Rosehip seed oil is a facial oil that is extracted from the seeds of rose bushes. It contains fatty acids and three powerful vitamins that have a range of benefits to the skin. When it comes to facial oils, it is common to go for coconut oil, jojoba oil and almond oil. However, rosehip oil also works wonders and here are some reasons you should add it to your routine.  

Fights Acne  

Rosehip oil being a facial oil might discourage you from including it in your routine, especially if you have oily skin. However, face oils regulate sebum production. They trick your body into producing less oil which means fewer breakouts. Rosehip oil is rich in three vitamins – A, C and E. These vitamins reduce the appearance of acne spots by increasing skin cell turnover. Its high concentration of omega 6 (also referred to as linoleic acid) also helps to prevent acne spots. Beauty: How To Take Care Of Acne Prone Skin

Reduces Appearance of Wrinkles and Fine Lines  

There’s nothing more annoying than waking up and realizing that you have wrinkles. Wrinkles and fine lines are caused by the skin’s breakdown of collagen and elastin. Rosehip oil has high vitamin C levels that support collagen production, thus reducing wrinkles and fine lines.   

How To Restore Collagen To Your Skin Naturally

Evens Out Skin Tone  

The leading cause of uneven skin tone is hyperpigmentation, which makes some areas of the skin appear darker than other body parts. The vitamins C and A contained in rosehip oil help fade dark spots and brighten the skin. They also help to reduce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Moisturizes the Skin  

Rosehip oil has essential fatty acids that soften and moisturize the skin. The acids also form a protective barrier over the skin that prevents the loss of moisture. It is also dry oil that is absorbed quickly into the skin meaning it does not leave your skin feeling oily.   6 Benefits Of Incorporating A Moisturizer Into Your Skincare Routine

Keeps Your Skin Firm  

The combination of vitamin A and C in rosehip oil improves skin elasticity and smoothness. As you use the oil, you will notice your skin getting firmer and more youthful with time.   6 Health Benefits Of Vitamin A And Food Sources

Reduces Inflammation  

Rosehip oil is rich in vitamin C and anthocyanin, which help to soothe irritated, sun-damaged and sensitive skin. The two ingredients can be very helpful if you struggle with eczema, rosacea and other inflammatory issues.  Lifestyle: The Health Benefits Of Vitamin C And Food Sources 

Heals the Skin  

Rosehip oil has antioxidant properties that help in healing bruises or burns. The mix of essential fatty acids and vitamins helps the skin to rebuild collagen, which fades facial scars.   

How to Use Rosehip Oil  

You can buy rosehip oil in its pure form or skin care products that contain the oil. Rosehip oil is a carrier oil meaning you can add it to your daily moisturizer or use it in its pure form. It can be used twice daily, in the morning and evening. If you are not sure how to include it in your skincare routine, then don’t worry.

Safety and Side Effects  

Like any other product, rosehip oil can cause side effects. Doing a patch test on a small area of your skin is essential before using it on your face. You can choose to apply the oil on your wrist or elbow. Leave the oil on your skin for up to 24 hours and see how your skin reacts to the oil. The side effects include:  

  1. Skin irritation (itching or redness)  
  2. Burning  
  3. Rashes  
  4. Blisters  
  5. Hives   

If you experience any side effects, stop using the oil and seek medical attention.
