Miranda Kerr says Rosehip oil is a handbag essential

Miranda Kerr counts Rosehip oil as one of the essential products every woman should keep in their handbag.

The Australian model finds the essential oil is particularly useful as a make-up remover and that it can also be a useful tool to protect against the effects of exposure to the sun and ageing.

Writing on her blog for KORA Orangics.com, she said: “Essential Fatty Acids main function is their ability to counteract the drying effects of sun exposure and other environmental influences that lead to signs of aging and age related skin damage.

“This is without a doubt, a product that every woman should have in her handbag and one that I will continue to use throughout my life.

“I use this under my moisturiser of an evening and as a makeup remover around my eyes. I also use it more frequently if my skin is particularly dry at any time.”

Miranda – who is married to Hollywood hunk Orlando Bloom – endorses a brand of Rosehip oil through her KORA Organics range, which she says has a particular blend of ingredients designed to give the optimum care for skin.

The mother-of-one added: “KORA Organics Luxurious Rosehip Oil is a carefully blended powerful Treatment Oil combining Noni Extract, Organic Rosehip, Jasmine, Rose and Pomegranate Oils.

“The combination of these additional Essential Oils work synergistically with the Rosehip Oil to provide a rich source of anti-oxidants and Essential Fatty Acids for the skin.

“We will also always represent the true season changes of the natural and organic ingredients and raw materials used in every product whilst maintaining the nutritional integrity of each ingredient and every product.”
