A daily hit of the most stupendously brilliant things to land on the beauty desk. This is survival of the fittest

It seems a bit Christmas-y to be thinking about frankincense, what with all its nativity and Bethlehem connotations. But put that to the back of your mind, right now, because it's actually a winner for skin too. Any time of year.

Frankincense helps improve the firmess of skin as well as lines and wrinkles. Plus it smells fantastic too. This botanical pot contains a mighty high dose of it, along with peptide complexes and delicious things like grapeseed oil, and is well worth a go. A little goes a long way too.
