By now you know the myriad uses for coconut oil (and probably slather it on from head to toe, as do we). But it’s time for our tropical friend to make room for a new miracle moisturizer. Rose-hip oil is becoming a mainstay in our skincare routine due to its transformative properties: With a high concentration of essential fatty acids and antioxidants, it improves the tone and elasticity of skin and diminishes the appearance of scars. The oil is also dry to the touch—as in, it soaks in nicely when used in moderation and doesn’t make your face feel super greasy. Miranda Kerr swears by it, and we’re not ones to question a supermodel’s beauty routine. Ahead, standout rose-hip formulas at every price point.
Editor’s note: I have redness-prone skin and have noticed an improvement in flare-ups (over the course of several weeks) since incorporating the oil into my routine. Have you tried rose-hip oil? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
