If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the actual experience has to be worth a good, thick novel. If you are ready to experience Rosehip oil for yourself, this is the place to start. We’ve provided recipes for everything from a daily skin tonic to a solution for achy joints. You can modify these recipes to fit your own skin care needs, or search the plethora of resources online to find your own best brew. However you approach it, be sure that the Rosehip oil you choose is the best quality, contains no added synthetics, and is 100% natural — such as the Rosehip from Real Oil.

Here are a few tips as you begin:

Rosehip is lighter than many carrier oils, and absorbs quickly into the skin. For this reason, it’s great to use on the face and on dry patches across your body before bed — without the risk of mucking up sheets and pillowcases. If you prefer more of a glide feeling across the skin (for massage, for instance), combine Rosehip with Fractionated Coconut oil or Jojoba oil.
Be aware that Rosehip oil has a shorter shelf life than other carrier oils (6-12 months). Store it in a cool, dark place to extend the freshness, and check occasionally for oxidation (a very strong smell or change in color).
For those with sensitive skin, it is a good idea to test for skin sensitivity with a spot check before using a new oil. Do this by placing a drop of oil on a bandaid and applying it to your skin overnight. If you don’t notice any irritation in the morning, you are good to go!
