I nabbed some of this in the vault with the intention of using it on my expanding bump and have been using it for the past few weeks on everything.
Once I got over the smell - I was expecting rose and got old chip packet - I've been obsessed. How have I not tried this before.
It makes my tummy so nice and smooth, and unlike bio oil where it felt like I was using half the bottle each time, a little goes a long way. It absorbs rapidly (again unlike bio oil) so is perfect for applying before bed time or before wearing clothes and not wanting to feel sticky.
The drop cap prevents excess from coming out really well so there's no waste and I can tell it will last a while even with me slathering it over everything like I've found the elixir of life. Come to think of it that's not far from the truth.
I've always been hard on my hands, I'm very sensual and hands on in general and I extended this to my work when I was a chef (this means lots of burns and cuts hehe). I also have a slight, ok full on, hand washing obsession and don't use hand cream as much as I really should. I have noticed a real improvement in them just from rubbing the excess in after application, my hands feel supple and the skin appears plumper and less old lady-esque, my cuticles are in great shape too.
I've also been using a little of the excess (seriously it's amazing how far this goes) on my lips and they feel great too.
The only reason I haven't given this full marks is because I'm waiting to see if any stretch marks develop. I definitely think that whether or not you get them ultimately comes down to luck though so perhaps this isn't fair. Oh well I'm pregnant I'm allowed to be hormonal and blame a product for things that are out of it's control.
Rosehip Oil', 'Wow, wow, wow. I have read so much about Rosehip Oil since joing BR and I love it. I was lucky enough to nab some from The Vault. I like the packaging, nice and bright, solid packaging with good instructions and information. I like the small bottle (that goes a loooooong way). I really like the dispenser as only a small amount of the lovely oil goodness comes out at a time. If it wasn't for the wonderful stopper in place, I would have an oil crisis all over the place! I am not sure about the scent (just can't put my finger on it) but it is not bad enough for me to discontinue. So many other benefits.The oil absorbs easily. I put it on before bed and I am trying to put it on each morning as well. Since using the Rosehip oil, I have noticed scarring on my chin has faded and redness around the bridge of my nose (rosacea) has lessened. Got to be a good thing! When applying, I feel like I am putting goodness on to my face. I concentrate on my eye area as well and no problems there. I can be sensitive around the eyes sometimes and is fine. I am going to continue to use Rosehip oil and seeing a difference to my skin in a short time, I look forward to seeing what happens in 6 months 'Definitely give this a go and small amount goes a long way.
Tips: Definitely give Rosehip oil a go and a little does go a long way.
