For Men: 6 benefits of Rosehip Oil for your skin
Men love their skincare and are just as eager as women when choosing quality products and skincare routines to suit their lifestyle and needs.
And their facial skin is getting most of the attention. Over 90% of products sold for men’s grooming are facial oils, serums and moisturisers.
Sun damage, skin repair, nourishment and maintaining a fresh and youthful appearance are all important to men, just as they are to women. With that in mind, a bottle of Rosehip Oil is a great addition to your facial skincare routine and a wise long term investment.
Here are 6 ways that Rosehip Oil will help your skin stay fresh, youthful and healthy.
1. Rosehip Oil deeply hydrates without leaving an oily residue
Rosehip Oil is a very fine oil that is easily absorbed by the skin. Our male customers love this quality of rosehip oil as it doesn’t leave an oily residue on their skin. Using it immediately after a shower is the best time as it can penetrate the deeper layers to restore cells and rejuvenate the skin.
2. Calms the skin after shaving
Rosehip oil is high in essential fatty acids Omega 3 and 6, which are anti-inflammatory and soothing to the skin. To calm freshly shaven skin, especially if you are prone to shaving rash, 3-4 drops is all you need. Massage gently into the skin every day after shaving and rashes be gone!
3. Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Kosmea’s Certified Organic Rosehip Oil has the highest Vitamin A levels in the market. Science has shown that the skin readily absorbs vitamin A when applied topically and Vitamin A is the key ingredient that stimulates the production of collagen.
Fine lines and wrinkles are reduced in their appearance as new skin layers are developed. Your skin maintains elasticity, smoothness and resilience, reducing the effects of ageing and environmental pollutants.

4. Eases dry and sensitive skin
Dry and sensitive skin is caused when the top layer of skin is depleted of water and oil which are important in regulating the skin’s temperature and providing a protective barrier. When this protective barrier is compromised, it causes dryness, itchiness, redness, scaling, flaking, peeling and in severe cases, potentially cracking and bleeding.
Rosehip Oil has come to the rescue for many of our customers with dry skin especially in winter. High levels of vitamins and essential fatty acids in Rosehip Oil are responsible for rejuvenation and restoration, and provide the nutrients needed for the skin to retain moisture and to calm sensitivity. Rosehip Oil has the perfect pH balance to be easily absorbed so that it reaches the deeper layers of the skin. Hence it’s effective at treating dry and sensitive skin.

5. Protects and repairs skin
Rosehip Oil protects the skin from the effects of UV rays, pollution, dehydration and other environmental factors that lead to premature ageing.
Sun exposure is the most common reason for premature ageing. Up to 90% of sun damage has already been done by the time a person reaches eighteen years of age. Rosehip Oil helps to reduce the impact of sun damage. The high vitamin A levels and essential fatty acids in Rosehip Oil help the regeneration of collagen and elastin fibres to keep skin firm and youthful. These essential fatty acids and vitamins are readily absorbed by the skin and help to slow the breakdown of these fibres.

6. Improves the appearance of scars and supports wound healing
Rosehip Oil is ideal for reducing the appearance of existing scars and minimising the formation of new ones after a wound has healed. Which makes it an exceptional oil to use after shaving, especially if you get shaving rash or are prone to nicks and cuts.
If you have acne scars, the nutrients in Rosehip Oil promote new skin growth which help to reduce both new and old scars. For wounds that are healing, daily application helps keep the damaged skin hydrated as it heals. This prevents tearing the skin in the surrounding area which leads to scarring. The sooner you use Rosehip Oil on a wound, the less risk of a scar developing.
