Rosehip and Carrot Seed Facial Serum

One of the most popular DIY anti-aging skin care products you can make at home is this rosehip and carrot seed oil facial serum!

Let’s begin by exploring the benefits of rosehip oil and carrot seed oil for your skin!

Benefits of Rosehip Oil

Rosehip oil is highly touted in the skin care world! And this is with good reason too! The luxurious oil is excellent for aging skin and getting rid of scars. It is obtained from rosehips, which are the fruit of the wild rose plant (scientific name: Rosa canina, Rosa moschata or Rosa rubiginosa). So it is not got from the regular rose plant we know!

Some of the beauty benefits of rosehip oil for skin include:

  • Boasts amazing anti-aging properties for youthful skin
  • Makes skin soft and supple
  • Promotes the production of collagen
  • Soothes eczema and psoriasis
  • High in linoleic acid, which makes it good for oily and acne prone skin
  • Is a ‘dry’ oil which sinks into skin fast and doesn’t make it feel greasy
