Rosehip oil is an oil that is extracted from the small fruits inside of roses – known as ‘hips’ – via cold compressing. While the two are often confused, rosehip oil is not the same as rose essential oil, which is extracted from rose petals rather than the hips. 

For thousands of years, rosehip oil has been utilized by a variety of different civilizations for its healing properties, including Native Americans, Mayans, and ancient Egyptians. Today, rosehip oil is found in a wide range of beauty products thanks to both the benefits that it provides as well as its sweet aroma. 

When combined with baking soda, rosehip oil can work wonders as a natural exfoliator. Its cleansing properties enable it to clear away dead skin cells in a way that is gentle enough to avoid irritating sensitive skin.

Perhaps the most astounding benefit of rosehip oil is its ability to boost collagen production. As we age, our collagen production slows down. Since collagen is one of the skin’s most important building blocks and an essential part of keeping skin firm and elastic, this reduction in collagen production is one of the key factors that lead to wrinkles. By boosting your skin’s ability to produce collagen, applying rosehip oil to your face can go a long way toward preventing those pesky wrinkles.

Rosehip oil has been shown in numerous studies to help hydrate and moisturize skin. It contains a wealth of essential fatty acids, which serve to keep the walls of your skin cells strong so that they can better retain the water that they hold.

In addition to strengthening the cell walls of your skin cells, the fatty acids – along with an abundance of antioxidants – found in rosehip oil also aid in the skin’s cell and tissue regeneration process. This makes rosehip oil a great product for fading both scars and fine lines. 

With everything that rosehip oil gives amazing benefits to the skin, I am so glad that I found a perfect skincare product that fits the bill. Using this Sukin Rosehip skincare range for more than a year (and still using it!), I noticed the tremendous change of my skin from being oily and dull, into a healthy skin that adopts the southern hemisphere climate. 

I rarely got huge pimples nowadays (compared to when I was in the Philippines), and while using this skincare range, I’ve noticed that my pimple makes fades in a shorter period, especially when I use the Sukin Rosehip Oil regularly, during the day and night. The Sukin Moisturizers help to keep my skin healthy and moisturized especially during the winter season.

The Sukin Rosehip Oil is like a manicure in a bottle – apply a drop or two to cuticles at night and massage. The oil penetrates the nail helping to reinforce the natural structure leaving nails stronger and hands smoother.

Back in the Philippines, I was one of those who join the bandwagon of Korean 12-skincare steps, however, after moving here to Australia and finally discovering the right skincare that fits my skin type, I managed to simplify my skincare product needs in half. 

I am a proud discount shopper, and oftentimes many retail stores such as Woolworths, Coles, ALDi, and chemist shops such as Chemist Warehouse, Priceline, etc. sell a wide range of Sukin skincare products at discounted prices. Always check these shops for discounts.
