Hello there cyber world! I know it’s been a while since my last post. I’ve been insanely busy with loads of exciting projects – hosting live events, writing for magazines and filming videos for new clients… trying to enjoy it all without getting too overwhelmed! Unfortunately, the chaos resulted in less time being spent here on my blog – but I have so much to share with you all. I want to kick things off with this entry about one of my favourite beauty products I’ve been using at the moment – rosehip oil.
Rosehip oil, or rosehip seed oil, is pressed and extracted from the seeds of a wild rose bush. I’ve come across rosehip oil in many skin care products, but only recently decided to try it out in its pure form! The vitamin A, vitamin C, and the essential fatty acids are what gives this oil its healing properties. Vitamin A is known for skin rejuvenation, which helps heal scars and renew skin cells. Vitamin C reduces pigmentation, whilst essential fatty acids are great for soft skin and counteracting dryness.
Personally, I love rosehip oil because I find it much lighter than others that I’ve tried in the past (such as jojoba oil). It’s not sticky and and it doesn’t feel like it clogs up my pores – I even use it under my make up! In the morning, after I’ve washed my face, I apply 2-3 drops on my fingertips and gently massage it onto my skin. If I’m wearing make up that day, I apply it right on top and the oil just works as a primer. At night time, I’ll either use it on its own, or if my skin is feeling dry I’ll add a few drops to my moisturiser. My skin is definitely smoother when I’m using the oil, and it seems to speed up the healing time for scars left over from pimples.
I’ve used a couple of different brands and they all seem to work quite well for me. In Manila I found a brand on called Lumiere which I bought from BeautyMNL.com, in the UK I bought a brand called Triology, and in Australia I was using one from Thursday Plantation. I love experimenting with new beauty products, and I love it even more that something as simple and natural as rosehip oil works just as well as some other cosmetic brands found in the high street! If you’ve used rosehip oil, or recommend any other products, let me know!

Mitsuko swears by Argan oil
I like Argan oil for my hair! Although if that’s why Mistuko looks so good, I’m going to be using that on my face pronto.
Thanks for featuring us Mari! We’re just as obsessed with Rosehip Oil as you are 🙂 Argan oil is amazing, and we use it (combined with keratin cellular complex) on all our hair care products. We love organic just like you, and we’re glad the movement is growing stronger in Manila by the day 🙂 Thanks again!

Lumiere Organic
Hey Trish, my pleasure! I was so excited when I discovered it on beautyMNL. Argan oil I love also 🙂
hi miss mari. Id love to try that rosehip oil. 🙂
Give it a go and let me know what you think 🙂
Today is my first time to try this product and use a beauty product to remove my scars. Is it possible to see the changes in my scars in just one week? Or how many weeks will I eventually see the result of this product? 🙂 I’m just excited to see the result.^^
I think one week might be too soon but let me know how you get on! Good luck 🙂
hello. can i ask where i can buy this oil aside from online stores? especially here in Manila, Thanks!
I think Human Nature does a Rosehip oil, and some stalls at weekend markets have them too. Good luck!
Hi! Do you also use it alone? Like not mixing it with your moisturizer? How was it? Or its better to use with the moisturizer? And what can you say about the Trilogy rosehip oil? Thank you!
I use it alone without moisturiser but I hear it’s good mixed in also!
Hi Mari, I”m your huge fan. 🙂 just a question about rosehip oil, what time of the day do you usually put it on? And do you apply anything on top of it too? Do u wear it under makeup?
I usually use it at night on clean skin 🙂
And also what kind of bb cream are you using. Your skin looks so great. 🙂
at the moment I use Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation
hi where can i buy rosehip oil? will it work for old scars?
Hi! I’m just wondering since I have an oily skin, is it still okay to use the rosehip oil? Thank you! ☺️
Hi Mari, may I know what moisturizer do you use aside from the rosehip oil?
Hey Angel, I’ve tried so many. Right now I’m using one from Skinceuticals.
Hi Mari. I have a scars cause by skin allergies. Is rosehip oil good to remove the marks? thank you.
Hi Mari, may I know how the Lumiere performed against the other brands that you’ve tried? I want to try other brands too because I have been using Human Nature’s Rosehip oil but lately I noticed that their oil is clear and almost watery not like my first purchase (golden hued/ dark yellow) and not as potent. Thanks in advance.
Just discovering Rosehip Oil and I started using one from Lumiere. I wonder if the scent is really like how it is… haha! I don’t even know how to describe it, it smells like an old book that you’ve hidden for a long time.
