Dragon's Blood makes a fantastic rejuvenating face mask on its own or in combination with other simple additions from your pantry. The phytochemicals naturally present in Dragon's Blood make it a solid base ingredient suitable for a variety of skin types and skin issues.

Dragon's Blood is high in antioxidants  protecting your skin from free radicals, reducing pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles. Proanthocyanidin is unique to Dragon’s Blood and actually repairs and promotes new collagen production. Anti-inflammatories reduce redness, puffiness, swelling and irritation. Astringent and antibacterial compounds are effective on problems like acne or the occasional break out. The combination of these compounds (especially the anti inflammatories) makes Dragon’s Blood perfect for using on sensitive, damaged or allergy prone skin. No matter what your skin type, Dragon's Blood is a great soothing, free radical scavenger that will improve the texture, tone and elasticity of your skin. Try wearing it overnight as a deep treatment or rinse it off after a 45 minute application for a quick home facial.
