Naissance Rosehip Oil - a beauty must-have

I discovered this amazing oil a few years ago, almost by mistake. 

Rosehip Virgin oil - Naissance
I’ve always been interested in natural products, lotions, oils and similar. 
Very often I found myself doing some online research to find out more about properties and benefits of natural ingredients.

So, in a period where I was obviously obsessed with anti-age and anti-wrinkle natural remedies (even though I didn’t need any), I bumped into this amazing Rosehip Oil.

At first, I used it as one of the ingredients for my eye make-up remover (I will talk about it in a different post, I promise), as one of the things I knew this oil for by then was its anti-wrinkle properties. No more perfect use than that of a gentle homemade eye make-up remover!

I didn’t see amazing and extreme results straight away because, as I said, I didn’t really need any anti-aging products. Now going to my thirties, I can definitely say that I’m sure that’s the ingredient that helped slow down the aging process as I don’t have any wrinkle around my eyes (only when I laugh probably!) and definitely I’ve never bought anti-aging face creams.

But being an anti-wrinkle 'agent' is not all this oil can be.

Lately I found out how such a good moisturizer it can be.

Yes, you read correct – M O I S T U R I Z E R👌

I know that applying oil to your face does not always seem like a great idea, but let me tell you about my everyday routine for the last couple of months.

I wake up every morning and getting ready to go to work is not always the most fun part of my day. Especially if I wished I could have slept a couple of minutes (hours) more.

After washing my face, I apply some Aloe Vera gel (a tiny bit) as we know that it has a lot of lenitive and calming benefits and I found that it helps a lot specially for those areas on my face that are subject to breakouts.

Usually Aloe Vera gel tends to dry and leave the skin almost itchy as the gel gets absorbed, so that’s when my ally come into action.

I use 4 or 5 drops of Organic Rosehip Oil, warming it up by rubbing my hands and then gently pat it onto my skin at first then simply spread it all over my face.

I usually try to focus on the dry areas more, my neck, my eyes, my lips and any other if I have a special requirement. 

Once I’m sure I’ve covered all the areas; I use my fingertips to gently apply it under my eyes to ‘wake them up’ and make sure the puffiness goes away.

Oils are usually difficult to absorb and they take a bit more time than a normal day cream.

So what I found out to be helpful is to let it absorb for 5/10 minutes while I do something else.

I always drink a couple of glasses of water (or lemon juice with water) every morning, so by doing it at this point of the routine, it gives more time for the oil to be absorbed and finally I can then easily apply some make-up.

What’s important to notice here is that I don’t use foundation or other liquid base products such as BB cream, CC creams etc. but instead I only use a bit of concealer to give my eyes an even colour and then I simply apply some light face powder.

In this case the powder will stay and cover all the areas on my face thanks to the oil acting as a base.

I then continue my getting-ready-to-work-routine as usual, so eye make-up, mascara, lipstick and some blush and all will stay performing as they always have done (even before I started using oil as moisturizer).

If you use foundation, I would suggest to use this oil in the evening instead after you remove your make-up and have washed your face thoroughly.

This way all the benefits of this oil will still be effective and I am sure you will see your skin more radiant and healthy.

Another way of adding Rosehip Oil to your everyday routine without having to get rid of your favourite face creams, is adding a couple of drops to your cream/lotion. I’m sure you’ll be surprised.


Small summer trip tip, if the weather is extremely hot, use a couple of drops less and if you want apply it on wet skin.

I hope you enjoyed this post, learned something new.


If you are going to try this oil, please let me know how it goes and also leave any comments if you want, it would be appreciated 😊
