The Benefits Of Rosehip Oil

You may be well versed in the emotional and psychological effects of the rose, especially if you have ever gotten a dozen of red ones on Valentine’s Day from that special someone.

And the heady, exotic scent is widely used in aromatherapy to invoke positive thoughts, feelings of joy, happiness and hope, and even spirituality.

But did you know that rosehip oil is inimitably beneficial for the skin?

Rosehip oil is derived from the seed pods that are left on rose bushes after the leaves have fallen away. Cold-pressing the pods provides the oil, which is used in many products for the body and home, and can even be taken as a supplement.

But on the skin is where rosehip oil really seems to bloom. A powerful astringent, it purifies pores and lifts and tones skin, yet without the drying properties of other products. It leaves your skin shining, fresh and youthful.

Rosehip oil also promotes good circulation, and has been shown to relieve complications of menstruation, like cramping and headaches, even when used topically.

You can also reap the holistic medicinal benefits of rosehip oil by using it on the skin. It is a very powerful antiseptic and antibacterial, cleaning out the things you can’t even see. It may even provide antiviral protection.

It reduces acne flare-ups, can treat burns and shrink scars due to its high vitamin C content. The fatty acids contained in rosehip oil is thought to smooth out lines and wrinkles, a boost for aging skin.

And of course, in addition to soothing your skin, it calms the psyche as well through aroma. A vacation for the bruised soul.

It is all these reasons that Sacred Glo uses rosehip oil as just one of the beneficial ingredients in their all-natural, hand crafted lotion candles. Recharge your happy inner child with exotic fresh scents like Sacred Clarity, Almond Glo, Nevis Island Breeze and Sensual Groove. Then, blow out the flame and enrich your skin with the warm lotion.
