In her video, Kate (@yourmategingerkate) showed her followers how to make her homemade skincare solution.
The TikToker explained that her mixture helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles by smoothing out the skin.
For her first step, she filled a spray bottle most of the way with jojoba oil.
According to the experts at Cleveland Clinic, the ingredient helps to boost collagen production.
"It can also combat fine lines and wrinkles thanks to vitamin E, which can improve elasticity and hydration," the professionals explained.
They added that jojoba oil also helps to fade stretch marks and scars.
Next, Kate added 10 drops of lavender essential oil to the spray bottle.
The experts at Green Beauty Curator reported on the benefits of the ingredient in anti-aging efforts.

"Lavender is one of the best anti-aging essential oils because of its antioxidant and healing properties," they explained.
"It will help repair past damage to your skin reducing the effects of toxins and UV light that can cause aging."
For her final step, Kate added 10 drops of frankincense essential oil to her mixture.
She explained that the ingredient not only helps to maintain the skin's elasticity but it also promotes the growth of new skin cells.
The experts at Neal's Yard Remedies broke down the healing properties of frankincense.
"Boswellic acid gives frankincense oil an anti-inflammatory, skin-healing action," they explained.
They added that frankincense oil has a rejuvenating effect, particularly on more mature skin.
