Rosehip Seed Oil
Rosehip Seed Oil is actually considered a carrier oil but because it is such an excellent skin care oil I wanted to make mention of it.
This is probably one of the finest oils available for skin rejuvenation and aging skin. Not only is it one of the most effective wrinkle fighters, but it is very safe and inexpensive. Compared to a lot of other oils Rosehip Seed is quite a late comer to the skin care world.
If there is one natural oil everyone should try, this is the one.
