[Fancies] Xiang Xi Ren 香袭人 Rose Essential Oil

OMG I found a new love!  My mom went to China and brought back Xiang Xi Ren 香袭人 Rose Essential Oil.  At first I didn't think too much about it since I've never really understood exactly why essential oils are great.  But when I started using it in my skincare routine I immediately fell.in.love with it!  First of all, it smells AMAZING, the scent alone makes the somewhat mundane daily skincare routine really additive - so additive that I actually look forward to putting this on my skin twice a day.  I mix it with my eye cream and face cream and use it on my neck as well.  I love smelling like roses now!  It is very classy and womanly :)  Regarding benefits of rose oil, I'm not quite sure, I did some basic search and seems like it has anti-aging benefits, and as far as I can tell my skin looks pretty healthy since I started using it a week ago.  We'll see if it actually works.

For those of you who can read simplified Chinese, here's the product description.  It talks about benefits like whitening/brightening, anti-wrinkle, tightening, moisturizing, calming, cell regeneration, brightening dark circles, helps with stretch marks, good for menopause , etc.  You can put 5-6 drops in the bath, or use it for massaging the belly area to sooth cramps.  I've not tried it in bathes nor massages, I only mix it (1 drop to be exact) with my eye and face creams.

If you haven't tried rose oil, I urge you to try it! :)
