Hi there! Here we are again, with another popular skincare ingredient that you’ve probably not heard of. As the title suggests, today’s discussion is on rosehip oil:

Pure natural plant oils are extremely popular when it comes to natural beauty, and have been used to care for skin since the days of Cleopatra. Arguably, rosehip oil claims to be the most popular of them all!

Rosa Canina seed oil is derived from the fruit left behind after the rose has bloomed and dropped all its petals. Contradictory to the name, rosehips do not smell like roses. Rather, the natural fragrance is very subtle and slightly woody. This is due to the oil being extracted from the seed, rather than the petals.

Rosehip oil is such an effective, multi-tasking ingredient, it’s no wonder why the Duchess of Cambridge swears by it. Want to know the best part? The oil is suitable for all skin types! Here are a few of the great uses for the oil.

Reduce Marks and Scars

Rosehip oil can help both reduce acne scars and minimize stretch marks. This is due to the vitamin C it contains, which stimulates cell renewal and thus lightens discoloration more easily. The oil works to lighten scars up until they eventually fade.

Provides the Perfect Glow

According to the Duchess, rosehip oil provides the perfect lightening effect. Its high concentration of vitamin C helps to lighten irregularities, such as pigment spots and dark circles, leaving your skin feeling more alert and radiant. 

Healthy, Beautiful Nails

Every woman definitely has strong fingernails as one of their top beauty goals. Rather than spend a lot of money on expensive nail treatments, you can also use rosehip oil to take care of your nails. Simply massage the oil into your nails and cuticles two to three times a week and broken nails and the like a thing of the past.

Fix Sun Damage

It’s easy to forget to take care of your skin during summer, especially when you’re trying to soak in as much sun action before the long, dark days of winter hit. After the warm summer, your skin needs a little break in autumn. With its calming and healing effects, rosehip oil is the ideal solution to help your skin heal.

Fights Dandruff and Repairs Split Ends

Massaging a few drops of the oil into the scalp works well to combat dandruff. Also, putting small blobs of the oil on the tips of your hair supplies it with sufficient moisture. Split ends don’t stand a chance.
