Learn how to use Rejuvenating Frankincense Facial Oil daily with our simple steps. Get soft, radiant skin without greasiness.

Quick Answer

Apply 2–3 drops of Rejuvenating Frankincense Facial Oil to clean, slightly damp skin as the last step of your evening routine, and 1–2 drops in the morning if your skin feels dry. Warm the oil between your palms and press it gently over your face and neck. This locks in moisture and keeps skin balanced without heaviness.

Why This Oil Works for Daily Use

Rejuvenating Frankincense Facial Oil is a rich blend that deeply moisturises and helps balance natural moisture levels. It protects against future moisture loss, making it especially useful in cold, dry weather or when skin feels sun-parched. The pipette gives you precise control, so you can adjust the amount to your skin's needs—no waste, no guesswork.

Unlike some facial oils that sit on the surface, this one is designed to absorb and tone for a radiant complexion. It's suitable for all skin types, but mature or dry skin tends to see the most noticeable comfort.

Step-by-Step Daily Routine

Follow this order every evening; in the morning, you can simplify to just cleanse, tone, and oil if your skin isn't too dry. The key is to apply oil after water-based products so it can seal in hydration.

  • 1. Cleanse gently. Use a mild cleanser to remove makeup, sunscreen, and daily grime. Pat skin almost dry—leaving it slightly damp helps the oil spread and absorb better.
  • 2. Tone (optional). If you use a hydrating toner or essence, apply it now and let it soak in for 30 seconds. This adds an extra layer of moisture that the oil will trap.
  • 3. Apply serum or treatment (optional). If you use a water-based serum, like a hyaluronic acid or vitamin C, apply it before the oil. Wait a minute until it's absorbed.
  • 4. Warm 2–3 drops of oil. Use the pipette to dispense into your palm. Rub your palms together for a few seconds to warm the oil—this makes it easier to spread and improves absorption.
  • 5. Press, don't rub. Gently press your palms over your face and neck, starting from the center and moving outward. Avoid dragging or pulling the skin. Use upward motions on the neck.
  • 6. Finish with SPF in the morning. If you're applying oil in the morning, always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Oil can make skin look dewy, but it doesn't replace sun protection.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Using too much oil is the most frequent error—start with 2 drops and add more only if needed. Applying oil to dry skin can make it sit on top rather than absorb, so always apply to slightly damp skin. And don't mix oil into your moisturiser unless you're sure they're compatible; layering is more effective.

How to Adjust for Your Skin Type

Dry or mature skin: Use 3–4 drops at night and 2 drops in the morning if needed. You can also add a drop to your moisturiser for extra richness.

Oily or combination skin: Start with 1–2 drops at night only. If you feel greasy, reduce to 1 drop or apply every other night.

Sensitive skin: Patch-test first. Apply a drop behind your ear and wait 24 hours. If no reaction, begin with 1 drop at night.

Your Daily Facial Oil Steps

  1. Cleanse and leave damp: Use a gentle cleanser, then pat skin so it's still slightly damp. This helps the oil absorb instead of sitting on top. Checkpoint: Skin should feel soft, not tight or dry.
  2. Warm 2–3 drops in palms: Dispense oil with the pipette and rub palms together to warm it. This makes application smoother and more even. Mistake to avoid: Using cold oil straight from the bottle—it won't spread as well.
  3. Press into face and neck: Gently press the oil into your skin, moving from center outward and upward on the neck. Don't rub or drag. Checkpoint: Skin should look dewy, not greasy. If greasy, you used too much.
  4. Finish with SPF in the morning: If applying in the morning, always follow with sunscreen. Oil doesn't provide UV protection. Mistake to avoid: Skipping SPF because you think oil offers coverage.
