Rose Hip Oil is perfect for Dry Skin Care

by Martha Fitzharris

Rosehip oil has been used for ages by indigenous people to soothe different skin problems. In fact, skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis are still treated with rose hip oil. Even scars - of all types - can effectively be treated using this natural product.

This amazing natural oil is a great way of treating a variety of different skin problems, even a very basic and common one - dry skin. If you have dry skin, then you know how difficult it can be to treat it with traditional products. Common skin care products either dry out this type of skin or irritate it with its fillers.

Rose hip oil is different. It is a natural, cold-pressed oil that contains no artificial fillers or irritating substances. Rose hip oil absorbs into the skin quickly because it has a low viscosity.

Rose Hip Oil & Dry Skin Care

If you're happy with your daily skin care routine, don't worry. You don't have to change everything just to reap the benefits of rose hip oil, simply include it in your skin care routine as a natural moisturizer. You can also reapply frequently throughout the day. Remember to wear a sunscreen product over the treated area to keep from suffering any problems with increased light sensitivity.

However, if you want to change your regular skin care routine, here are some changes you can make:

Cleansing

If you have dry skin then you should use a cream cleanser or non-comedogenic oil. Both types of products will help remove debris, excess sebum and dead skin cells without stripping the skin of moisture. All you have to do is apply the product with a cotton ball and remove it with a clean cotton ball.

Toning & Exfoliating

Using a toner is a good way of removing any residue left behind by your cleanser or makeup. If you are looking for a good toner then make sure that you pick one that is both alcohol and fragrance-free so that you don't dry out your skin or irritate it even further.

Everyone should exfoliate at least once a week. If you have dry skin, however, a natural product is the best solution. Commercial and homemade scrubs can damage your skin and strip it of healthy oils.

Moisturizing Basics

It is important to find a moisturizer that is fragrance and alcohol-free. This can be done by adding rose hip oil to your usual moisturizer or using it in its pure oil form, however, don't forget to reapply your moisturizer as many times as you need it throughout the day.

Rose Hip Oil: A Brief History

Rose hip oil is derived from the rose hips of a shrub known as Rosa moschata or rosa mosqueta. This oil has been used for centuries by indigenous tribes to help treat a vast number of health issues. The most common were scurvy, digestive disorders and dry skin problems, just to name a few.

BIOROSEHIPOIL offers you the purest form of rose hip seed oil available. There are other skin care products that contain lower levels of rose hip oil and are just as effective, however you will have to be more patient before noticing any real improvement in your skin. Besides treating dry skin problems, rose hip oil benefits include mitigating the signs of aging, reducing fine lines and minimizing the appearance of scars and stretch marks.
