What is acne and How does Rosehip Oil work in treating acne?
Acne is caused when your skin becomes dehydrated and undernourished. Excessive use of chemical products on your skin can strip your skin off the natural oil leaving your skin dry and dehydrated. People with oily skin are more prone to acne. Excess intake of hot beverages and alcohol can also lead to frequent breakouts. When your skin becomes dry, the oil glands are compelled to produce more oil to help your skin from drying out. The excess production of oil/sebum is responsible for causing acne and pimples, as this excess oil gets clogged in the pores of your skin and causes breakouts in your skin.
Rosehip Oil is very beneficial for your skin as it not only helps to clear acne, scars and blemishes from your skin but also makes your skin tight, firm, radiant and more youthful. Let us understand how is Rosehip Oil effective in treating all your skin problems.
Rosehip Oil for Acne
Rosehip Oil is loaded with the goodness of vital nutrients such as Vitamin A, C and essential fatty acids which helps to nourish, replenish, revitalize your skin and helps to keep your skin flawless by clearing acne, scars and blemishes. Let’s find out as to how these nutrients in Rosehip Oil work together and make your skin more radiant and vibrant.
1. Vitamin A
Vitamin A or commonly known as Retinol is very effective in treating major skin problems. Vitamin A helps to repair the damaged skin, promotes blood circulation and controls the excess of oil production by the skin.
2. Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a natural antioxidant which protects the skin from damage caused by the harmful UV rays and other environmental factors. It helps to fight the free radicals which are responsible for breaking down skin cells which ultimately leads to breakouts. Its healing properties help to repair damaged skin cells. The high concentration of Vitamin C also boosts the production of collagen and elastin which helps to tighten the pores and makes your skin more firm. The increased production of collagen also helps in the regeneration of new skin cells which helps in the reduction of acne scars, hyperpigmentation and blemishes.

Rosehip Oil is loaded with incredible properties which help to heal the damaged skin cells, its antioxidants fight free radicals which are responsible for acne and pimples. It also prevents an excess of oil production by the skin as this excess of oil or sebum clogs the pores and causes the eruption of acne, pimples, blackheads and whiteheads. Rosehip Oil helps to nourish and moisturize your skin as dry and flaky skin can cause acne.
