press the warm cloth on the face for a few seconds, then wipe the face clean.
