Benefits of Rose Hip Oil

by Grant Ferns

The positive action of Rose Hip Oil in helping to regenerate damaged skin tissues due to its content of Trans-Retinoic Acids in a biological state as part of a complex system of unsaturated vital fatty acids. Therefore, its action is regulated and slowly released by nature, discarding the risk of overdoses. For the same reason it has no side effects like other products containing trans-retinoic acids produced in the laboratory.

Scientific research has demonstrated the properties of Rose Hip Oil in reducing surgical and accidental dermal scars, as well as the elimination of certain hyper pigmented spots and the reduction of wrinkles.

Rose Hip Oil Skin Rehydrator

The most efficient method to benefit from Rose Hip Oil is by using it as a skin re-hydrator. As we age, oil glands diminish in size. People secrete 10 times more sebum at age 25 than at age 50. This fact is aggravated by climactic and environmental conditions like dryness and air toxicity. Due to a lack of oil and depleted moisture content, the skin starts to deteriorate. Rose Hip Oil is considered an all natural skin care treatment. With its high absorbing level, it penetrates the skin almost instantly to recover this much needed moisture balance.

Rose Hip Oil Prevention Therapy

Most researchers agree that the best way to apply Rose Hip Oil is as a preventative treatment to slow down the appearance of skin-aging signs. They recommend starting this treatment at age 20, especially for people who burn easily or are exposed to sunlight for extended periods of time. One application a day will be enough.

It is crucial to know that histological changes (the ones that can not be seen) precede clinical manifestation (the ones that can be seen) by at least a decade. This is why prevention is of vital importance.

Rose Hip Oil Fights the Effects of Photo Aging

The fight against photo aging is the best opportunity for Rose Hip Oil to perform at its best. Aging, when related to skin, can be divided into two stages: intrinsic and photo-aging. Intrinsic processes are related with endogenous and inherited factors which are almost impossible to stop or to reverse. Photo-aging is related to the multiple negative effects on all parts of the skin induced by excessive exposure to sun radiation. This condition is also known as dermotoheliosis and can be reversible.

Light skinned patients who tan poorly are at the greatest danger for photo-damage. The marks of photo-aging may appear as early as the third of fourth decade of life in people with prolonged sun exposure.

Photo-aging is signalled by leathery, lax, inelastic, yellowed, wrinkled, rough, and/or coarse skin with spotted hyper or hypo-pigmentation.

Rose Hip Oil is very efficient in halting and even reversing the effects produced by the sun on the skin. Important changes should be observed after the third week of continuous use. In extreme occurrences of photo-aging, a more generous application must be used at night and during the day. It may take four months or more for the complete disappearance of superficial wrinkles and significant fading of hyper-pigmented spots.

A natural skin care product is the latest solution to erase scars, blemishes and skin discolorations, while at the same time takes care of your skin.
