Hemani Essential Rosehip Oil

Uses Of Hemani Rosehip Oil 

Moisturizing

Harshchemicals and environmental pollutants can damage the outermost layer of the skin. This damage can leave the skin dry and itchy, and unable to retain adequate moisture.

A 2018 review suggests that rosehip and other oils may be useful for repairing the skin as a natural barrier.

People who have dry, itchy facial skin should apply the oil immediately after a bath or shower. Doing so helps to create a physical barrier over the surface, which traps in moisture.

Treating scars

According to a 2015 study, rosehip oil may reduce the appearance of scars, and improve scar-related skin discoloration.

The study involved 108 participants who were having surgery to remove skin tumors. Following surgery, some applied rosehip oil to their scars, while those in a control group did not.

After 6 weeks, the participants in the treatment group saw significant reductions in skin redness. By 12 weeks, the same individuals saw significant reductions in skin atrophy and skin discoloration.

The American Academy of Dermatology  state that keeping a wound moist may help to prevent scars. Thus, applying rosehip oil may help prevent wounds from drying out while reversing some signs of scarring.

Treating eczema

Eczema is an inflammatory skin condition  that causes chronic dryness, itchy red spots, and skin irritation.

Rosehip oil is rich in antioxidants that can help fight inflammation. It may, therefore, help to reduce the severity of eczema, especially if a person uses it alongside conventional eczema treatments.

Since rosehip oil can also prevent water loss from the skin, it may help to tackle chronic skin dryness.

Removing makeup

Traditional cleansers and face washes may contain harsh chemicals that can aggravate dry and sensitive skin. Rosehip oil is a good alternative that will not strip the skin of moisture. It may be particularly suited to people with dry or allergy prone skin.

Oil based cleansers can help dissolve even waterproof makeup, including mascara and long lasting foundation.

Lightening age spots

Some people claim that rosehip oil can help to prevent or reduce age-related skin discoloration such as age spots. However, there is no direct research investigating this claim.

Nonetheless, rosehip oil is very high in vitamin C. This vitamin helps to protect  skin cells from the damaging effects of sun exposure. According to a 2011 review, vitamin C could help reduce a person’s chances of developing age spots, while allowing the skin to repair previous sun damage.

Caring for acne prone skin

The skin absorbs rosehip oil quickly, which means that it is unlikely to clog pores. This makes it an ideal cleansing oil for people with oily or acne prone skin.

Additionally, rosehip oil contains compounds called retinoids, which may help reduce the appearance of acne.

A 2012 clinical trial investigated the anti-acne potential of a herbal cream containing rosehip oil and four other retinoid-rich plant oils. Some 60 participants with acne vulgaris took part. One group of participants applied the cream for at least 2 weeks, while a control group applied a placebo cream.

Participants who applied the herbal cream showed a significant reduction in the number of acne lesions, in comparison to the placebo group. Those using the herbal cream also had an overall reduction in skin inflammation.
