Rosehip Seed oil is derived from the small fruit that sits beneath the rose. It is a
widely popular ingredient in skincare known for its hydrating and anti-aging benefits,
but its uses can be applied for dark spots in melasma and hyperpigmentation as well. Now the
reason why I like rosehip oil, is one: because it is beneficial for all skin types and 2:
because it has high levels of essential fatty acids, omega-3 and omega-6,
which can effectively soften skin and improve skin barrier function. In this video, we will look at
what rosehip seed oil is, why you should consider using it if youre struggling with dark spots,
and the best rosehip seed oil products that are out there. Definitely stay tuned till the end
of the video, and youll also learn why rosehip, should be on your list for treating dark spots.

now lets not waste any more time, lets get straight into rosehip seed oil.
Rosehip oil is also known as rosehip seed oil, and It’s derived from the rosa canina rose bush, which
you find in Chile. And its reputation dates back to ancient times when Egyptians, Mayans and Native
Americans all used it for its healing properties. And because its also packed with antioxidants,
vitamins A, C, and E, phenolic compounds, as well as fatty acids, this perfect blend will
help restore and rejuvenate the skin. Just ask kate middleton and her mom carole middleton,
they both use it in their skincare routines, and they both have glowing skin. But what about it,
actually makes it such a versatile product and most importantly, how does it address dark spots.
To understand this, we have to take a close look at collagen, and when we look at collagen,
we have to look at a certain vitamin, which is, you guessed it, Vitamin A. Rosehip oil is
rich in vitamin A which is essential for the production of collagen. But looking deeper,
Rosehip has been shown to to inhibit the production of matrix metalloproteinase 1 , MMP-1
which is an enzyme that breaks down collagen in the body. So if you stop the breakdown of
collagen, you have more collagen, and we all know how important collagen is for the skin. But for
what you all are wondering, specifically in dark spots, how would rosehip help, and to get a good
snapshot of this, lets look at Hyperpigmentation as a whole, what you are facing with is a
problem of excess melanin forming dark spots or patches on the skin. From a number of causes,
right. You have sun exposure, hormonal changes in pregnancy and menopause, certain medicines
including birth control and chemotherapy, these are all said to be culprits of skin discoloration.
Where rosehip steps in, is really with its arsenal of vitamin A. Vitamin A is made of compounds
which include retinoids. Retinoids are known for their ability to reduce hyperpigmentation
and other visible signs of discoloration. Further than this, rosehip, contains both lycopene and
beta carotene, which are natural skin lighteners on their own. And lycopene being abundant in
tomatoes, is how tomatoes got their rep for skin brightening. But then in 2015, an interesting
study came out, that convinced me that rosehips uses can go beyond reversing skin discoloration
and may in fact help with scar discoloration as well, which blew my mind. This 2015 study,
conducted on post-surgical patients, meaning patients after a surgery, found that those
who treated their incision sites, with rosehip oil twice a day saw major improvements in scar color,
yes, you heard that right, scar color all within 12 weeks, compared to those who didn’t.
Which to me is just absolutely incredible. And if your wondering which brand, the one
I recommend is the one by trilogy, and you can pick one up in the description below this video.
So dont forget to check that out down below. its cold pressed, batch tested, and certified organic
from the seed to the bottle. And there are 2 ways to use it – apply two to three drops to your face
or add just one or two drops of it to your normal moisturiser. But For best results
you want to use it both morning and night And Allow 5 minutes before applying a moisturiser or
sunscreen over it. And you should wait about 12 weeks to start seeing noticeable changes
to your dark spots. In the meantime though, you would be seeing the benefits of calmer skin, since
its also Rich in vitamin E and anthocyanin which is beneficial for those dealing with rosacea,
eczema, and other inflammatory skin issues, and Since rose hip oil is loaded with fatty acids, it
can also help keep your skin hydrated up until the time you start seeing normal skin complexion again
and a correction of dark spots. Id love to hear your thoughts down below.
