Rosehip is rich in everything from antioxidants to vitamins to fatty acids, it nourishes your skin’s protective barrier helping prevent further moisture loss. The fatty acids mirror the lipid content in the skin, which naturally help the skin better absorb the oil. The oil is derived from a cold pressing method that removes oil from the seeds of wild rosehip fruit. Rosehip seed oil has a high ratio of linoleic, alpha-linolenic, and oleic acid, as well as tocopherol and carotenoids. It can be applied to the face and neck, hands, heels, elbows, and knees, as well as your hair and scalp.
The most important thing is to make sure the rosehip oil you’re using should be obtained by cold-press methods, as high heat can degrade some of the active ingredients. Here, exactly how rosehip oil benefits your skin and the easiest way to add it to your beauty routine.
1.Brightens skin
Rosehip oil contains vitamin C, a collagen-stimulating nutrient that helps improve skin’s firmness and prevent fine lines. Vitamin C is also known to have a skin-brightening effect, which gives your complexion a radiant appearance. The oil’s astringent properties can reduce the size of your pores, which also helps brighten your skin.
2. Correct uneven skin tone
The provitamin A compound found in rosehip oil which contains beta-carotene help your skin in minimizing hyperpigmentation. It also helps to lighten dark spots that are related to sun exposure, medications or hormonal changes.
3. Diminish the appreances of wrinkles and scars
Vitamins A and C, anti-inflammatory fatty acids—this is the ultimate beauty ingredient to fade scars or other marks on the skin. Rosehip oil has all of these properties and has shown an excellent option for those looking to get rid of stubborn scars.
4. And minimize pregnancy stretch marks
Rose hip oil gets absorbed by the skin easily and it’s essential fatty acids promote collagen production and prevents further breakdown of collagen. It softens and moisturises the epidermis by stimulating the skin’s regenerative powers. This helps to improve as well as fades the appearance of stretch marks over time.
How to use
Rosehip oil is suitable for most skin types. Dry skin benefits from its ability to lock in moisture. If you have normal skin that only gets dry in extreme weather, then you won’t find it bothersome on your skin because it’s a lightweight oil. It doesn’t irritate oily skin either, since it gets absorbed so easily into the skin.
To apply rosehip oil, simply take 2-4 drops of oil on your fingertips and gently massage the areas like face, neck, and under your eyes in circular motion using your fingertips.
You can apply rosehip oil once or twice a day. You can also add one or two drops of the oil into your normal moisturizer.
Tips: Before adding rosehip oil to your skincare regimen, it is wise to do a patch test on the inside of your forearm. Wait for 24hours, then check the area again. If you dont notice any swelling, redness or irritation, then you can proceed with the full use of product in your skincare routine.
