Rose-dingin-hip oil

Alright.
Once and for all.

You can buy rosehip oil at chemists or health food stores, or at DJs and Myer. Try brands like Kosmea, Trilogy, Akin, SHE and organic lines made by people who wear tie-dyed pants and live in the hills of Byron.

It will cost around 2o clams.

It is not intended for acne - there are far better things out there for you to put on your spots - but rather the treatment of the scarring that follows. It is excellent for scarring.

It is excellent for hydrating the skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines - at first cosmetically, but long term as well. (Dabbing onto your laugh lines in the afternoon works a treat to freshen up the face. Glow on, try it. Boom tish.)

As it has vitamins, fatty acids and stuff, it's excellent to use an anti-aging serum before your day or night cream, or massaged in as a mini facial.

It can be used on oily skin, but again, there are better things to use. See, while oily skin is often dehydrated (which is why the skin is oily - the skin overproduces oil in an effort to hydrate - which is why harsh scrubbing is bad; you only exacerbate things) using a light face oil like rosehip oil, with its combo of fatty acids, vitamins and a similar PH to our own sebum, means that rather than adding to the oiliness, the oil actually melts into the skin, absorbs quickly and even allows the skin to breathe. Same with cleansing oils - they attract oil and draw it out, making them ideal for oily skin, which people don't expect to be the case. You'll just have to suck it and see, fruits.

It contains vitamin C and lycopene (antioxidants) making it great for after sun or  even sun burn, not that you should ever have any.

It's excellent for excema and psoriasis and nappy rash and scars and stretch marks and if you are you not sold yet, you never will be so you know what? I'm done.

Yeah, Im a huge fan of rosehip Oil.
The coldpressed is the best and also one that has not been refined,so dosent make my skin itchy like most on the market. The best is Lily loves Pearl's rosehip oil. I bought it from Pukka in Bay street,Brighton, Melbourne. Definately deserves a nobel prize!

hey fruity!

i am a MASSIVE fan of the Rosehip...but wanted to ask - is this OK for under the eyes??

I had a consultation with a skin specialist (RE: IPL) the other day - and im not sure if this was to tie in with her 'buy Dermalogica' pitch, but when i was explaining the products i use on my face, i told her i use eyecream and then rub rosehip around the cheeks/ eye area (alongside the other essential parts of my routine) and she gave me a stern "No, no - you cannot do that, Rosehip will CREATE lines....!"

Was she telling me sweet, sweet lies??

hey fruity, this stuff rocks!! i work in the Pilbara (red dirt, very very hot, frogs in toilet) and my skin was dying. this awesome stuff has got my skin back on track. just to let other fruits know, ReNew do an awesome organic rose hip oil, and a wicked handcream also. fabulous! keep up the good work :)

[isabelle]

yes but what do us pimply fruits do? i am at a loss. i am 26, still get pimples and yet i'm starting to get wrinkles too - waaa! my poor skin actually stops me from putting on sunscreen (bad, i know! but i wear hat, sleeves, etc...), and moisturiser for fear of getting the dreaded pimplies... help help help!

[Pixie]

Fruity would you be able to answer Grace's question on hear as I'd be interested to hear your answer to that one also. Ta Fruity. You are the best!!!!!!

[grace .n]

[Rochelle]

I rushed out and bought the Kosmea one today, can't wait to try it! I'm yet to be disappointed by one of Fruity's recommendations. :-)

Pixie - it is totally fine for your baby. I was a super-cautious mum but none the less used it on my babies with positive results.

[alana]

hey fruity!
just wondering if rosehip oil is more for mature fruits or can we teenage fruits still use it too?

(also on another note, a HUGE thankyou to whoever recommended gumption for ridding my hands of tan, works a treat... except for when silly me sleeps with my hands touching my tanned up skin and then wakes up with fluorescent palms... *sigh*)

lol thanks fruity!

[Charlotte]

Thanks for the fantastic advice yet again Fruity!! Rosehip oil's benefits sound amazing and I'm sold. I think this might even be good for my boyfriend who is trying to get rid of a horrible scar from surgery he had after a car accident last year, so thanks for the tip!

Oh fruity. How wise you are (and of course your trusty sidekick rosehip oil)

[Lynn]

Been lurking around for awhile without commenting, but since I got introduced to rosehip oil through this blog (Thanks, fruity!), and since it's pretty amazing, I just had to comment. It's wonderful. With it on, you get this nice glow, and I get compliments on my skin now, which never, and I mean NEVER happened before. I've been harping on to everyone I know to try it, and I don't see why that should not extend to cyberspace. Heh.

[Pixie]

A friend of mine discovered rosehip oil about a year ago and when she was using it her skin was looking visibly amazing. I could really see a difference. I have started using it and my skin is glowing. I have very dry skin and it just feels baby soft and nourished now. I have been using Renew organic rosehip oil from the healthfood shop.

Fruitie, I was wondering if you know if I can use it on my 17 month old babies excema. Is it too strong for babies or something?

You're a beauty genius Fruits and we all love you!!!!

[Christine]

thanks for that :)

[Simone]

thank you honey :)
xox

[Lucy]

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!! HAV 2 buy it!!!
Elise is soooo right-deserves a nobel prize

[Kat]

OK ok ok, fine Fruity - after all your ramblings I'm finally gonna do it! Will run up to the shops this arv. Happy?!

[Elise]

Rosehip oil is also magical on excema. If you, like me, suffer the wrath of the little rash then drip some magic oil on it. It will help clear it up and fight off future attacks.

Rosehip oil deserves a Nobel Prize.
