Taking one for the team and heading dangerously into facial oil hoarding territory...because I've just added yet another new oil to my medicine cabinet: rosehip oil.
The one I'm using is from Rosehip Plus, an Aussie brand (I'm pretty much a fan of anything coming out of Australia; they seem to really know how to do natural right. It could also be because I've just indulged in a back-to-back marathon of Real Housewives of Melbourne! And to my Aussie readers- good on ya!).
Rosehip oil is highly recommended for reducing scars and fine lines. It also reputedly strengthens broken and damaged capillaries and acts as an astringent to heal and reduce redness, so I'm hoping it will help my rosacea. It is extracted from the seeds of the fruit of the rose bush, and the Rosehip Plus brand is cold pressed, which is an important criteria to keep its natural benefits. High in omegas, and vitamins A and C, this lovely oil packs a punch.
So far it seems perfect for combination skin as it's a lighter oil than argan or avocado. After a late night with one too many drinks (whoopsies!), this morning I soaked a cotton pad with Thayer's cucumber witch hazel to cleanse/tone my skin, sprayed with my Avene thermal spray and then applied the oil. It felt really soothing on my poor dehydrated skin.
