What do Kourtney Kardashian, Hailey Beiber and Miranda Kerr have in common? They all swear by the benefits of rosehip oil. This herby elixir seems to be creating quite the buzz—it has been deemed a godsent for your skin and hair, with its application going way back in time. Fast forward to the 21st century, and it’s still a staple in many beauty routines. But what exactly does it do and is it really worth the hype? Consultant dermatologist Dr Manasi Shirolikar breaks it down for us.
“Rosehip oil is derived from the seeds of the orange fruit found on wild rose bushes,” Dr Shirolikar explains. “It’s considered a beauty elixir because it’s packed with vitamins A, C, E and F, carotenoids, phenols, lycopene and essential fatty acids—like oleic, palmitic, linoleic and gamma linolenic—which help target ageing, collagen production and an overall improvement of skin and hair health.”
Clearly, the seeds pack a punch. Rosehip oil is an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties—and is therefore known as the one-stop solution for all your skincare and haircare concerns.
It promotes collagen production: Adding rosehip oil to your skincare routine helps stimulate the production of collagen, thereby improving skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
It hydrates, moisturises and nourishes: Rosehip oil contains a range of essential fatty acids, which help intensely hydrate your skin and scalp.
Adds shine to the hair: The lipids present in rosehip oil aid in restoring your hair’s natural moisture barrier.
It strengthens hair: The linoleic acid strengthens hair and prevents the strands from snapping back and breaking. The omega-3 fatty acids, on the other hand, boost hair health and prevent hair breakage and hairfall.
It restores damaged hair: The antioxidant properties found in rosehip oil may aid in fighting free radical damage.
According to the expert, rosehip oil is best suited for those with dry or mature skin. It is best avoided if you have sensitive skin, as the reaction to rosehip oil may lead to skin irritation and allergies. “Its symptoms include rashes, redness, hives, itching, wheezing, inflammation, itching and watering of eyes, chest discomfort and crusting of skin,” warns Dr Shirolikar. Lastly, if you are prone to scalp conditions such as dandruff, or in general have an oily or itchy scalp, Dr Shirolikar advises avoiding rosehip oil.
Rosehip oil can be used in multiple ways. One can either apply it directly on to the face as the last step of their skincare routine or mix it into their moisturiser. It can also be used as a pre-shampoo treatment in your haircare routine. Leave it on for 30 minutes before applying the shampoo, once or twice a week.
