Preparation of rosehip oil at home
As already mentioned, the process of obtaining oil from the dogrose is quite laborious, but even at home it is possible. It is worth noting that neither purchased nor cooked by hand, oil can not be stored for a long time, because in time it loses almost all of its medicinal properties.
In home cosmetology there are several ways of obtaining such an oil. Usually, rose hips are used, which are pre-dried. The main thing is that the fruits should not be frozen, because even weak frosts can kill the beneficial properties of the dog rose. In order to get the oil, the dogrose seeds are well ground and vegetable oil is added. On one part of the dogrose - ten parts of butter. Boil the resulting oil for about 15 minutes on low heat. After this, it should be placed in a closed container and infused for 5-7 hours. To prepare the oil extract of dogrose, the fruits of the plant are ground and poured into a ratio of 1: 3 vegetable oil. The oil should be infused for 7-10 days. In home cosmetology, oil is used both in diluted and in pure form.
