The 6 Reasons You Should be Using Rosehip Oil

Rosehip Oil is an amazing multitasking beauty ingredient suitable for most skin types and many skin concerns. In this article we’ll share our favourite benefits of incorporating Rosehip Oil into your daily skincare regime. And we’ll introduce you to a simple routine for getting started with Rosehip Oil. But first, what is Rosehip Oil?

What is Rosehip Oil?

Rosehip Oil is pressed from the seeds of wild rosehip fruit. At essano our Rosehip Oil is sustainably sourced from the extreme south of Chile, in the Patagonia Austral. Rich in Vitamins A, C, and E, fatty acids and antioxidants, Rosehip Oil has long been known for its anti-ageing and healing properties.

Benefits of Using Rosehip Oil

1. Hydrates the skin and moisturises

The fatty acids found in Rosehip Oil keep cell walls strong so they don’t lose water. Cue hydrated skin. But that’s not all. Rosehip Oil is a fantastic facial moisturiser which is essential for locking in all of that lovely hydration.

2. Stimulates collagen production

As we age our body makes less and less collagen, causing the skin to sag and show signs of ageing. Vitamin A, found in Rosehip Oil, is necessary for the production of collagen. Use Rosehip Oil daily to improve the elasticity of your skin and for a more youthful appearance.

3. Softens the look of scars, dark spots and stretch marks

When we said Rosehip Oil was an amazing multitasker, we meant it. The fatty acids in Rosehip Oil also work to soften the appearance of scars, fine lines and stretch marks. And if you’re concerned about dark spots, the Vitamin C in Rosehip Oil will help to minimise those too.

4. Firms and brightens

The high levels of Vitamin C in Rosehip Oil help to brighten the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and fight free radicals. Vitamins A, C & E work together to improve skin elasticity (firmness).

5. Calms inflammation

Vitamin E is known to calm and soothe irritation. Use Rosehip Oil daily if you suffer from rosacea, eczema, and other inflammatory skin issues.

6. Soothes acne & fades acne scars

Rosehip Oil is not an acne treatment.  However it is lightweight, non-pore clogging, soothing and healing. Apply to balance the skin’s natural oils and reduce the appearance of scarring and pigmentation caused by acne.
