The beauty ingredient rose hip is often used in skin care products, and mainly facial care to be exact. The oil that's gained through the pressing of the seeds is well-known for its high concentrations of essential fatty acids, like linoleic acid and gamma linoleic acids. This maintains the suppleness of the skin.Rose hip oil also contains different vitamins like C, E and K, and other substances such as pectin, carotene, tannin and retinol. When it's highly concentrated, vitamin C can battle colored spots and can protect the skin against damaging influences from outside.
The oil is usually processed in caring creams and serums (look for the term 'Rosa Mosqueta'), but the oil can also be applied directly onto the skin. And if you want to give you body a little bit extra, choose more products that contain rose hip, like green tea.
