Everyone knows how useful rose hips are for our body during the period of airborne deficiency, because it is a storehouse of vitamins and flavonoids. Actually, the same can be said about rosehip oil (Rosa Mosqueta), where all the benefits are contained in a much more concentrated form, because the right oil is extracted not just anyhow, but from the seeds of the plant. So, to all the vitamins contained in rose hips, essential fatty acids (the same Omegas) are added, which means the beneficial effect increases significantly. But I will not go into the therapeutic properties of this oil to strengthen the body from the inside; I will talk about its use for cosmetic purposes for facial skin.

Rosehip oil is called nothing less than the most effective oil for facial skin, restoring radiance to the skin, preventing aging and having a powerful regenerating effect. Well, if not the most, but one of the most - for sure! There is no magic in this, because Rosehip oil is a natural source of retinoic acid- one of the main components in the fight for youth and healthy skin.

So here I am, I decided to start my acquaintance with retinoids not with cosmetic preparations, which can be addictive and where there can be a serious number of contraindications, but with rosehip oil as an inexpensive and natural alternative for all this “heavy artillery”.

Rosehip oil- it's the same Oleum Rosae, it's the same Rosa Mosqueta, it's the same Rosehop Seed Oil, it's the same Wild Rose Oil- designations that can be found both in the names of this product and in the composition of cosmetics.

Essentially - it's all the same thing - oil pressed from rosehip seeds, the so-called - base or fatty oil. The most valuable base rosehip oil is cold pressed, which retains the maximum of nutrients and vitamins.

Rosehip essential oil is obtained from the petals of the plant by distillation. In terms of their properties, they will have many similar indications, but it is worth remembering that essential oils are more concentrated, and most of them cannot be used in their pure form on the skin (much less internally). But base oils do not have such contraindications.

Rosehip oil contains vitamins A, C, E, F and carotenoids, a rich composition of fatty acids - trans-retinoic acid, oleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, linoleic acid.

People call this oil “golden” or “sunny”, which reflects not only its beneficial properties, but also how this oil looks - proper rosehip oil - almost orange color, which is given to it by carotenoids. It’s like with a carrot, the brighter and more orange it is, the more of those same carotenoids it contains.

In addition, the right oil that is not scary to use on the face is weightless and light, it will almost never feel like a greasy film on the skin and is absorbed into it almost instantly. This is one of the reasons why rosehip oil is RECOMMENDED for use even by those with oily facial skin.

Rosehip oil benefits and harms

All properties of Rosa Mosqueta oil, both positive and negative, are directly related to its active composition.

Beneficial properties of rosehip oil or 10 reasons to love it

Rosehip oil does not have a 100% analogue in the world of oils, because... one of the few contains trenitoin or trans-retinoic acid. In cosmetology, this component has a wide range of applications - from fighting acne to loss of elasticity and sagging in aging skin. For everything it does, precious rosehip oil deserves a gold medal. But I’ll just list the range of skin problems that rosehip oil can solve:

1. Helps to quickly heal any skin damage caused, including by deficiencies of vitamins A and manifested as eczema, the appearance of “stubs” in the corners of the mouth, etc.
2. Helps in the fight against acne, inflammation and other manifestations of acne. Stabilizing the production of excess sebum and helping to quickly clear the skin of inflammation.
3. Restores the lipid barrier of the skin and allows it to more easily resist negative external influences - such as cold, wind and even heavy metals, which are somehow present in the air of any large city.
4. Solves the problem of dehydration, leading to loss of skin elasticity, the appearance of fine and even deep wrinkles, peeling and irritation (which occurs in any skin type, including oily).
5. Improves complexion.
6. Increases skin elasticity by stimulating collagen synthesis in the skin with trenitoin
7. Indicated for rosacea of ​​the skin, because strengthens the walls of blood vessels.
8. Used in the fight against hyperpigmentation, evening out skin tone and giving a soft whitening effect on the skin.
9. Helps with stretch marks, both at the stage of their prevention and in the treatment of already appeared stretch marks or stretch marks.
10. For scalp problems - dandruff, itching, inflammation and oily hair - rosehip oil can also have a good therapeutic effect.

Rosehip oil is used not only for the cosmetic skin problems I have listed, but also for the treatment of such serious skin diseases as dermatitis, scars and cicatrices, psoriasis and eczema. When used independently or when used in combination with medications, rosehip oil can significantly speed up recovery.

Harm of rosehip oil

Like any natural remedy, rosehip oil may have a number of individual negative reactions to it, due to which its use may be impossible. Mainly, these are individual allergic reactions and intolerances that can occur to the same vitamin A or C. Therefore, before using it on the face, it would not be superfluous to conduct a skin test on the bend of the arm if redness, burning or other manifestations of allergy do not occur

Also, although adjusted for less “thermonuclearity,” the restrictions on rosehip oil can be comparable to those imposed when using trenitoin in the form of creams and peels.

• Due to the high activity of retioids, their combined use with acids should be avoided. To get an ideal result and avoid possible problems on the skin of the face, you need to alternate them.
• Due to the high concentration of vitamins A and C, rosehip oil should not be used on the skin before going outside, especially in summer and in active sun. Instead of whitening and anti-aging, you can get the opposite result in the form of, for example, hyperpigmentation.

But in general, the main harm from rosehip oil can only be obtained if what you have in your hands is not rosehip oil, but its counterfeit. Most often, in order to reduce the cost of production, the manufacturer uses some cheaper oil to which it adds rosehip oil. Its concentration may be minimal, but the label will say that it is “rosehip oil.” Unfortunately, the fact that the oil is sold in a pharmacy does not provide protection from purchasing low-quality oil. And most often it’s precisely this kind of surrogate lack of oil that I see there. Very cheap and almost pointless.

