The medicinal golden liquid is obtained from 2 main varieties of rose hips: May and cinnamon. Both varieties belong to the rose hip family. The specific development of bushes and berries is almost identical. Rose hips grow up to 2 meters in length. The powerful base is entwined with thin branches that are very similar to plastic rods. Each branch is harmoniously covered with sparse thorns, and between them there are pairs of angular leaves.

As the rosehip matures, it produces beautiful pink flowers that look like exotic flat roses. The flower grows solitary, slightly flattened. There are a total of 5 petals and many uncountable stamens. The palette of shades is not limited to just soft pink. Flowers can be painted in any color in the red spectrum. The fruits are round (in the shape of a regular stretched ball), smooth, bright red with a very pleasant sweet-sour taste. Inside the fruit there are several seeds, from which a medicinal liquid is subsequently prepared.

The unique properties of the plant began to be used back in the 17th century. Essential oil was initially isolated from rose hips, the only value of which was considered to be its delicate viscous aroma. Later, “liquid sun” was used to treat skin pathologies and diseases of the abdominal organs. Over time, ladies became interested in the fragrant liquid and began to use it as a nourishing and moisturizing cream.

How to care for your skin depending on its type?

Oily and combination skin suffers from intense production of sebum. The skin has a characteristic oily sheen, which is especially noticeable in the area of ​​the nose, forehead and chin.

Daily care for problem skin is based on the use of products with a mousse texture that are washed off with water. Such products do not disturb the balance of the skin. To care for problem skin, it is better not to use abrasive products - they aggressively cleanse the skin and injure the epidermis.

Every day care for problematic facial skin is based on the main rule - proper cleansing. You need to take care of your skin with gels and small scrubs. They eliminate impurities and dead particles of the epidermis, cleanse pores, and eliminate clogging of the sebaceous glands. Daily care for problem skin necessarily includes refreshing your face with tonic. Products should contain a lot of moisture, but not be too greasy.

Combination skin is characterized by a combination of two skin types. The so-called T-zone is distinguished by an oily sheen, often with inflammatory foci. There are dry areas in the cheek area. Combination skin becomes treacherously shiny in the summer heat, but dries out quickly in winter. What should be your daily facial skin care routine at home?

There is no need to use different products for different areas of the face! Today, cosmetics have been developed for mixed skin types. Daily facial skin care involves the use of soft toners and low-fat creams. Mattifying wipes can get rid of excess fat in the T-zone, and toner can normalize the pH of the skin.

Dry skin suffers from a lack of sebum and moisture. The skin looks thin, stretched and rough. Dry skin is prone to premature wrinkles. Products with an oily, rich texture will help restore comfort and beauty to your skin.

A cosmetologist's advice on caring for dry skin is based on hydration and nutrition. Daily care for dry skin at home involves the use of delicate products that have a mild moisturizing effect.

Daily care for dry skin should include soft milk, gentle tonics, and nourishing creams with herbal extracts. Such products will restore healthy radiance and beauty to the skin. Products containing irritating alcohol and abrasive particles should be excluded from daily care for dry skin.

Daily care for aging skin has its own characteristics. Often women aged 35+ experience loss of elasticity, the appearance of thin skin folds, dryness and sagging.

Daily facial skin care at 35 years old is based on replenishing the lack of collagen and elastin, stimulating cells to self-heal. Naturally, it will not be possible to stop the aging process. But they can be significantly slowed down. Daily skin care after 45 should consist of products containing hyaluronic acid and collagen. Anti-aging cosmetics will make the skin more elastic, tightened and nourished.

What it is

Rosehip oil is a product of cold pressing of seeds located inside the fruit of the plant, less often - extraction with organic solvents or alkalis. The most useful is considered to be pressed, since the use of solvents does not have the best effect on the composition.

Base oil is not cheap, since the rose hips used to obtain it are not the same as those that grow everywhere in our country. For cold pressing, seeds of bushes that grow in South America and Europe, the southern regions of our country, are used.

[product_block id=”11007"]

Under the general name “rosehip oil” there are three possible extracts:

• mosquito roses, in Latin “ Rosa mosqueta ”, grows in Europe, Asia Minor, CIS countries, Crimea, Saratov and other cities of Russia, also called “rusty or brown rose hips”;
• rusty rose, name in Latin “ Rosa rubiginosa ”, growing area similar to rose moschete;
• Canina rose, canine rose, or canine rose, in Latin “ Rosa canina ”, grows in Europe, the northern part of the African continent, in Asian countries and states located in South America.

