Rosehip oil has been used for centuries for treating damaged skin, but how do you know which kind of rosehip to use?
Whether they're left after damage to your skin from a condition like acne, eczema or psoriasis, or as a consequence of an injury or operation, living with scars can be distressing. But there’s help at hand to considerably improve their appearance!
The benefits of using rosehip oil to help fade scars are well documented, and widely supported by dermatologists the world over. In fact it’s been used in this way for an incredibly long time.
Rosehip oil can be applied to scars on its own, in a blend, or in a variety of different ways. It’s recommended for use on surgical or wound scars and stretch marks, as well as ageing skin, and skin with an uneven tone.
Rosehip oil's beneficial properties
As an unrefined, cold-pressed, 100% natural product that's had no chemical intervention or additional substances of any kind, rosehip is absolutely packed with nature’s goodness. It's rich in:
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin C
- Antioxidants
- Essential fatty acids (EFAs).
Rosehip oil is a powerful ingredient that celebs such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Middleton swear by as part of their skincare regime! With such enthusiastic endorsement from so many people, it’s no wonder that rosehip oil has earned the nickname ‘skincare superhero’.
But which rosehip oil should you use to help with the appearance of your scars, pure rosehip oil or a blend?
Which form of rosehip should you use?
Just as with anything, the choice can come down to individual needs and preferences. In general, rosehip is suitable for all skin types, but because using pure oil or a blend both yield favourable results there's no real carved-in-stone consensus as to which approach works best - so you can try either way to see which form suits your skin.
At Balmonds we’ve chosen some wonderful complementary oils to make a blend that will feed your skin with nourishing vitamins, and act as natural anti-inflammatories. These also make the blend a fantastic emollient for dry or rough skin.
In Balmonds Rosehip Scar Oil the rosehip is complimented by:
- Lavender
- Chamomile
- Calendula
- And palmarosa.
All of which are well known for their valuable nutritious and soothing qualities, to make a blend that has the regenerative powers of rosehip with some extra added properties!
How to apply our rosehip oil
You can apply our Rosehip Scar Oil anywhere on the body, as often as you like.
We recommend at least a daily application of a few drops where needed. It can take time to have effect, and of course how effective it is will depend on how old, how deep and how obvious the scar is. But over time it should help soften tight skin and leave it more supple and even.
