CheckoutRevealing the secrets of using rosehip oil
Every berry and every blade of grass brings benefits and health to a person. In addition to the unique mineral and vitamin composition, natural gifts contain very useful oils that take care of our beauty and youth. The oil of each plant has certain healing properties that have an effective effect on the skin, hair and nails.
Rosehip oil, also popularly known as "liquid sun", has a rather complex production technology. For its preparation, pre-dried seeds of wild rose hips are used, which are then crushed and an oily liquid is obtained by hot extraction with organic solvents.
Now we will talk about the health benefits of rosehip oil and its effective effects on the beauty and health of skin and hair.
Useful composition
All the beneficial properties of rosehip oil are explained by its unique composition. Rosehip oil has a specific unobtrusive aroma and bitter taste. And depending on the type of plant and the place of its growth, rosehip oil can vary in color: from pinkish-golden to bright orange and even brown.
The chemical composition of rosehip oil is distinguished by a large amount of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids contained in it, including linoleic, linolenic, oleic, stearic, myristic and palmitic acids. In addition, fatty oil is the main component of seeds, is rich in carotene (vitamin A), tocopherol (vitamin E) and contains vitamins C and F in sufficient quantities.
Microelements such as copper, molybdenum, strontium and macronutrients such as iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus are also part of the rosehip oil.
How to apply to face and hair
Despite its other beneficial properties, the positive effect of rosehip oil on the skin is perhaps its main feature. Thanks to the vitamins, trace elements and fatty acids it contains, it has a regenerating and rejuvenating effect on the skin, increases its elasticity, eliminates irritation, and normalizes the secretion of the sebaceous glands. With regular use, the oil increases the protective properties of the epidermis, prevents the accumulation of enzymes and decay products in it, and improves intracellular metabolism.
In addition, rosehip oil is a natural filter for UV rays. It is suitable for aging, dry skin and is a good anti-aging remedy to help fight fine lines and age spots. It also removes signs of fatigue, tones up blood vessels and gives the skin of the face and décolleté an even and healthy color. It is ideal for treating the skin around the eyes and delicate skin around the lips, and if desired, it can be applied to the entire face. After saturating the skin with nutrients, rosehip oil moisturizes and softens it.
Rosehip oil is categorically not suitable for owners of oily and acne-prone skin, as it can provoke the appearance of new inflammations.
Rosehip oil can be used both in pure form and as part of usual cosmetics for the care of the face skin, décolleté and hair. It can be enriched with gels for washing, shampoos, rinses, masks, creams, lotions and other products in proportions of 1 to 10.
Applying pure rosehip oil, it is often used as a base oil for the preparation of medicinal aromatic mixtures. It combines essential oils of plants such as ylang-ylang, rose, orange, lavender, patchouli, bergamot, neroli and chamomile.
If it is used alone, then three drops of oil applied in the evening to the skin of the face will be enough in order to prevent the premature appearance of wrinkles and smooth out the existing ones. The oil is applied with light patting movements that do not stretch the skin.
Unique properties against stretch marks
With its characteristic regenerating properties, rosehip oil can be used to relieve and, above all, prevent stretch marks on the skin. Its use gives great results in solving this problem, both when used alone, and when combined with essential oils of rosemary, neroli and petitgrain.
