Hello herb loving friends! We hope by now you’

Hello herb loving friends!

We hope by now you’ve all had the chance to harvest some Rosehips. If you have we hope you join us in creating the most simple, yet powerful facial oil that will keep our faces moisturized and glowing throughout the cold winter months.

What to do: Air dry Rosehips for at least 2 days to decrease water content. You absolutely could use dried. Break open the Rosehips in your mortar and pestle, just a bit to increase surface level exposure. Transfer to them to a sterilized jar. Cover with grape seed oil until oil is about 1-2 inches above berries and 1 inch from jar lid. Close. Label. Done! Place in a warm, sunny spot and in 4-6 weeks you will have the best facial oil! Alternatively you could place the jar in a water bath (crockpot) on low for 6-8 hours.

What’s the big deal about this oil?

Grapeseed oil alone…
👉🏼manages breakouts
👉🏼reduces scars
👉🏼absorbs easily
👉🏼minimizes fine lines
👉🏼evens skin tone
👉🏼hydrates due to its rich content of linoleic acid and Vit E

Rosehips offer so much too…
👉🏼reduces inflammation
👉🏼helps to brighten skin tone
👉🏼rich in Vit C
👉🏼rich in Vit A which is essential in reducing and reversing sun damage

Are you ready to glow this winter with all natural skin care? We are!

Get creative! You could add other skin nourishing herbs such as Calendula. If you make your own Rosehip facial oil, let us know by tagging us in the fun.

From your friends here at The Ginkgo Tree, green blessings🌱
