If you want radiant and youthful skin, cold-pressed rosehip oil is a must-have addition to your skincare routine. Extracted from the seeds of the wild rose bushes (Rosa Canina), this golden-hued oil is brimming with vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids that revitalize your skin.
For centuries, this oil has been used in various beauty rituals around the world due to its versatile skincare benefits. Today, we are sharing some of the key benefits of this potent face oil and how to use it to get healthy, glowing skin.
Skincare Benefits Of Rosehip Oil
1. Fades pigmentation
Rosehip oil is one of the best natural remedies for fading acne scars, dark spots and other types of hyperpigmentation. It is rich in Vitamin C which helps inhibit the production of melanin, the pigment that makes our skin look darker.
Meanwhile, Vitamin A improves dead skin cell turnover rate to regenerate new skin cells faster. So over time, your skin looks clear, brighter, and even toned.
2. Fights various signs of ageing
Our skin starts losing its vitality as we age, leading to wrinkles, fine lines and even sagging skin. Rosehip oil can help keep your skin youthful and is considered a natural anti-ageing remedy.
Its rich content of antioxidants and vitamins helps your skin produce more collagen- an essential protein required to maintain skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
3. Prevents environmental damage
Antioxidants like beta-carotene and lycopene found in rosehips also help protect your skin from free radicals- the unstable molecules formed by exposure to sun rays or pollutants. These molecules can damage healthy skin cells and break down collagen, causing premature fine lines and wrinkles. By combating these free radicals, rosehip oil protects the skin from environmental stressors to help it stay youthful for longer.
4. Moisturizes the skin
Cold-pressed Rosehip oil is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are essential for maintaining soft, healthy skin. These fatty acids also help strengthen the skin's natural barrier by locking in moisture and preventing dryness.
So if you are looking for a natural moisturizer that fights dullness and keeps your skin supple all day, look no further than rosehip oil. They also have anti-inflammatory properties, making rosehip oil beneficial for soothing irritated or sensitive skin.
5. Balances oily skin
Despite being an oil, rosehip oil is non-comedogenic and gets absorbed quickly without making your skin feel greasy. So even people with oily or acne-prone skin can use it in their skincare routine.
Oily skin often lacks omega-3 and omega-6 acids, leading to a thick, sticky sebum that clogs pores. Using rosehip oil will balance your skin’s natural sebum levels and help reduce breakouts.
How to Use Rosehip Oil In Your Routine
As a face oil
Whether you have oily, sensitive, or dry skin, adding rosehip oil to your daily skincare routine will help your skin feel smooth and supple. After cleansing, spray some Rose hydrosol to dampen the skin and apply 2-3 drops directly to your face, neck and around the eyes. Massage it gently until it blends into the skin.
As a moisturizer
For some extra hydration, mix a few drops with our pure aloe vera gel and use it as a face moisturizer. With daily use, your skin will look brighter, more even-toned and feel soft to touch.
As a shower oil
You can also apply it on your body after a shower to fade dark spots and enjoy a radiant, healthy glow all over. It is best used on damp skin to lock in moisture and improve absorption.
As a spot treatment
Every morning and night, apply 1-2 drops of rosehip oil directly onto the areas with acne marks or dark spots to help lighten pigmentation.
As a lip oil
Apply 1-2 drops of rosehip oil on your lips every night before bedtime to keep your lips soft and moisturized and help them look more even-toned.
As a hair oil
Rosehip oil isn't just for the skin—it's also fantastic for hair and scalp health. If you run out of your hair oil, massage a few drops into your scalp to nourish the roots, or apply it to the ends of your hair to add shine.
