Rose Hip Oil and Skin Health
The positive effect of Rose Hip Oil in helping to regenerate flawed skin tissues due to its content of Trans-Retinoic Acids in a natural state as part of a complex mechanism of unsaturated essential fatty acids. Therefore, its effect is regulated and slowly released by nature, discarding the risk of overdoses. For the same reason it has no side effects like other solutions made with trans-retinoic acids synthesized in the laboratory.
Scientific research has shown the properties of Rose Hip Oil in reducing surgical and accidental dermal scars, as well as the reduction of certain hyper pigmented marks and the reduction of wrinkles.
Rose Hip Oil Skin Rehydrator
The most efficient way to benefit from Rose Hip Oil is by applying it as a skin re-hydrator. As we age, oil glands diminish in size. People produce 10 times more oil at age 25 than at age 50. This fact is aggravated by climactic and environmental conditions such as dryness and air toxicity. Due to a diminution of oil and depleted moisture content, the skin begins 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 vital moisture balance.
Rose Hip Oil Prevention Therapy
Most researchers agree that the best way to use 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 those 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 are unnoticeable) precede clinical appearance (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 represents the best chance for Rose Hip Oil to perform at its best. Aging, when related to skin, can be separated into two stages: intrinsic and photo-aging. Intrinsic processes are related with endogenous and genetic factors which are virtually impossible to stop or to reverse. Photo-aging refers to the multiple adverse effects on all parts of the skin produced by exaggerated exposure to sun radiation. This condition is also called dermotoheliosis and can be reversible.
Light skinned patients who tan poorly are at the greatest risk 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 characterized by yellowed, leathery, rough, wrinkled, inelastic, lax, 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 application. In extreme occurrences of photo-aging, a more generous application should be used at night and during the day. It may take 16 weeks or more for the total disappearance of minor wrinkles and significant fading of hyper-pigmented spots.
A natural skin care product is the latest solution to get rid of scars, imperfections and skin discolorations, while at the same time soothes your skin.