Regardless of the type of raw material, seed extracts are very similar in composition and, accordingly, properties.

According to its intended purpose, rosehip oil is divided into:

• cosmetic – intended for external use, may contain undesirable impurities, prohibited for internal use;
• food grade – the highest quality, suitable for external purposes and internal use, universal;
• pharmacopoeial - meets the requirements of the State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation, possible methods of use are determined by the degree of purity, so you should focus on the manufacturer’s instructions.

Description:

• consistency – light, fluid;
• quickly absorbed into the skin;
• transparent, without sediment and possible turbidity;
• smell – characteristic of the plant, faintly perceptible;
• taste – specific, with sour and bitter notes, weakly expressed;
• shade - from golden to reddish tones, and even brown, saturation is determined by the type of raw material and the method of obtaining fat.

Such characteristic features indicate the richness of the unsaponifiable fraction in biologically active substances. The extract is often falsified, for which synthetic additives are used.

Short story

Rosehip has grown for thousands of years in various countries of the world, and people have known its miraculous properties since ancient times. The seeds of the fruit, rich in vitamin C, also contain vegetable oil that can uniquely restore the skin. History knows exactly when exactly people learned to isolate it, but the first scientific studies were carried out at the end of the 19th century.

Through clinical trials, scientists have obtained evidence that the product effectively fights wrinkles, pigmentation and other skin problems. Since then, interest in such a valuable product has not waned.

What does daily facial skin care consist of?

Daily care for different skin types includes several mandatory procedures:

• Cleansing. Cleansing products are selected individually based on its type. It is better to give preference to products with a neutral pH without surfactants (alkalies).
• Exfoliation. Tonics, due to their mild chemical action, dissolve dead cells on the surface of the skin, renew the skin, and restore radiance and freshness to the skin.
• Hydration. The remedies work in two ways. And, as a rule, modern creams combine both options. The first method is water retention. Glycerin and hyaluronic acid in creams retain water molecules. The second method is to “lock” the water. Oils and silicones create a protective film on the surface of the skin that prevents water from evaporating. Step-by-step daily facial skin care, regardless of its type, necessarily includes the use of creams. The texture of the moisturizer depends on your skin type. The drier the skin, the denser the cream should be. It is also worth considering the advice of a cosmetologist on caring for the skin around the eyes. The skin in this area is thin and requires delicate care.
• Protection. Taking care of your skin every day involves using products with ultraviolet protection. They are applied before going outside to exposed areas of the body.

Properties

The medicinal properties of rosehip oil were studied back in the 19th century and consist in the ability to accelerate the process of cellular regeneration, thereby restoring the integrity of the skin. It acts as a real first aid in the fight against early signs of aging, scars, scars, age spots, wounds, cuts, burns, inflammations.

Distinctive characteristics of rosehip oil:

• relieves inflammation and swelling;
• has an antimicrobial effect;
• when used internally, it is worth considering the choleretic effect.

Such features distinguish the product from a number of base oils.

How often should you use a scrub and why?

The main thing in facial skin care is cleansing. Without this procedure, it is useless to use other cosmetics. The scrub is able to thoroughly cleanse the skin, making it soft and tender.

But your daily facial skin care routine shouldn't include a scrub. The intensity of use of this product depends on the type and condition of the skin, its sensitivity, age and time of year. Often, a deep cleansing scrub is used no more than once a week.

The rules for daily facial skin care do not include the constant use of scrubs. This is undesirable from the point of view of skin functioning. The skin is programmed with a natural exfoliation process. Therefore, normally it is enough to support these processes.

In order not to harm the skin, you need to use scrubs with small spherical or hemispherical particles. The products are applied in a circular motion, which helps to gently remove dead skin cells from the epidermis. Rough scrub particles can injure and scratch the skin. Some scrubs contain particles that dissolve during application. This cleansing is more effective due to the enzymes contained in the scrub.

Every day care for oily skin and the use of scrubs should be agreed upon with a cosmetologist. For example, if there are purulent rashes on the skin, the scrub will only increase inflammation and lead to the spread of infection.
