Uses of Rose in natural skin care
Rose is a potent ingredient in natural skin care with so many ways to use its derivatives. You may be using rose-based products without even realising it! Rosehip Oil is an extremely popular natural ingredient due to its richly hydrating properties and high content of nutrients and it's actually derived straight from Rosehip Seed. Rosehip Oil nourishes and brightens the skin naturally, making it particularly good for dry and mature skin types thanks to its ability to plump up fine lines and help target the appearance of pigmentation and age spots. Rose Water is another popular natural ingredient, and is made by steeping rose petals in water. Rose Water is incredibly soothing and is renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties, plus it has the ability to balance the skin's pH levels, making it a great all-rounder for most skin types.

Life Basics Rosehip Oil
To enjoy the benefits of pure Rosehip Oil, opt for the Life Basics Rosehip Oil, which is ideal for all skin types.

This oil is cold-pressed and 100% pure so you're reaping the benefits of Rosehip in its purest form. Apply to face and neck twice daily.
