Our sebaceous glands are microscopic glands in our skin that secrete an oily or waxy matter called sebum. As we age our sebaceous glands produce less sebum, which is why we often see an increase of dry skin the older we get.


Hibiscus is rich in antioxidants, called


anthocyanosides. Antioxidants are proven to help fi ght skin damaging free radicals which spawn when pollutants such as ultraviolet radiation and traffi c pollution make contact with the skin, and can result in premature skin aging. Not only do anthocyanosides protect against free radical damage, they have slightly astringent properties, helping to reduce the appearance of large pores for a smoother complexion.


3. Frankincense Oil What is frankincense oil good for? For


starters, it’s often used to reduce the appear- ance of sunspots and age spots. If you have uneven color on your skin, some whiteness in some areas, any spottiness or splotchi- ness, frankincense oil is the number one ingredient that can help even out skin tone and help get rid of sunspots and age spots.


Frankincense essential oil is a pow- erful astringent that can be used to help reduce acne blemishes; the appearance of large pores and wrinkles. Frankincense is one of the best essential oils for skin tightening. The oil can be used anywhere where the skin becomes saggy, such as the abdomen, jowls or under the eyes. It’s one of my favorite essential oils for wrinkles around the eyes.


Frankincense has the ability to strengthen skin and improve its tone, elas- ticity, defense mechanisms against bacteria or blemishes, and appearance as someone ages. Studies have shown that it has anti- infl ammatory properties and can help to get rid of stretch marks and scars.


4. Kalahari Melon Seed Oil


This pure, wild harvested African melon nourishes your skin with Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Vitamins A, B, C, E, min- erals, lycopene and citruilline. Citrulline improves blood fl ow to the skin, helping fl ush toxins and providing a healthy glow. Plus, it pushes back against fat from ac- cumulating under the skin. Superoxide Dis- mutase protects the skin like no other anti- oxidant can. It’s the only antioxidant that binds itself directly to collagen preventing what’s known as collagen oxidation. Col- lagen oxidation causes your collagen to weaken and break, which causes wrinkles and sagging skin, because Superoxide Dis- mutase binds directly to collagen. It helps prevent this oxidation from occurring.


5. Rosehip Oil


This is defi nitely one of the best oils for wrinkles and age spots. Made from the seeds of rose hips, rosehip oil is an


incredibly concentrated form of anti-aging goodness. Why is this rose-derived oil so excellent for skin health? It’s packed with so many of the nutrients known to boost skin health and have anti-aging effects.


Rosehip oil, also called rosehip seed


oil, is a rich source of essential fatty acids (EFAs) including oleic, palmitic, linoleic and gamma linolenic acid (GLA). These EFAs are great at fi ghting dryness and reducing the appearance of fi nes lines. Rose hips are also one of the richest plant sources of vitamin C. This is a huge plus for anti-aging efforts since vitamin C aids col- lagen production, which unfortunately but naturally slows down as we age. Adding products with vitamin C, like rosehip oil, to your beauty routine can directly help to boost collagen and fend off signs of aging.
