This Homemade Frankincense Face Cream/Aftershave is a Do It Yourself skincare recipe that doubles as face cream and after shave. Jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, cacao butter, and shea butter make this cream deeply nourishing. Witch hazel is a natural astringent which soothes the skin and cleans any cuts caused by shaving, while Frankincense and Tea Tree oils work their powerful anti-inflammatory magic.
Frankincense is a hardened tree sap extracted from a tree-species called Boswellia. It has been traded throughout the Arabian Peninsula and Northern Africa for over 6,000 years and been harvested for much longer.
