The Oil That Makes You as Wrinkle-Free and Glowy as a Supermodel Experts have long known the regenerative effects of rosehip seed oil; in a 1983 study, patients with damaged skin saw improved skin tone and texture after using this vitamin C-rich oil. That's what makes this heavenly scented oil so great for treating skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

For those of us who suffer from the more common skin woe of fine lines, rosehip seed oil's high concentration of vitamin A is great for smoothing the look of those baby wrinkles. (Retinol, the No. 1 anti-ager, is a highly concentrated form of vitamin A.) Celebs like Miranda Kerr credit the oil for their glowing visages. Note that you shouldn't use rosehip oil if you're acne-prone -- it's mildly comedogenic, so it's no bueno for pores that are easily clogged.

DIY: Use the oil in place of eye cream, patting it on the under-eye area with your ring finger. Apply morning and night.
