Frankincense essential oil is popular due to its historical significance of being a gift fit for a king. But it actually is a highly sought after oil because of its many amazing benefits for the skin.

Frankincense is native to Northern Africa and comes from the Olibanum plant. The frankinsence itself originates as sap from the tree, then turns into a gummy resin upon which its medicinal properties are derived.

When it comes to skin, frankincense is powerful in reducing scars and even preventing them. When paired with a carrier oil, frankincense can reduce the appearance of marks from acne, boils, pox and stretch marks. Pretty much any scar you have on your body can be reduced or disappear thanks to this oil.

Another benefit is that it keeps skin healthy. When used in face masks, frankincense prevents the formation of wrinkles, smooths out the skin, and provides anti-aging benefits.
