My beauty routine is simple and focused on natural and organic products. One of my favorite beauty products is oil - oil that comes from seeds and nuts. My face has greatly benefited from using products with the least amount of ingredients. I prefer oils that are 100% pure with no other ingredients. Most cosmetics seems to include a long list of ingredients, while pure oils contain one ingredient. Rosehip Oil is becoming quite popular in the natural beauty market. Rosehip Oil is a natural anti-aging facial treatment that heals and rehydrates the skin.

Organic Rosehip Oil by Valentia Skincare is made from rose hip seeds. This oil is made from organic rosa canina, commonly known as the dog rose, a variable climbing wild rose species native to Europe, northwest Africa and western Asia. Roses mature into a red orange fruit called a rose hip. When I was growing up in Eastern Europe, rose hips were used for a refreshing tea. Rose hip oil contains pro-vitamin A (mostly Beta Carotene). Rosehip Oil also contains many vitamins and nutrients that provide anti-aging and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Rosehip Oil is a great natural treatment for the following skin conditions:
The rosehip oil comes in a dark amber bottle to preserve the qualities of the oil. Oils are sensitive to light and must be stored in dark bottles to prevent oxidation. Oils that are not stored in dark bottles will oxidize, lose potency and become ineffective.
The rosehip oil is light to medium amber color. The oil feels very thick, but absorbs quickly. I was worried that the rosehip oil would be heavy on my skin, leaving it greasy, but it absorbed quickly because it is a "dry" oil. I have been using the rosehip oil daily to moisturize my face. The skin on my face immediately feels more supple and looks more moisturized. Dry skin has been a problem this winter and rosehip oil has helped to relieve the dryness.
Let's talk about the smell. Rose hips themselves have a unique and prominent smell. Therefore, rosehip oil has the same prominent smell. The smell is not overpowering, but it does linger. Since I have been moisturizing my face with the rosehip oil, I noticed the smell for quite some time (more than one hour) after applying. To reduce the smell, I added about 10 drops of lavender essential oil. Any essential oil would be a great addition to the rosehip oil.
I would recommend Valentia Skin Care 100% organic Rosehip Oil. Rosehip Oil is a great natural treatment for skin conditions and a great daily anti-aging moisturizer.
