Gather the Ingredients
Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products.
- Distilled Water
- Frankincense Granules
- Natural Aloe Vera Gel
- Frankincense Essential Oil (Optional)
Did You Know?
To determine if your frankincense granules are genuine, soak them in distilled water for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight—as we will do later in the recipe steps. Genuine frankincense will turn the solution a milky white, while fake granules will leave the liquid unchanged. This is why it’s wise to purchase a small quantity first when trying a new store to test the authenticity of the product.
Gather the Gear
- Medium bowl
- Small bowl
- Teaspoon
- Small whisk
- Small container to store your DIY Frankincense Face Mask
Prior to use, ensure that both your utensils and containers are properly cleaned and disinfected. Wash them with warm soapy water, dry with a tissue, and then sanitize by spraying with 70% medical alcohol. Wipe them clean and let them air dry before use.
Let’s Make DIY Frankincense Face Mask for Fine Lines
The quantity we are preparing is enough for two applications. Be sure to store any leftover mask in the fridge and use it within one week to ensure maximum freshness and benefits. After one week, discard any leftovers. This is why it is best to prepare small quantities.
Prepare Frankincense Solution
1- Place 1 teaspoon of frankincense granules in a small bowl.
2- Pour 1/2 cup of distilled water over the frankincense granules.
3- Allow the frankincense to soak in the water for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight. As mentioned earlier, the solution will turn milky white if the frankincense is genuine.
Note: The quantities above yield more than what’s needed for this face mask recipe. You can use the remaining solution as a frankincense face toner or as an ingredient for DIY creams and other products. If you prefer a smaller amount, soak 1/2 teaspoon of frankincense granules in 1/4 cup of distilled water.
Make the Face Mask (After the Soaking Duration)
4- In a separate medium bowl, place 2 slightly heaped teaspoons of aloe vera gel. A slightly heaped teaspoon is when the ingredient is piled above the spoon’s edge but not overly heaped.
5- Add 3 teaspoons of the frankincense solution prepared earlier to the aloe vera gel.
6- Use a small whisk to stir the ingredients vigorously until well blended. The longer you whip the mixture, the thicker it becomes.
7- As an optional step, for those aged 50-55 and older who wish to address excessive fine lines, add 2 drops of frankincense essential oil. Those under 50 with fewer fine lines can skip this step, as the mask without the essential oil is sufficient over time.
8- Give the mixture a final thorough stir.
9- Pour the mask into a small container. If you’re not using it immediately, store it in the fridge. Be sure to use it within a week, after which it should be discarded.
Using It Right
To make the most of your DIY Frankincense Face Mask for Fine Lines, follow these simple steps:
a. Apply the mask evenly over your entire face and neck, ensuring a generous layer for optimal benefits.
b. Leave the mask on for 20 minutes, allowing your skin to absorb its nourishing properties.
c. Use Face Roller (Optional): After 20 minutes, it is recommended to use a face roller to enhance circulation and promote a lifted appearance. Use it to gently roll and pull the skin upwards for a few minutes.
d. Rinse the mask off first with warm water to help open your pores, then follow with cold water to close them. This dual temperature rinse helps refresh your skin.
e. Finish by applying a moisturizing cream to lock in hydration and keep your skin feeling soft and supple.
Enjoy the revitalizing effects of your face mask and embrace your glowing complexion!
