BENEFITS OF ROSES AND ROSEHIPS IN SKIN CARE

Rose Petals - Rose oil has been used for thousands of years (think Cleopatra!) because of its benefits for dry, sensitive or aging skin. It has a toning and astringent effect on the capillaries just below the skin surface, which makes it useful in diminishing the redness caused by enlarged capillaries. Rose petals are excellent source of vitamins A, B3, C, D and E. They also contain bioflavonoids, citric acid, flavonoids, fructose, malic acid, tannins, zinc and trace minerals.
