Rosehip oil

While they both come from the rose bush, rosehip oil and rose oil aren’t one and the same. Rose oil is an essential oil (not really an oil texture-wise) that smells like a bouquet of roses and is taken from the flowers.

Rosehip oil is harvested from the fruit. This fruit is especially high in vitamin C as well as pro-vitamin A (which is different from your common retinol vitamin A), vitamin D, vitamin E, flavonoids, carotenoids, beta sitosteroland plenty of other difficult-to-pronounce but extremely beneficial vitamins and minerals.

Rosehip oil has been used medicinally for centuries. Some cite the oil as a cure for everything from the common cold to infectious and inflammatory diseases. While the science on these cures isn’t quite as readily available, there’s plenty of research supporting rosehip’s effects on skin.

As a beauty product, the oil is best known for its ability to tame inflammation — it helps skin destress and find its Zen by soothing redness and irritation. But it can also help promote healing and improve scars.

How does rosehip oil work its magic? Rosehip oil contains vitamin C and vitamin A, along with essential fatty acids like: oleic acid, palmitic acid, linoleic acid, gamma linolenic acid

What does rosehip oil do for skin?

  • Soothes inflammation
  • Hypes up hydration
  • Exfoliates

  • Staves off sun damage
  • Helps with scarring and fine lines

How to use rosehip oil:

Coconut oil:

Not every skin type can handle being soaked in the beloved oil. Coconut oil is known for lauric acid, which has antimicrobial properties and is known to fight acne-causing bacteria. One would think this would make it an excellent ingredient for oily, acne-prone skin, yet this ingredient has a bad reputation for clogging pores,” explains dermatologist Dr. Luigi L. Polla, founder of Forever Institut and Alchimie Forever. “That is because it is occlusive by nature—as are any oils whose purpose is to sit on top of the skin to seal in moisture and create a protective barrier against aggressors.”

According to Polla, it’s important to understand your skin type when introducing coconut oil into your routine. Although it’s scientifically disagreeable with oily or acne-prone skin, you might have success taking advantage of its skin-sealing capability. “Coconut oil is not inherently a nefarious ingredient,” says Polla. “This is a great ingredient to protect from trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). If the skin needs an occlusive protective ingredient to help lock in moisture and help the skin’s natural barrier function, coconut oil is a good option.” “In general, if one is concerned about pores being clogged, the less makeup one wears, the better.” And speaking of taking off makeup: “Coconut oil is more of a positive when one thinks of breaking up oil with oil, for example—in other words, using this ingredient as a makeup remover,” says the dermatologist.

“If you want to use coconut oil on the hair, it can actually be very beneficial as a deep-conditioning treatment, in which case you can leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes, or longer for those that have dry, porous hair,” says Young. “As coconut oil can be a little heavy, it's not recommended for very fine or thin hair types.”

Research has found that coconut oil may be just what your skin needs. Its benefits include:

    • Reducing inflammation
    • Stopping the damage caused by free radicals
    • Helping to prevent infection

How do you use coconut oil on your face overnight? Use coconut oil on your face much like you would use any night cream.

STEPS FOR USING COCONUT OIL OVERNIGHT

  • Liquefy 1 tablespoon of coconut oil by rubbing it gently between your hands. The liquefied oil will have a silky, light texture.
  • Smooth onto your face and neck. You can also use coconut oil on your chest and on other dry areas of your body.
  • Gently remove any thick residue with a soft tissue. Don’t use cotton balls, as they will stick to the oil on your face.
  • Leave a light layer of coconut oil on your skin overnight.
  • Avoid getting coconut oil into your eyes, as it may make your vision blurry temporarily.

If you’re pinched for time, coconut oil can also do double duty as a makeup remover prior to using as a night cream. * Simply follow these same steps twice. Use once to gently remove makeup and once to leave a light coating on your skin. Shop for organic coconut oil online.

Some people prefer to use coconut oil as an occasional or once-a-week emollient overnight treatment.

If your skin is oily or you have combination skin, you may wish to experiment with using coconut oil as a spot treatment around your eyes or on dry skin patches.

Grapeseed oil:

Grapeseed oil is an all-natural oil extracted from grape seeds that have been leftover from winemaking.

Grapeseed oil is rich in omega-6 fatty acids. Our bodies do not make these healthy fats, so it is essential that we get them in our diets. Adding grapeseed oil into our diets, such as cooking with it, has a variety of health benefits.

A diet rich in omega-6 fatty acids has been associated with better protection against the sun. This is because these compounds can reduce inflammation in the body and improve the pain and swelling in sunburns. It can also make our skin better protected against the sun’s harmful rays.

Lowered inflammation is also why omega-6 fatty acids may speed wound healing. Another benefit of better skin protection is brighter, more youthful-looking skin. Omega-6 fatty acids can help protect against signs of skin aging, like wrinkles and dryness.

Grapeseed oil is rich in antioxidants like vitamins C, D, and E, as well as polyphenols. Antioxidants protect against free radical damage and help to prevent certain types of cancer. Grapeseed oil has more vitamin E than soybean or olive oil.

Antioxidants can strengthen our immune systems and decrease LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.
