Rose Hip Oil and Beauty

by Clarita Miles

For years, rose hip oil has been used to take care of scars, dry skin and hair. For this reason, it is an important ingredient in today's beauty and skin care products.

A Biological Source of Retinoic Acid

Rose hip oil is an important biological source of retinoic acid or Vitamin A. This acid works by binding to specific cell receptors of skin after a topical application. After the cell receptors have been activated, there is a change in genetic expression, subsequent protein synthesis, and cell growth and specialization.

Thus, the epidermal cells are modified increasing the reconstruction of flawed skin and the capacity to create new tissue as a result of an acceleration of the specialization of the keratin. These characteristics are also what make rose hip oil perfect for natural acne treatment.

Rose hip oil produces biological activity in the skin and mucous membranes of the mouth and nose when put directly to it. It promotes metabolic changes in the skin by speeding up innate cellular growth in the epidermis (skin) without inducing any side effects. Correctly administered, rose hip oil will minimize fine lines and heal your skin. Your future seems to be more beautiful.

Rose Hip Oil for Scars

Rose hip oil has shown its capacity to eliminate scars that have been produced by accidents, surgery and acne. Apply rose hip oil directly on any scar. When applied on surgical scars, however, rosehip oil must be applied after the stitches have been removed and the wound is totally healed.

After washing the area, put the oil on dry skin with a soft massage. The effects will be evident after 12 to 16 weeks. Skin will regain its elasticity and the tone of the skin will improve significantly.

With older or deeper dermal scars, it will take longer to see any reactions. Results will also vary depending on the scar's location and the age of the person. To be an effective scar treatment method, two or more generous daily applications of rosehip oil are recommended.

Rose Hip Oil for Hair Care

For hair care, rose hip oil can be applied as a hot oil treatment for brittle, devitalized hair, or massaged into dry or flaking patches of the skin or scalp. Rose hip oil goes to work instantly to enhance texture and help promote healing.

Dermatologist tested, its soft pH (around 5.1) makes it ideal for direct application to the hair, scalp and skin.

Moisturizing Effects of Rose Hip Oil

Rose Hip Oil also attracts moisture to parched areas without over- treating "healthy" skin. It can be used for temporal dryness or after any physical activity to recover softness and tone. This product may also be used day and night. Rose hip oil is an ideal skin care medium.
