༺ Review: Rose Hip Oil ༻

I have found one skin care product I can't live without ~ Rose Hip Oil. This may sound like a drastic statement, but it’s true. I have struggled with skin problems over the last five years, and my skin was the worst it has ever been {even as a teenager} after Isabelle, my second child, was born.

I had blotchy, uneven skin tone, weird red patches, flaky skin, oily skin and loads and loads of spots all over my face that would take forever to heal. It was depressing, to say the least. I thought I’d left the acne behind, but now I had adult acne to deal with.

But my little sister went on a health kick {organic natural EVERYTHING} and told me to try Rose Hip Oil and Sukin Organics skin care products. I loved the cleanser, the toner and the hand cream, but I was astounded by the results of the Rose Hip Oil! It made me an essential oils convert for life.

Product Details: 

I bought my oil from a local discount chemist supplier, but you can purchase Rose Hip Oil online, or just about any where ~ it must be pure however, or it is not going to be as good for your skin. Trilogy skin care products have developed a reputation for the purest rose hip oils available and the best for skin nourishment.

More details about the Trilogy Rose Hip Oil product:

• An efficacious reparative oil for face & body
• Contains pure natural rosehip oil, rich in essential fatty acid (omega 3 & 6)
• Provides all-over hydration, strengthening & healing action
• Remarkably corrects the appearance of scars, stretch marks, fine lines & wrinkles
• Effectively treats dehydrated & aging skin
• Unveils a softer, smoother, more refined & healthier looking complexion
• To use: Gently massage a small amount into face or body day & night. Use alone or together with your regular moisturizing products

 

Review:  

My skin cleared up in a week to two weeks of using 3-4 drops of Rose Hip Oil every evening after cleaning my face with Sukin Face Cleanser. My skin tone evened out, the blotchy-ness and redness faded away, and while I still have to deal with errant spots breaking out on my chin, the rest of the acne has pretty much disappeared. Even better, the spots that I do get every once a month or so {you know the ones…}, aren’t as angry and don’t take half as long to heal.

I did fiddle around combining Rose Hip Oil with other traditional moisturizers for a few months, but now I use Rose Hip Oil mixed with a 50/50 base oil of Sweet Almond Oil as my only facial moisturizer. I have plans to add a few other essential oils to the mix:

• Argan Oil for greater moisturizing properties
• Ylang-ylang Oil for balancing properties – good for combination skin {this oil is very expensive though!}
• Neroli {orange blossom} Oil for healing scarring
• Chamomile Oil for healing damage skin and fighting acne

I will play around with the mixes, trying to get them in the right balance for my skin. That is the great thing about essential oils, you can create your own personalized skin care product with a little bit of research. Alternatively, there are a lot of skin oils available from cosmetic companies if you are looking for something simpler.

In saying that, if there is only one oil that you want to try, I would start with the Rose Hip Oil. It seems to be the most ‘all-purpose’ oil for skin care, acting like a multivitamin for your skin: rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants that are essential for skin health.

My Top Tip:  It is recommended to use some sort of carrier {base, or ‘real’ oil} to mix with your essential oil. I found that the Rose Hip Oil by itself did make my skin feel a bit too dry after a few weeks of use, I would recommend mixing it.

Conclusion:  

I will use Rose Hip Oil for my skin for the rest of my life. Other products may come and go, but not this one!

Rating:   10/10 ~ for perfect skin care.
