Many people want to know whether rosehip oil is suitable for daily use. The answer is yes for all skin types, including those that are sensitive and/or prone to acne. Its non-comedogenic property prevents clogging of the pores. I recommend starting slowly, thus allowing for a gradual build-up in use. This safely promotes tolerance building.

Sensitive skin requires special attention with any product. Rosehip oil contains sedative properties. Begin with a patch test behind your ear. Apply every night for the first week. Then every other night for the following week. This way, your skin will not react.

Skin that is prone to acne benefits from the linoleic acid contained in rosehip oil because it helps to balance sebum production naturally. Apply it every morning and evening on cleansed skin, using three drops for the entire face. The oil fights acne by healing existing breakouts and reducing bacteria naturally. It will help to reduce inflammation in the future.

Dry/Dehydrated Skin

  • Apply 4 drops morning and night
  • Layer under moisturizer for extra hydration
  • Use continuously for best results

Combination Skin

  • Apply 3 drops to entire face
  • Focus extra oil on dry zones
  • Use light moisturizer on oily areas

Mature Skin

  • Apply twice daily focusing on wrinkles
  • Combine with gentle massage technique
  • Allow 8 weeks for visible improvements

Adapt your regimen according to changes with the seasons. In winter, there is a need for extra hydration. In the summer, a lighter application is needed. In hot, humid weather, use less. On the other hand, in cold, dry weather, extra oil is only healthy. It is necessary to listen to the demands of the skin as they are ever-changing.

For best results, use daily. Use oil after cleansing and before moisturizing. Use sunscreen over any daytime applications. Store the oil in a cool, dark place. Quality cold-pressed oils have a longer shelf life. Your skin will continuously improve with use.
