Coming up roses

If you have dry skin, especially coming into Winter, and you haven’t yet tried rose hip oil…you may be missing out on this very rosy outlook for your skin. (+ chance to win!) 
Kosmea Skin Clinic™ Certified Organic Rose Hip Oil comes from wild, certified organic rose hips extracted without heat or solvents, and has no additives. It’s produced from the fruit that is left after a rose has bloomed and the petals have fallen. The superfine oil is easily absorbed by skin and upon first application, skin instantly feels smoother and softer (a sign of well moisturised skin).
If your skin feels rough, papery or hot in cold weather, it may respond well to the nourishment of rose hip oil. For all skin types (but especially dry) always remember to wash your skin in cool or lukewarm water, never hot, with a gentle cleanser. This simple tip does wonders for overwhelmed skin.

I stopped using moisturizer of any sort when I became pregnant with my first child as my skin started to react to anything I put on it. Have just had my third child, and I’d love to be able to moisturize again!
I used Rosehip Oil during my pregnancy to prevent stretchmarks. It worked wonders as I hardly have any visable stretchmarks at all! I wish I’d known about Komea Rosehip Oil during my pregnancy given that it is organic and naturally produced as i was very careful about what I ate and drank during this period and would have loved an organic product to put on my skin.
I’ll definitely use Komea Rosehip Oil for this purpose in future!
I have tried many facial products over the years but i find rose hip oil is hands down the best in terms of keeping those wrinkles at bay – particularly the sensitive skin around my eyes. I have sensitive skin, but this oil is soothing. The other magic thing about it is that it soaks right into your skin and doesn’t leave an over-oily residue. It never makes me break out. Highly recommend this product!
I have alot of trouble with my hands and keeping them soft and not dry, rough and cracked. As soon as the weather turns a little cooler like it has been lately here in Queensland already my hands have just started being all dry and cracked. They sting badly when you run then under cold water. My son doesn’t even like to hold my hand because he looks at it and tells me it is too scratchy.
I have just been on the lookout for a new product to try out on my hands and still sounds like it would be ideal.
Can you please enter my name in the draw as I could certainly put this to great use. I will definitely be checking these products out when I am next near a Biome store. I love products that are natural and with no additives.
I have very dry skin and I avoid all the nasty products that fill the shelves of supermarkets and chemists ( it really distresses me that so much wasteful and harmful stuff is produced daily). I have used Rosehip Oil on my face and found it to be wonderful. It also helps if I have been doing too much washing up as it relieves cracked skin.
Despite not being a teenager for over six years I still have problem adolescent skin – while I am still spotty, rosehip oil has done wonders for my face, most noticeably, smoothing out most blotches and discolouring.
So I can have a Rosy Summer’s glow all Winter through
I have almost given up on finding something that works long term for my skin but have heard good things about this ‘skin bliss’ rosehip stuff. The joke is Mum the ‘reptile’ as especially in winter I am cold with scaley skin lol I also like something that soaks right in as with juggling the house/garden/UNI/children ages 3-12 it has to be practical and just do it’s job without fuss. Thanks for the opportunity
I would love to try Rosehip Oil…I have dry skin & only use organic products and need to get my wrinkles under control.
I would love to try Komea rose hip oil. My skin suffers terribly in the Brisbane weather (at this time of the year, although glorious).I find that when the mornings and nights are cooler, and the days are still warm, I struggle to find a product suitable to use.
I have been considering trying rosehip oil for quite awhile – but the expense is kind of out of my reach! Being a uni student, I’ve been relying on my parents for all my naturopathy and other medical treatments, so being able to try rosehip oil has had to remain a dream so far.
My skin is extremely dry in some spots – to the point of feeling like reptile skin – but I still get acne. I’d like to see if rosehip oil can help balance me out!
A good friend told me to use rosehip oil to stop stretchmarks during pregnancy. Well, I didn’t get around to getting any and fast forward a few months and my tummy looks like someone has been doing burnouts on it in a matchbox car!! No worries, my friend said – it helps treat strechmarks too! And the scars from mozzie bites on my daughters face as well. Kosmea Skin Clinic Rosehip Oil sounds all the better for being organic. Awesome!!
Rosehip oil is brilliant! I swim regularly, and in my thirties started to find that I’d have goggle marks all day. Yuck! I have pretty good skin (thanks, Mum & Dad), but the goggle marks made me look tired and old.
Luckily, I won a bottle of rosehip oil (not organic), and it said it was good for under the eyes, so I started using it and within three days could really notice the difference. Fine lines disappeared, but not my precious laugh-lines. Within a few months I found that post-swim goggle marks faded in an hour or so, as they should.
I’ve been using rosehip oil for about 6 years now, I think. I am lucky to live near a supplier that sells organic oil relatively cheaply, so now I use it over my face and throat, as well as under the eyes. I’m now forty-three, but people usuallly think I’m significantly younger, despite my grey hair.
Those who don’t win, treat yourself and try some rosehip oil anyway!
rosehip oil works for pregnancy and any other ailment on the body

My hands are rougher than a mechanics but I work in an office! My hands especially will love Kosmea rose hip oil.
I use rosehip always,you can feel your skin soak it up from the moment you start putting it on, I would love to give some to my mum,she deserves some pampering,she has helped me so much recently while I have been sick
HI,
I have extremely dry skin and I have tried everything else besides rosehip oil and nothing seems to work for me.
I have not tried rosehip oil yet.
I would really love to win so I could try the rosehip and hopefully it will work and my skin won’t be so dry and flaky any more.
I am already a big fan of Kosmea Rosehip Oil and so is my skin!
Having discoverd it, as (originally) an Adelaide girl, many moons ago.
However I have been out of supply for too long now and would absolutely love some more.
Especially with our QLD winter fast approaching. (I’m now on the Sunshine Coast)
Extremely generous giveaway.
Thank you ღ
I will gladly share it on my facebook page.

Hi,
This is the time of year I really appreciate Kosmea Rosehip Oil as it stops me from getting these dry patches on my face. I have been using it for about 4 years now and it really is a little bottle of miracle oil.
Thanks for this chance to win a bottle.
