May fight skin aging

Collagen is the most prevalent protein in your body and is responsible for skin suppleness. Vitamin C has been demonstrated to stimulate collagen synthesis and protect skin cells from UV damage, both of which can help maintain your skin tighter and younger-looking. Drinking rosehip tea, which is abundant in this vitamin, may help your skin. Furthermore, rosehip tea includes the carotenoid astaxanthin, which may have anti-aging properties by preventing collagen breakdown.

Other carotenoids in rosehip tea may also be beneficial to skin health. Vitamin A and lycopene, in particular, are known to protect skin cells from UV damage. A study of 34 adults over an 8-week period found that those who drank 3 grams of rosehip powder per day had less crow's feet wrinkles, as well as better skin hydration and suppleness. It is unknown, however, if drinking rosehip tea would have the same effect on skin health.
