Areas of Use of Rosehip Oil

1. Skin Care :

   • Face Mask : Rosehip oil can be applied directly to the skin. Gently massage a few drops of oil onto cleansed skin. The oil helps the skin absorb it quickly.

   • Night Cream : Can be used before going to bed at night for skin renewal and moisturizing purposes. The skin wakes up fresher and more rested.

   • Acne and Scars : In the treatment of acne and lightening of scars, a cotton ball soaked in rosehip oil can be applied to the skin area.

2. Hair Care :

   • You can use rosehip oil as a hair mask by mixing it with other carrier oils (like jojoba oil or olive oil). After applying it to the ends of your hair, wait 30 minutes and wash it off to get more moisturized and shiny hair.

5. Aromatherapy :

   • Rosehip oil can be used in aromatherapy due to its relaxing effect. It provides moisture balance to the skin and has a calming effect.
