Frankincense oil always brings to mind aromatherapy and incense. Mentioned several times in the Bible and given with Myrrh as a gift to baby Jesus, it was as valuble as gold and used thousands of years ago as a skin treatment. Origin and Description: Frankincense has been traded on the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa for over 5000 years and is native to the Red Sea region. It was used by ancient Egyptians to rejuvenate skin and of course as incense in religious ceromonies. Frankincense comes from the Boswellia Tree. Frankincense essential oil has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits to the skin, making it ideal for acne-prone skin. It is also a natural toner, decreasing the appearance of pores and evening skin-tone. It is cytophylactic, which means that it helps protect existing cells and encourage new cell growth. Essential oils should be diluted in a carrier oil to a maximum of 5% (see these 5 face oils for naturally clear, flawless skin). So since 1 ml is 20 drops, for every 1 ml of carrier oil, you would add 1 drop of EO. Be sure to do a patch test to make sure your skin does not have an adverse reaction to the oils. 13 people found the following review helpful. Posted by Reviewer2925303 on Apr 16, 2010. Frankincense oil has been a miracle for my skin, I am not yet 30, but daily use of this oil on my face for nearly a year has kept my skin supple and smooth as any 16 year olds. I use it day and night, and the results are fantastic Using frankincense to reduce inflammation, make your own frankincense body oil. You can use it all over your body or focus it in inflamed areas. You can buy oils made for you but it is so simple to make it yourself that you might as well save on the cost. Buy a carrier oil as a base and add frankincense oil to it. To get the most out of your frankincense, we recommend jojoba oil as a carrier because it helps the frankincense penetrate more deeply (5 drops frankincense in one ounce of jojoba is a good start). See resources below for frankincense and jojoba oils. (Oily complexions can often be the result of dehydrated skin, from diet or topical treatments.) The myth is that applying oils to the skin will clog pores and cause breakouts. Not so! Some would never fathom applying drops of essential oil in place of moisturizer. Excellent for dry skin, acne prone skin, and blemish spot treatment. Jojoba oil: brilliant at reducing oil production for oily/combination skin. It can clear up acne with its sebum breakdown properties, which unclogs pores.A must have for acne prone skin. For all skin types. Frankincense oil: A healing oil that rejuvenates aging skin, reduces oil production for oily/combination skin, tones and lifts skin, fades scars, and acts as anti-ager. Take a deep breath while you are at it, because this oil is used in aromatherapy to relieve stress. My niece has severe cystic acne. It is not pimples or zits, it's is hard, very painful cysts. We have paid thousands of dollars for doctors and medication that didn't do a thing. I bought Frankincense from Young Living and from another company and had her try them on opposite sides of her face. After 5 DAYS her face is almost completely smooth! Soothing owies. Mix a couple drops of frankincense essential oil with one tablespoon of coconut oil for an easy balm to make owies feel better quickly. Frankincense is also used to optimize skin repair. Or, use my multipurpose herbal healing balm, which already contains frankincense.  1 Lavender oil smells good and is useful for treating burns. 2  For most people who have acne, however, lavender oil makes the skin redder. 3  Many acne care products contain lavender oil. 4  You may be able to tolerate lavender oil by itself, but have a problem when it is combined with other essential oils or botanicals.
