Overseas, rosehip oil is a real sensation. In Poland, it is still one of the lesser known oils for skin care, although more attention is being paid to its beneficial properties. This is a product that has a great effect on mature skin, and at the same time - does not clog pores.
Admirers and lovers of natural care are well aware that the rose has potential. In the beauty industry, real triumphs have recently been demonstrated, for example, by Damascus rose hydrolate, which has a wonderful aroma and soothing properties, balancing the pH of the skin. It is a byproduct of the distillation of rose oil. And he himself? Is it suitable for care? Definitely - using it can help you improve skin hydration and firmness. And this is just the beginning of the list of benefits of using this fragrant oil!
Recently, rosehip oil has been heavily promoted by beauty authorities such as Miranda Kerr or Kate Middleton. They highly appreciated the beneficial effect of the product on the skin. Is it really that good for her? Definitely yes, especially when it comes to mature skin. The action of rose hip oil can be compared to grape seed oil, which seems to be more popular in Poland. Perhaps this is due to its easier availability and lower price.
Rosehip oil and rose petal oil - which one to use?
At the outset, a word of warning - when investing in rosehip oil, don't expect a crazy smell. The aroma of the product is mostly neutral, because it is created not from petals with fragrant essential oils, but from seeds.
You can also find rose petal oil on the market, but this is the so-called macerate. It is made on the basis of other oils, such as sweet almond or grape seed, in which the petals of a Bulgarian or Damascus rose are impregnated. Such oil has a slightly different effect than that obtained from rosehip seeds. It is very gentle and soothes and soothes the skin, but does not have such a strong anti-wrinkle effect.
Keep this in mind when choosing a care product. Also remember that damask rose oil can affect the skin differently depending on the base oil used in its production.
How does rosehip oil work?
Favored by celebrities from all over the world, this oil exhibits the following effects:
- regenerating;

The anti-aging effect of this oil is mainly due to the high content of antioxidants, vitamin C, which stimulates the regeneration of collagen bonds and unsaturated fatty acids, which strengthen the skin and improve its appearance.
