Cold pressed technology allows you to preserve almost all unique substances in rosehip oil – more than 15 different acids, including oleic, linoleic, linolenic, palmitic, etc. Vitamins C, E, A, group B and a number of microelements are also preserved. Thanks to such a rich composition, rosehip oil helps: – protect the skin from the negative effects of the external environment; – slow down the aging of the skin; – make the skin elastic and healthy; – eliminate irritation and inflammation, including fighting acne; – normalize water balance, etc.
Rosehip oil is suitable for normal and dry skin, but for oily skin, you should refuse to use it, so as not to make the problem even more significant.
Masks with rosehip oil at home
Use one raw yolk and half a teaspoon of rosehip oil as a nourishing agent for aging skin. Mix these ingredients and spread the mixture on your face. Wait 15–20 minutes and wash off with warm water without soap. Since the skin will become oily and shiny, it is best to carry out the procedure at night before bed.
If your lips are chapped, apply rosehip oil to them daily and you will soon get rid of the flakiness. You can also moisturize the skin around the eyes, while doing a gentle massage at the same time.
For skin with normal oiliness but problems with age spots, use a homemade oatmeal mask. To do this, grind a tablespoon of flakes in a coffee grinder and boil them with boiling water to obtain a thick porridge. Cool to the temperature of fresh milk and pour half a teaspoon of rosehip cosmetic oil into the oatmeal. Stir and apply on face in a thick layer. Wash off the mask after half an hour. It moisturizes, gives good color to the skin and smoothes wrinkles.
For the best whitening effect, you can add a teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
