COMING UP
ROSES
Love and romance ... and a pretty rose garden. Yes please. But this flower
offers so much more. They’re also extremely beneficial in skincare, with
plenty of products derived from the rose plant that give exceptional results.
Rose oil
Unlike Rosehip oil, this oil
comes from the petals of
the flower and not the
seeds. While also containing
antibacterial, antiviral and
antifungal properties, this oil
also has effects that extend
beyond skincare. After
application to the skin, studies
have shown results such as:
decreased anxiety and stress,
eased depressive symptoms,
and relief from menstrual pain.
To use rose oil, it can be lightly
dabbed onto the skin, added
to a diffuser or dropped
into a warm bath.

Rosehip oil
Rosehip oil comes from the seeds of the wild rose
bush and is high in Vitamin A and essential fatty
acids. This oil has regeneration properties, fixing
dry and damaged skin as well as reducing signs of
aging. It is also useful for scar tissue, with the ability
to reduce signs of stretch marks. It even has antiviral
and antibacterial properties due to the phenols
that it contains. It is said that Kate Middleton is
a fan of rosehip oil, using it in her daily skincare
regime. It has multiple benefits, including hydrating
and brightening your skin, moisturising, boosting,
collagen formation, reducing inflammation and
hyperpigmentation, and boosting overall immunity.
You can either simply apply a few drops to your skin
and rub in, or add it to your moisturiser.
