5 Reasons Why Rosehip Oil Will Change Your Life

When it comes to natural beauty products, Rosehip Oil is defiantly a winner. It’s suitable for all skin types and is the ultimate multi-tasker, being great for skin, hair and nails. In its pure, Organic Cold Pressed form, Rosehip Oil is a deep amber colour, with an earthy, almost nutty scent. Don’t let the smell or taste put you off though! This oil is an excellent addition to your beauty routine. Here are 5 Reasons why Rosehip Oil Will Change Your Life!

1. Moisturizes Skin

Rosehip Oil is a great moisturizer! It’s rich in essential fatty acids that keep the skin cell walls string, thus improving the skin’s water retention. The natural anti-oxidants found in Rosehip Oil are great for all over general skin health, and because Rosehip Oil absorbs into the skin quickly, they reach the bottom layers more effectively. Unlike Coconut Oil, it won’t clog your pores with whiteheads, so it’s suitable for oily/acne prone skin types. If using it alone on the skin isn’t for you, just add a few drops of Organic Cold Pressed Rosehip Oil to your regular moisturizer in the mornings or at night (or both), and massage thoroughly into your face, neck and chest area. Over time, your skin’s hydration will improve, giving you a natural, youthful glow!

2. Combat’s Sun Damage

Rosehip Oil contains natural SPF properties, and is great for preventing sun damage. It’s rich in Vitamins A, C and E, all of which work together to fight sun damage, which may in turn help revert the photoaging process. Although it is not recommended to use Rosehip Oil on its own as an SPF (always wear proper SPF!!!) it is a great addition to your sun care products. It’s can be applied mixed with your SPF, moisturizer or your primer before applying your makeup.

3. It’s Edible!

As well as being a superb addition to your skincare routine, Rosehip Oil is an all-natural ingredient that is perfectly safe to ingest. If you have super oily skin and the thought of adding any more oils terrifies you, or if you simply have too many oils already in your skincare routine, taking Rosehip oil orally is a great way to get all its benefits without having to add yet another product into your ever-growing skincare routine. Add a teaspoon or two to your smoothies, your oatmeal, yoghurt (anything really)

4. Hair Oil

Summer can be a very damaging time to our hair, spending so much time and effort protecting our skin means our hair is often left dry and sun damaged. Another excellent use of Rosehip Oil is as a hair oil. It’s great for moisturizing, sun damage prevention and is fast absorbing, meaning no oily residue. Simply take a few drops of Organic Cold Pressed Rosehip Oil in the palms of your hands, rub them together, then massage into the lower part of the your hair (wet or dry) down towards the ends. Add more/less depending on your hair type and the amount of hair you have. Instantly your hair well look and feel silky, smooth and moisturized!

5. Nail Care

Rosehip Oil can really be used on most parts of the body (even taken orally), but one particular great use for rosehip Oil is as a nail and cuticle treatment. It’s moisturizing and fast absorbing, with the essential fatty acids help boost skin’s elasticity, repairing damage cuticles, strengthening nails and promoting nail growth. Either rub a few drops of Organic Cold Pressed Rosehip Oil onto the nail and cuticle area, or add a couple of spoons of the oil to a bowl of warm water and soak your fingers in it for 10-15 mins. If repeated regularly over time, your nails will appear longer, stronger and more shiny.
