Rose Oil for Skin

Created from the petals of roses, rose essential oil has the trademark fresh and floral scent of rose plants. And while the fragrance of this essential oil alone is widely sought-after, rose oil holds a number of nutrients and antioxidants, in addition to anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits, that make it a great choice for adding to your skincare routine.

Rose essential oil holds a potent source of essential fatty acids including the powerful linoleic and linolenic acids that help to nourish skin and encourage a healthy moisture barrier. This can help heal dry or cracked skin while the anti-inflammatory benefits of the oil soothe itchiness and reduce signs of aging. Rose essential oil is also fairly antibacterial, which allows it to keep skin clear of blemishes.

To use rose oil on your skin, add it to your favorite carrier oil and massage it into your skin regularly or blend a few drops with your favorite body lotion.
