Stop & Smell the Roses: Benefits of Rose Essential Oil
/Did you know that rose essential oil is one of the most expensive essential oils? That is because it can take 30 to 50 rose blossoms to produce just 1 drop of the precious oil!
Rose essential oil is a nutrient dense oil, high in nourishing, soothing and replenishing components your skin can benefit from. As most essential oils, it is too potent to be used pure. But, you can always dilute it in some carrier oil, add it to your products or simply use cosmetics that already contain it.

Here are the 5 main beauty benefits you can get from using rose essential oil regularly:
MOISTURIZES DRY SKIN
Adding a few drops of rose oil to your regular lotion can make a lot of difference for your skin. Rose essential oil contains several important vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that replenish the skin and protect it from the elements. Rose oil softens dry patches, improves the skin’s elasticity, reduces inflammation and promotes healing.
ONE OF THE BEST ANTI-AGING OILS
Rose oil is one of the best anti-aging oils you can find. Not only it is moisturizing, anti-inflammatory and repairing, but it is also full of powerful antioxidants. Antioxidants protect the skin against free radicals and prevent the damage oxidative stress can make. They delay the formation of premature aging signs, improve the texture of the skin and can help reduce wrinkles, fine lines and aging spots.
HELPS FIGHT ACNE
Rose essential oil is antibacterial and it is able to clear out your skin from Propionibacterium acnes (the bacteria that causes acne). This oil is also an astringent and cleansing agent. It soothes acne inflammations and can even help fade old acne marks and dark spots. All in all, it is one of the best essential oils you can use to purify your skin, even out your skin tone and brighten the complexion.
IMPROVES PRODUCT SCENTS
The sweet, floral rose scent doesn’t leave anyone indifferent. Moreover, studies have shown that the scent of rose oil can boost your mood, alleviate depression and reduce anxiety. That is why rose essential oil is one of the most appreciated aromatherapy oils. You can simply add a few drops to your body lotion and carry the scent with you wherever you go. Or you can add it to a massage oil, to enhance the benefits.
IT’S EVEN GREAT FOR HAIR CARE
Rose essential oil can also do a lot for your hair’s condition and appearance. It makes the hair incredibly soft, shiny and healthier looking. Rather than applying it to your ends, mix a small amount of rose oil with any hair-friendly carrier oil and massage the mixture into the scalp. You can also simply add a few drops of rose essential oil to your conditioner.
Nourishing, Luxurious & Rejuvenating are just a few words we’d use to describe rose essential oil. If you don’t have any at home, we strongly recommend adding to your skin care products.
