Rose Essential Oil - Is it really good for your skin?

One of the most prominent symbols of love, Rose is loved by all. Its enchanting aroma and beautiful corolla make it the perfect gift for anyone we adore and love. But do you know the rose is of equal merit in the healthcare department as it is in its aesthetics? Extracted from the rose plant, Rose Essential Oil offers a wide range of benefits that can prove to be superbly beneficial in our day-to-day lifestyle. Let’s see how it benefits our skin, shall we? 

• Antibacterial - Rose Oil is an antibacterial in nature, which is why it is super effective to treat acne-prone skin. It also nourishes and disinfects the skin, thus preventing further breakouts. It can also be used in treating scars and other skin imperfections.
• Nourishing - This oil contains more than forty compounds that are beneficial for the skin. Pure Rose Oil (steam distilled from the petals of the Bulgarian Rosa Damascena) is extremely rich in these nutrients, and its foremost function is to nourish your skin from within. They provide ample hydration, and proper moisture, thus keeping your skin cells lively and healthy. 
• Prevents wrinkles - Rose oil is one of the most widely used anti-aging products. It has antioxidants, such as citronellol, and geraniol, which help diminish the fine lines, and aging spots on your face, and skin overall, by preventing free radical damage. Therefore, it enhances your skin’s natural glow, provides radiance, and improves texture. 
• Improves blood circulation - Regular massage of rose oil in the right amounts also improves blood circulation. Healthy blood circulation is very necessary to keep your skin fit, away from wrinkles and fine lines, cells firm and tight, and texture soft and beautiful. 

How to use it? 

• Massage directly - take a few drops on your fingertips, and massage on your face or whichever body part you wish to massage. It will promote better blood circulation, while the oil will cause friction on your face, which will get rid of hidden gunk, sebum, and unwanted oils. 
• Mix with carrier oils - virgin oils such as coconut and almond can be used to be mixed with rose oil. This mixture can be easily applied to your arms, legs, torso, and back, and if you have dry skin, you can also apply it to your face.
