Launched in January this year to complement the award winning Neal's Yard Organic Frankincense Skincare range. This is set to become another best seller. Frankincense is also known as 'the pearls of the desert', made from the drawn out sap of the Boswellia tree, the frankincense used by Neal's Yard is grown in Somalia, the wild growing trees have been tended by the same families for generations.
Frankincense is used as a key ingredient for effective rejuvenating and firming the skin and fighting the first signs of ageing. Interestingly it was used by the ancient Egyptians for mummifying and embalming!
Why use a facial oil?
A facial oil is designed to penetrate deeper into the skin to help to stimulate collagen production, offering support and construction (firming) in the deep layers. Apply one drop after cleansing and toning, whilst the skin is still damp (therefore using less product). Allow the oil to penetrate the skin for about 5 minutes before moisturising. You will find that you need less moisturiser.
Think of the oil as your underwear (giving support) and your moisturiser as your dress!
The Verdict
The Frankincense Facial Oil is lighter than the Orange Flower and Rose Facial Oils. It is suitable for skin that is showing signs of ageing. It has been clinically proven to moisturise for up to 12 hours! At only £25.50 it will last for ages as you only need one drop, you will also use less moisturiser. It will give your skin a real boost, especially in winter and is also rich in omega- rich botanical oils with frankincense and myrrh, with a hint of mandarin oil. I love it!
