Benefits: Anti-inflammatory: Heather contains flavonols and ursolic acid, which may help reduce inflammation. Anti-aging: Heather may help reduce the appearance of aging and improve skin elasticity. Antioxidant: Heather contains phenolic compounds that may help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals. Skin soothing: Heather may help soothe sensitive skin.

Antioxidant protection: Olive oil contains vitamin E, polyphenols, and phytosterols, which can help protect your skin from oxidative stress and premature aging. Reduces inflammation: Olive oil can soothe and calm irritated skin, and help reduce redness. Heals wounds: A few drops of extra virgin olive oil can help wounds heal quickly. - Rosehip oil benefits the skin by providing hydration, promoting cell regeneration, and reducing the appearance of fine lines and hyperpigmentation. Its high content of vitamins A, C, and E, as well as essential fatty acids, helps soothe inflammation, even skin tone, improve elasticity, and repair skin damage. It is also suitable for sensitive skin due to its nourishing, non-greasy, and gentle properties. Skin health and appearance: Hydrates and moisturises: It helps the skin retain water, keeping it soft, supple, and hydrated. Reduces fine lines and wrinkles: Its vitamins A and C support collagen production, while its small amount of natural retinoids help promote cell turnover, smoothing the appearance of fine lines. Evens skin tone and fades hyperpigmentation: The antioxidants and fatty acids help reduce dark spots, sun spots, and other signs of hyperpigmentation. Soothes and calms inflammation: Vitamin E is known for its ability to reduce redness and soothe inflamed or sensitive skin. Promotes healing: Essential fatty acids and antioxidants help with tissue and cell regeneration, which can aid in wound healing. Fights acne: Its fatty acids can help treat acne and reduce scarring. It is a dry oil that absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue. Skin Types: All skin types: Rosehip oil is suitable for all skin types, including dry, oily, and sensitive skin, thanks to its nourishing yet balancing properties. Sensitive skin: Its gentle and natural composition makes it a good option for those with sensitive skin. How it works: Vitamins A, C, and E: This "ACE" trio provides antioxidants to protect against free radicals. Vitamin C brightens and supports collagen, while vitamin E soothes redness. Essential fatty acids: Oleic and linoleic acids are key to hydration, elasticity, and skin barrier repair. Regenerative properties: The presence of natural retinoids from vitamin A gives it a gentle regenerative effect, similar to retinol but often more tolerable for sensitive skins. Aromatherapy essential oils with skin benefits!: - Rose essential oil benefits the skin by acting as a powerful moisturiser, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant. It can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, soothe redness and irritation, and protect against free radicals. Its antibacterial properties can also aid in managing acne and other blemishes, while its astringent qualities help to tone the skin and minimise pores. Moisturising and nourishing: Moisturises dry skin: Rose oil is a great emollient that deeply moisturises, leaving skin feeling soft and supple. Improves elasticity: It helps strengthen the skin's collagen-elastin network, which improves natural elasticity. Hydrates mature skin: It is particularly beneficial for mature or dry skin, helping to maintain a radiant and youthful appearance. Anti-inflammatory and soothing: Calms redness: The oil has anti-inflammatory properties that help calm redness and soothe irritated skin. Helps with skin conditions: It can be helpful for inflammatory conditions like eczema, rosacea, and general skin irritation. Anti-aging and antioxidant: Combats signs of aging: Antioxidants in rose oil protect against free radicals that cause skin damage and aging, which can reduce wrinkles and fine lines. Brightens complexion: It can help reduce the appearance of dark circles and brighten the skin, giving it a more radiant look. Antibacterial and blemish control: Fights acne: Its antibacterial properties can help with acne-prone or blemished skin by keeping it clean and preventing breakouts. Minimises pores: The astringent effect helps tighten enlarged pores and reduce sebum production, making skin appear smoother. - Frankincense essential oil offers a range of potential benefits spanning mental, emotional, and physical well-being, primarily due to its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and calming properties.
