1 drop pure frankincense essential oil.

Then, place a warm washcloth over your face and hold on the skin for a minute or so to open up your pores. Now, gently rub your face with the facial scrub using small circular motions, making sure to be gentle and not rub in the scrub vigorously on your skin. Keep massaging skin with scrub for 3-5 minutes to fully remove dead skin from the face and to let the essential oils work their magic. Rinse off with warm water. Your face may be red for a bit but this will soon wear off. This is the skin’s natural reaction to the ingredients. Use this scrub no more than once or twice a week.
