Introducing Frankincense Intense Hydrating Essence

How do you want your skin to feel? Adding Frankincense Intense Hydrating Essence can enhance your skincare routine!

What if there was a product that was designed to instantly hydrate and prep your skin enabling your skincare regime to be super-charged for maximum effectiveness? It’s here… our NEW Frankincense Intense Hydrating Essence will complement your routine. Sadly, as we age, our skin’s natural oils and moisture decreases, reducing its ability to easily absorb products. Fine lines appear deeper and skin appears dull.

Proof Organic Works

With a moisture-boosting blend of hyaluronic acid, purified pomegranate extract and organic argan oil, over time with use your skin looks healthier, brighter, and more refined.

Frankincense Intense Hydrating Essence is clinically proven to hydrate for 24 hours. *After one week, 80% of participants agreed their skin appeared smoother, and 75% agree their natural glow was restored. After two weeks, 80% of participants agreed the appearance of their skin was improved, and looked brighter, and 71% agreed their complexion was more refined. *Based on consumer trial with 100 women.

Improves performance

Add Frankincense Intense Hydrating Essence to your beauty routine and improve the performance of your Frankincense Intense™ Age-Defying or Lift Serum. It’s the perfect partner to enhance your Frankincense Intense™ routine.

Purified pomegranate extract helps to restore the natural flow of water in the skin, prepping it perfectly to better absorb serums, facial oils and moisturizers, improving their performance. A skin-conditioning combination of hydrating hyaluronic acid and organic argan oil plumps, nourishes and helps to strengthen skin, leaving it feeling soft, smooth and radiant.

First, cleanse your skin with Frankincense Intense Cleansing Melt and tone with Rejuvenation Frankincense Toner before using Frankincense Intense Hydrating Essence. Glide the light weight lotion over your face and lightly pat, enjoying the therapeutic aroma. Follow up with your eye cream, serum or facial oil, and moisturizer. Frankincense Intense Hydration Essence is not a substitute for your serum, oil and moisturizer, rather it preps the skin in order to maximize the benefits of your facial products. When used twice a day, a bottle of Frankincense Intense Hydration Essence will last a couple of months or longer. A little goes a long way! In fact, all your products last longer when you are layering multiple products, and they work better as well. I highly recommend the Frankincense Intense and the Frankincense Intense Lift range of products for aging well.

Enhances wellbeing

Inhaling the therapeutic aroma of frankincense, bergamot, mandarin and myrrh calms and centers while soothing your senses with our Boswellia sacra (frankincense) essential oil, treasured for centuries for its deeply relaxing aroma. Pamper yourself with a lovely facial experience using your Neal’s Yard Remedies skincare. Light a candle, or diffuse some relaxing essential oils, and turn your skincare into an experience that will leave you relaxed, calm and peaceful, and loving your skin!

5 Reasons to Try a Silk Pillowcase

Could the secret to better skin and hair be as simple as trying a silk pillowcase?

This post contains an affiliate link. If you make a purchase I will earn a commission. Keep in mind that I link these companies and their products because of their quality. Any commission I receive from your purchases will offset the expense of this blog. The decision is yours, and whether or not you decide to buy something is completely up to you.

Your face and hair are in contact with your pillowcase for one third of your life. Think about it. The oils from your hair, residue from makeup, sweat, all of this is absorbed by cotton pillowcases. And most of us wash our sheets once a week. Is it any wonder we have occasional breakouts and facial irritation? Maybe it’s time to add a silk pillowcase to your beauty regime.

Wrinkle Prevention

There is a reason we say smooth as silk. Cotton causes friction and tugging on your skin. It makes sense that if your pillow glides against your face, rather than tugs on it, you may prevent wrinkles and creases.

Facial Products Stay on your Skin

Cotton absorbs your moisturizers and serums, as well as sweat and oils from your hair. Using a silk pillowcase allows your serums and moisturizers to stay on your skin. Your skin stays more hydrated, even in winter.

Hair Benefits

If your hair has a tendency to be dry, it will benefit from a silk pillowcase. The smooth texture will help prevent frizz and dry scalp issues. Hair glides across the surface, so you will wake with less tangles, breakage and fewer split ends.

Temperature Regulation

Because silk doesn’t absorb moisture like cotton does, a silk pillowcase can keep you cool and dry all night.

Sensitive Skin Benefits

Silk pillowcases may help those with sensitive skin. Because silk is less abrasive, those with rosacea may notice less redness. Cotton is so absorbent, any hair products you’ve applied during the day can end up getting rubbed against your face. Those hair products can contain many things that are not so good for your skin.

Whether you sleep on your back, toss and turn all night, or sleep on your side with your face ground into your pillow, a silk pillowcase is worth a try. You can find silk pillowcases at many department stores. It’s a small investment with the potential for huge benefits!

NYR Organic’s Hand Treatment Serum Is Not For Everyone

Frankincense Intense™ Hand Treatment Serum visibly smooths, firms and evens skin tone on your hands
to help you age well!

If you are a woman of a certain age, you know two things will give away your age besides your face. Your neck and your hands. Are you beginning to notice lines, wrinkles and age spots, also known as liver spots-ugh! or hyperpigmentation on your hands? My fair skin is more prone to aging, and I can tell you I’ve wished white gloves would come back in style more than once. Well, maybe there’s a better solution! I can’t promise your hands will look 10 years younger, but you may stop thinking about wearing white gloves. Neal’s Yard Remedies new Frankincense Intense™ Hand Treatment Serum is the Rolls Royce of hand treatments and is clinically proven to firm and hydrate skin, and reduce the appearance of age spots! And like the Rolls Royce, it may not be for everyone.

Smooths

You will notice a visibly smoother appearance of lines and wrinkles after the first use! Restoring ribose reduces lines and wrinkles, while sodium hyaluronate acts as a moisture magnet.

Firms

Reviving narcissus extract visibly increases skins firmness.

Evens Skin Tone

Rosehip oil, rich in provitamin A, and antioxidant turmeric extract is clinically proven to even skin tone and target age spots.

Enhances Wellbeing

Frankincense (Boswellia sacra) is traditionally used for its deeply relaxing, therapeutic aroma. Combined with a blend of mandarin, bergamot, neroli and myrrh essential oils, this aroma will have you slowing down and breathing deeper for a moment of pampering. Used twice a day it will enhance your wellbeing and soothe your senses.

Hand Treatment Serum Pro Tips

Exfoliate the skin on your hands once or twice a week with Nourishing Melissa Hand Polish to smooth and nourish dull, dry hands before applying Frankincense Intense™ Hand Treatment Serum. Simply wet your hands and massage the polish into the skin gently. Rinse thoroughly and follow with a small amount of hand treatment serum. For extra dry hands, follow the serum with your favorite Neal’s Yard Remedies hand cream.

So why do I say isn’t Frankincense Intense™ Hand Treatment Serum for everyone? Of course if you are under 40, your hands are probably baby-soft and smooth. Not everyone is prepared to splurge on improving the appearance of their hands. I just got my bottle of hand serum, so I can’t tell you how long it will last, but you only use a small amount, twice a day. I was hooked after the first treatment. Frankincense Intense™ Hand Treatment Serum is worth the price and will make an amazing gift for your mom!