To protect yourself from counterfeits, read the label carefully before purchasing, and it is better to give preference to proven and reliable manufacturers, for whom reputation is not the last thing.

Reviews of Pure Rosehip Seed Oil from Life-flo

One of the reliable brands in terms of oil quality that I trust is Life flo.

Inexpensive (only 340 rubles), but high-quality cold-pressed rosehip oil is sold on iHerb and is almost the most purchased oil in this category, for which several thousand (!!!) positive reviews have already been written. Well, I’ll add my opinion about it.

This oil comes in a convenient 30 ml package. made of dark glass with a pipette that allows you to easily dispense this oil without spilling a drop.

The composition of this oil consists of 99% pure rosehip oil, plus tocopherol (vitamin E) is added here, which is used here as a preservative to keep this oil fresh for as long as possible. In addition, we should not forget that vitamin E itself has a pronounced anti-aging effect, which even women knew about in Soviet times.

Many women with a post-Soviet past and who know what a cosmetic deficiency is, once actively used Aevita capsules (vitamins A and E) for external use to nourish the skin of the face.

Although this drug is now quite cheap and accessible, it cannot be called too convenient to use. The capsules are quite hard and you have to try to crush them and not stain yourself and everything around with oil, and this oil itself is very fatty, dense, which can not only feel like an oily oil film that can only be washed off the face rather than wait, that it will once be absorbed into the skin, but it can even clog pores and cause inflammation.

Rosehip oil is, in fact, the same “Aevit”, but not synthetic, like vitamin capsules, but NATURAL and much more pleasant to use.

Life flo rosehip oil is the same “correct” bright golden color, very thin and light, weightless, absorbed into the skin almost instantly, especially when used correctly. But I’ll talk about this a little lower.

It copes with its tasks perfectly; the effect of glow, smoother and denser skin is noticeable to the naked eye even after one or two uses. The only drawback I found with this oil is the specific aroma of fish oil. But here you either have to endure it, this smell quickly disappears, or add essential oils to the rosehip oil. Or immediately choose a version of this oil with essential oils added by the manufacturer. Not only will it smell delicious, but it will also provide even more benefits.

Using rosehip oil on the face

Rosehip oil for the purpose of rejuvenation and solving a wide range of skin problems is perfect for both men and women; it can be used for the face, body, and hair. It can be used as independent remedy, and in mixtures with other base or essential oils. In general, you can do whatever you want with it, but taking into account the amendments that are described in the section on the possible harm of this oil.

Rosehip oil should be used only at night, avoiding the area around the eyes and always after preliminary testing for possible allergic reactions.

The instructions for using rosehip oil suggest simply applying a couple of drops of oil to the skin of the face until completely absorbed; after 20 minutes, excess oil can be blotted with a napkin. But I almost never do that.

If we talk about me, then I, as a noble lover and collector of oil in my care, use rosehip oil in my own way. standard scheme application, so to speak, method for applying oils for the laziest. After washing and toning the skin in the evening, according to my condition and desire, I apply some kind of moisturizing or healing serum from my arsenal (for example, the same one), and on top of it, when the serum is absorbed, I apply this (or another) oil.
Simply, I rub the same 2-3 drops of oil between my palms and simply apply them to my face. This way you avoid excess oil on your face from the very beginning. Well, after such a combination of oil + serum, I see the greatest effect on myself.

It also gives a good effect applying oils to damp skin- moisturized with tonic, floral water (hydrolate) or moisturizing spray. Moreover, in this case, you can moisturize the skin both BEFORE using the oil and after. And even better, before and after, although this is contrary to the laws of physics, the penetrating ability of the oil on wet skin increases significantly.

If you prefer to use creams at night, or your skin is very dry and you need a comprehensive solution to its problems, rosehip oil can be used without any problems. add to your traditional night cream, to which you are accustomed, to enrich its composition. Just don’t pour it directly into the jar so that some chemical reactions and the cream deteriorates faster, and in the amount of cream that you will use right now. Actually, rosehip oil is often found in cosmetics, but its concentration there is usually extremely low.

If you are not lazy and an advanced user of oils in your care, you can go to multi-component facial oils By experimenting with different combinations you can get the best result that your skin will especially like. A combination of argan oil, jojoba oil, and rosehip oil gives good results for dry skin. For oily skin, grape seed and argan oils are more suitable for mixtures.

Also rosehip oil can be wonderful base oil for the face and preparation of healing mixtures based on it. You can enhance the concentration of the benefits of Rosa Mosqueta oil by using expensive but effective rose oil, which is incredibly beneficial for all types of skin; sandalwood, lavender and tea tree oil will help fight inflammation and acne; lemon and grapefruit essential oil can enhance the whitening effect, which helps improve complexion, and neroli oil has a rejuvenating effect.

Rosehip oil in homemade face masks

Rosehip oil can also be used in various face masks. Here, too, the field for experimentation is almost endless. Here is an example of one of these masks for oily and combination skin with acne.

Rosehip oil price

As is the case with many other oils, I will once again warn against purchasing rosehip oils of unknown quality in ordinary Russian pharmacies, the price of rosehip oil is even High Quality- is quite low, so I don’t see any sense in such savings on quality.

The easiest way to buy rosehip oil is on the iherb website, where the quality of the product is monitored much more carefully than in our pharmacies.

Life-Flo Rosehip Oil which I myself am currently using and which I wrote a review of above - it’s worth 340 rubles on the iHerb website, for those who are scared by the fragrance with the aroma of fish oil - the same oil is available here with a floral aroma with additives from a mixture of essential oils (geranium, ylang-ylang and sage) for 689 rubles. , for the same 30 ml., and for those who want to use it not only for the face, but also for the body, or want to stock up on it for their whole family, it is available in a larger volume - 118 ml. for 1336 rubles.
