IMG_1442ROSE HIP OIL AKA THE OIL FROM HEAVEN.

If you follow me on my snapchat and IG stories, you know that I’ve been obsessed with this oil.  I drench this shit ALL over myself at night.  It’s really the secret sauce to skincare.  It’ll solve all your problems, well, it did for me and I’ve converted some of you already, my family, and friends and they all LOVE this stuff. Ive been using it for over 6 months now, so it feels right to give you a solid blog post on it!

FIRST OF ALL, WHAT’S ROSE HIP OIL?

SO, Rosehip oil is harvested from the seeds of rose bushes predominately grown in Chile, and is full of vitamins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids that are known to correct dark spots and hydrate dry, itchy skin, all while reducing scars and fine lines.  The combination of properties in rose hip oil seems to combat the damage. The antioxidants, which combat free radicals that cause damage, and vitamin A, combined with the oil’s essential fatty acids, help improve skin tone, texture and pigmentation.

Vitamin A is what you’re going to find in a lot of skincare products, like retinol for example.  Vitamin A is 100% what you need in your skin asap!   It’s all around going to improve your skin tone, texture and pigmentation, all while reduce fine lines and wrinkles.  

HELPS WITH SCARING.  The ultimate beauty ingredient trio—anti-inflammatory fatty acids and vitamins A and C—make this oil the ideal solution for fading any facial scars or unsightly marks. “Together these help undo and prevent oxidative damage and help the skin re-build collagen. It can help fade skin hyperpigmentation and potentially minimize the appearance of fine lines and even stretch marks”  says Tsippora Shainhouse, MD, FAAD, clinical instructor at the University of Southern California.

All together this oil will is good for the following,

  • REDUCES THE APPEARANCE OF FINE LINES & WRINKLES
  • IMPROVEST SKIN TEXTURE & SKIN TONE
  • MOISTURIZING
  • BRIGHTENING
  • & FIRMING

HOW TO USE?

I use this at night to remove my make up with a cotton pad, then I use it as the last step of my routine.  So after my Alpha Beta Moisturizer, I add on the Rose Hip Oil and gently dap it all over my face, neck and chest.  I use about 5 pumps.   Then I’ll add some into my body lotion and rub it all over my body.  

I wake up every morning looking dewy and fresh!  I love this oil so much and highly recommend it!  I’ve noticed all of those benefits in my skin and can’t believe what a difference it makes!

WHAT KIND TO GET?

PLEASE be sure you get the right kind.  I’ve only ever found one brand thats 100% natural with nothing else in it. You want to stay away from brands that have other chemicals mixed in with the oil.  I’ve tried one that was a little less expensive and ended up breaking out really bad, so I recommend getting the INSTA NATURAL brand.

You can find my SKINCARE ROUTINE by clicking that link, that I apply before this oil every night. 

Do you use this oil?  If so, how do you like it?

Thanks for reading!

HEY HEY, hows it going guys?  Lets talk Amazon finds shall we?

The questions I get asked the most are all of these products right here!  I share them all the time on my stories, and always link them for you, but I’m going to do a full blown post for you, because why not just make everyones life a little easier haha.  I use all of these daily, they’re my tried and true products that are all from Amazon that I just cannot live without.  Literally can’t live without.  

SO HERE WE GO… SCROLL DOWN TO SEE EACH PRODUCT AND WHY I USE

 

_DSC9315-Edit

 

  1. The Trusty OIL DIFFUSER.  This little guy turns different colors, for whatever mood you’re feeling.  I like blue or green light in the morning and red light at night.  OR you don’t even need the light on.  I burn Citrus in the mornings (when my hubs goes to work-he hates it)  and Lavender at night while Oaks is in the bath for calming.  I love Essential Living Oils.

2. The lovely ICE ROLLER– this is the MOST DM’s I get in a day.  This little guy, so lets just nip this in the butt, and explain what it is, why I use it and where the freak you get it.   Also THIS ONE is cuter than mine, its sliver and not blue.  

SO here is the breakdown.  WHY I use this… I love waking up and rolling it over my face and eyes.  It wakes me up, de-puffs those morning eyes and just feels so damn good.  I look forward to rolling it over my face every morning, with my cup of coffee… doesn’t that sound so nice?  

HERE ARE THE BENEFITS

Cold temperatures cause shrinkage, so it helps reduce the appearance of pores, and has a lifting effect on skin. There are many different reason to use an ice roller. The benefits go beyond the skin, penetrating deep into the muscular structure and blood vessels, helping with pain and discomfort.  

So a lifting affect?  yeah, you had me there.

3. PLATINUM PRINCESS VEGAS NAY–  It has to be that brand and that name.  I’ve tried her other ones, but these babies, ARE IT.  I’ve tried many many MANY lashes.  From drugstore brands, to house of lashes, to mac lashes.. these are it.  Let me tell you why.

First, you don’t even feel them on because they’re mink.  Second, the look of them is so pretty, it makes those eyes just pop.  I can’t even explain it, but the way they’re shaped and the length is SO flattering.  You have to try them.  GAME CHANGER.

HOW I PUT THEM ON

I’ll shape them to my eye and make sure I cut off a little so they aren’t poking my eye while wearing them.  This part is so important if you want to wear them comfortably.  So take them out, and hold them on your eye and see where you need to cut them.

4. MAGIC SPRAY– no but really this stuff is so nice!  Mario Badescu is a great skincare line, and I love his cucumber mist and rose water mist.  It’s so refreshing.  I put it on 2x a day after I wash my face.  Just a few sprays all over my face.  Let it dry and then continue with my routine.  It’s very hydrating and has a cooling affect, plus it helps that it smells amazing!

5. ROSE HIP OIL– literally magic.  All of these things are magic, but this is so hydrating and if you like to be dewy, this is for you!   Here are the common questions I’ve been getting about this oil, that I want to cover.  Also, for those that have used it because of my posts are literally in heaven and so happy they tried!  So let me give you the full breakdown here.

WILL IT MAKE ME MORE OILY IF I ALREADY AM?

Not rosehip oil.  Rose hip seed oil has a comedogenic rating of 1, meaning its not likely to clog pores. Rosehip seed oil is known to skin tissue, including acne, burns, and stretch marks. It actually helps to reduce acne breakouts, but keep in mind it is not effective in reducing or eliminating acne.

HOW I USE IT

I use it right after my moisturizer, morning and night.  I use less in the morning, probably 2 pumps and I’ll just dap it on my face, neck and chest.  For night, I use a lot to be honest.. I kinda drench my face, chest neck and hands in it.  In my experience, I wake up and I’m nice and dewy.  

MORE BENEFITS

Helps with discoloration and prevents wrinkles.  The combination of properties in rose hip oil seems to combat the damage.  The antioxidants, which combat free radicals that cause damage, and vitamin A, combined with the oils essential fatty acids, help improve skin tone, texture and pigmentation.  SO hello, kinda amazing.  So many benefits and its affordable too, and will last forever! 

MY EXPERIENCE

I’ve been doing this for months and months, and my skin has never looked better, with the combination of all that I do, (which i need to do a post on) this seems to give me the most dewy-ness and makes me glow.  I love to be dewy,  and to me, the more oil the less wrinkles in my eyes haha.

Hope you guys found this post helpful!  Let me know if you want to see more of these types of posts.  And also let me know what amazon game changer finds you have, or if you use any of the following.

Have a good night! Just took a Sleepitoff and I’m going to be OUT soon.
