Backstory
Since I've been in school and not working full time, I've been reluctant to spend a lot on beauty and skincare. One product I think is completely worth splurging on is Young Living's Boswellia Wrinkle Creme. Considering that, at 23, I'm not very concerned about wrinkles, the fact that I'm willing to spend so much on a wrinkle creme is even funnier.
Usually I have normal to oily skin, but this past winter, after struggling with breakouts, I changed up my entire skincare routine. I was a lot happier with it overall, but I ended up with a few dry patches. I tried more affordable moisturizers, but didn't get any significant results, so one night, I decided to try my mom's Boswellia Wrinkle Creme in place of a moisturizer. It absorbed quickly and left my skin feeling soft and moisturized. The next day, my skin still felt great and the tightness and dryness I'd been experiencing hadn't come back.
Product Claims
Young Living claims that ... "Boswellia™ Wrinkle Cream nourishes skin for a smoother, more youthful appearance. Its primary ingredient methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) supports collagen to improve skin firmness and minimize fine lines. Essential oils of geranium, myrrh, sandalwood, and ylang ylang soothe and soften the skin, while frankincense and wolfberry oil enhance collagen formation."
Does it live up to its claims? Results after 1 Month+
Yes, I think it does. Not only did the creme help with dryness, but it also helped clear up the breakouts I'd been struggling with. I also noticed an improvement in a few spots where I had hyperpigmentation from old acne breakouts and my skin is smoother and softer overall as well. I've also got two lines on my forehead, between my eyebrows - I think just from the facial expressions I tend to make. After about a month of using this, I noticed they were less visible, and after 2-3 months use, they're almost completely gone! They aren't really wrinkles, per say, but they were pretty visible lines, and with how amazingly the Boswellia Wrinkle Creme worked on them, I'm pretty confident that it would be effective on wrinkles as well.
