Living in a tropical country, the weather has a way of taking a toll on our skin. The humidity of summer, the chilly temperatures towards the end of the year, the cold winds and dry air in between—they wreak havoc on the state of our skin, stripping it of moisture, worsening skin issues, and accelerating aging. When the weather's working against you, there's no better time to pamper yourself with some extra TLC in the form of indulgent beauty products that work hard to tackle your skin woes.

As you might expect from Neal’s Yard Remedies, the magic of the Frankincense Intense™ range lies in the active ingredients. Bacillus ferment, an enzymatic exfoliant, helps give a firming effect while evening out skin tone. Glycogen and hyaluronic acid are responsible for the plumping action and hydration boost. Meanwhile botanical adaptogens ashwagandha extract, centella asiatica oil (gotu kola), and turmeric root extract support the skin from within to give a more rested and radiant looking complexion.

There is likewise a heavenly scent, courtesy of boswellia sacra essential oil (frankincense), known for its deeply relaxing properties. And as with all Neal’s Yard Remedies’ preparations, it’s certified organic and vegan approved.

As an intense treatment, Frankincense Intense™ Age-Defying Overnight Mask gives your skin a welcome boost locking in moisture. Instantly, your skin is plumper and has a radiant, healthy glow. It calms the redness, giving your complexion an even appearance while smoothing and softening your skin. As an overnight mask, it stays well on the skin, leaving no unwanted residue.

Continued use of the mask will result in cheeks and jawline being visibly contoured, facial contours lifted, and deep lines and wrinkles reduced.

Perhaps an added perk of this product is the realisation that in 2022, beauty can be planet-friendly and still deliver impressive results.

Cruelty-free and certified organic by the Soil Association since 1991, Neal’s Yard Remedies was the UK’s first certified organic health and beauty brand and is now, fittingly, the UK’s leading organic certifier.

Everything found their signature blue bottles, from their sustainably sourced organic ingredients (the Age-Defying Overnight Mask’s frankincense is, of course, organic and sustainably sourced) to the small-scale production and recycled packaging.

So much care is taken that Neal’s Yard Remedies was declared winner of Best Organic Skincare in the Soil Association Boom awards last year (the only UK awards that recognise and celebrate the very best of the organic industry).

It may have taken millenia for frankincense to trend in skin care, but despite its natural derivation and spiritual significance, this ingredient should be introduced to a self-care routine with measure

For those looking to reap its aromatherapeutic benefits, studies support the claim that frankincense has a soothing effect and provides people with a sense of calm.

With the Frankincense Intense™ Age-Defying Overnight Mask, not only will you dream of a restorative night's sleep, you have a skin-care product that delivers results as you rest.
