From the following video, you can find out another recipe for a rejuvenating rosehip oil cream:

Many cosmetics that are well suited to our skin, alas, cannot be used around the eyes. And here begins the search for additional tubes for bruises, edema, "crow's feet" ... However, home cosmetology can offer a way out of the situation: there are substances that can be simultaneously used to improve the general condition of the skin and under the eyes. For example, rosehip oil is used for the face. Wild rose is able to get rid of wrinkles, moisturizes well, evens out complexion, heals wounds, protects from sunburn and gently solves the problem of delicate areas near the eyelids. However, the product is not suitable for everyone. About contraindications and rules for use - in our material.

Rosehip is an integral part of the "grandmother's first aid kit". It is a unique plant with healing fruits and beautiful flowers.

There is a legend according to which the Greek goddess of love Aphrodite, having learned about the death of her chosen one, in emotions ran through the dense thickets. The branches clawed at the goddess. The drops of her blood, which remained on the bushes, turned into luxurious buds of a wild rose - rose hips.

The plant has versatile medicinal properties. It is capable of healing wounds and cracks, relieves inflammation, improves the functioning of the digestive system and the cardiovascular system, soothes and relieves stress, is a diuretic and removes bile from the body.

Infusions, decoctions, teas - this is the usual form of drinking wild rose for us. But today they have learned to process the plant in another way. Oil is obtained from the dried seeds. The product can be bought over the counter and can also be used for medical or beauty purposes. The average cost is about 200 rubles. for 100 ml, depending on the manufacturer.

Vitamin C - anti-aging factor

The beneficial properties of rosehip vegetable oil and its unique composition have made the product especially popular in home cosmetology. What is so important about this substance?

A feature is the high content of ascorbic acid in the chemical composition of rose hips. This plant has ten times more vitamin C than currants. And 50 times more than lemon!

For our body, this is immunity, and for the skin - youth. After all, ascorbic acid is a powerful antioxidant that blocks the negative effects of harmful substances and factors, slowing down the aging process and protecting the epidermis from diseases. Interestingly, it is rosehip that is used in the production of a number of ascorbin-containing medicinal products.

How it improves the skin and in what cases it can harm

But the product is not rich in "ascorbic acid" alone. The beneficial properties of rosehip oil for the face are also determined by unsaturated fatty acids, macro- and microelements. The following are the main components of rosehip oil that affect the condition of the human skin.

Unsaturated fatty acids. Moreover, rosehip oil contains a whole portfolio of them. These are useful substances, the lack of which immediately affects the condition of the skin. For example, a deficiency of linolenic and linoleic acids causes acne. In addition, linoleic acid evens out the water balance and retains moisture in the layers of the epidermis. This solves the problem of intensive moisturizing of the skin. Also, the substance "reflects" ultraviolet radiation. Oleic acid, which is also found in wild rose oil, stimulates collagen production and provides a lifting effect. And myristic acid helps to penetrate into cells and gain a foothold there for other important components.
"Vitamins of beauty". Here are the B vitamins, which tighten and moisturize the skin, make it silky, and prevent the appearance of acne. Rosehip oil also contains vitamin E, which oxygenates the skin and smoothes furrows even around the eyes. Vitamin K, which is used for the healing of plastic postoperative sutures, is also found in the wild rose product. This component, among other things, has a whitening effect and removes pigmentation. Vitamin A prevents aging. Nicotinic acid improves skin "breathing", retains moisture, relieves inflammation and prevents the appearance of flakes.
Macro and microelements. Wild rose oil contains potassium, which regulates the water balance of the epidermis. Ferum improves blood circulation processes, tones up. Calcium normalizes the production of sebum, increases the elasticity of the skin. Magnesium relieves puffiness, improves texture. Phosphorus gives a healthy color and tightens. Zinc prevents acne breakouts.

The main tasks that rosehip oil solves when it comes into contact with our skin is hydration and rejuvenation. Also indications for use include puffiness, circles under the eyes, dark spots, scars and irritations.

This product is ideal for dry to normal skin. However, with a fatty type and boils, the "juice" of a wild rose is categorically contraindicated, since it can aggravate existing problems in the work of the sebaceous glands. And with the combined type, it is not recommended to apply the substance to the skin in the T-zone.

Simple ways to use

According to reviews, rosehip oil is good for the face from the wrinkles that have already appeared, reducing their depth, and slows down the processes of the appearance of new grooves. Moreover, the results are visible after a few weeks of regular procedures. And you can use a wild rose all the time, taking traditional preventive breaks.

Girls who are struggling with the problem of dry epidermis can even apply rosehip oil to their face instead of cream or moisturize their lips. This will require a cotton pad and a cosmetic product itself. Also, wild rose is not prohibited from adding to store tubes. The permissible ratio is about four drops per teaspoon of finished cosmetics.

This product is also well suited for face and body massage. In its pure form, rosehip oil is also used in the treatment of skin diseases and to get rid of pigmentation, scars after acne.

How is cosmetic rosehip oil used?

It is not difficult to buy a herbal remedy, because it can be found on the shelves of any pharmacy. For cosmetic purposes, rosehip oil can be used in a variety of ways. As mentioned above, it can be the main ingredient in anti-aging and moisturizing masks.

Also, the oil can be used in a concentrated form without diluting with additional components. Most often, in this version, it is used to get rid of facial wrinkles. The oil is also suitable for cleansing the face. You just need to moisten a cotton pad with it and wipe the skin thoroughly.

Since the oil has a pronounced moisturizing and softening effect, it is advisable to use it to eliminate flaking, sticking in the corners of the mouth. Also, it can be applied not only on the face. Rosehip oil does a great job of softening the skin on elbows, knees and heels.

To do this, apply the undiluted herbal remedy to the eyelashes with a special brush every day. If desired, it can be mixed with sea buckthorn and burdock oils.

How to do it yourself

For lovers of everything natural, you can try to make the remedy at home. There are three ways to create rosehip oil:

The first option involves the use of dried plant fruits. They must be crushed and divided into three equal parts. The first of them should be poured with olive oil warmed up to a temperature of 40ºC. All powder should be underneath. After that, the mixture must be put in a dark place for 7 days.

After this time, it is necessary to get it out, reheat it to the required temperature and pour in the second part of the crushed seeds. Put it back in a dark place. Repeat the procedure for the remainder. Store the finished rosehip oil in the refrigerator.

This option is somewhat easier to prepare. Now you need to take not dry, but fresh fruits of the wild rose and chop them. Pour the resulting mass into a jar so that it occupies three quarters of the volume. The remaining space is filled with hot olive oil heated to 50 degrees. The remedy should be infused for a couple of weeks. Then the mass will need to be filtered and stored in the refrigerator.
The latter option involves the use of both rose hips and flowers. The first step is the same as always - grind the ingredients to a state of gruel. Pour the mixture with olive or corn oil. Moreover, the proportion is slightly different here. One part of the powder must be diluted with three volumes of oil. Let the mixture brew for two weeks, and after this period, get the product and put on fire, bring to a boil.
Strain and pour into a bottle or dark glass jar.
