Rosehip oil, the gentle amazing skin booster!

Rosehip oil is a skin gift. It is neither to its delicate white flowers with their sweet fragrance nor even to its vitamin C-rich fruit that this plant owes its rising popularity.  In the natural health and beauty markets of today, Rosa moschata is being hailed for its seeds.

rose hip seed oil is rapidly becoming a superstar among skincare products.  Everyone from celebrities and models to estheticians and dermatologists seem to agree that this amazing oil is the secret to flawless skin.  But what is it about rose hip oil that makes it so special?  Best when cold-pressed to preserve the naturally-occurring vitamins and essential fatty acids it contains, rosehip seed oil has a long list of uses to promote healthy hair, skin, and nails.

1. REDUCE SIGNS OF AGING

Trans-retinoic acid, a natural form of vitamin A present in rose hip seed oil can be used to reduce the depth of wrinkles, fade fine lines, and lighten age spots.  Unlike many other therapeutic oils used for this same purpose, rosehip seed oil is lightweight and non-greasy.

2. PREVENT STRETCH MARKS

High concentrations of essential fatty acids present in rose hip seed oil work to improve skin’s strength and elasticity.  When used as part of a daily skin care regiment, this amazing oil can help to prevent the appearance of stretch marks due to pregnancy, weight gain, or pubescent growth spurts.  You can find it in Pure Stretch Marks oil.

3. SMOOTH SCARS

In a similar fashion to collagen treatments, the trans-retinoic acid in rose hip seed oil delivers a natural boost to the regenerative ability of your skin cells. For small or older scars, results may be noticeable within the first couple of weeks after treatment begins.  For newer or more prominent scarring, healing may take several months. You can find it in Pure Scars Cream

4. TREAT CHRONIC DRYNESS

Rosehip seed oil is packed full of essential fatty acids that our skin needs to stay healthy and strong.  Because our bodies don’t produce EFAs for themselves, these fats must be consumed or absorbed through our skin.  Rosehip seed oil is fast-absorbing and leaves little or no residue, making it ideal for healing dry, itchy skin caused by poor diet, skin allergies, chemical exposure, or other damaging environmental factors.

5. SOOTHE REDNESS AND IRRITATION

Naturally-occurring linoleic acid in rose hip seed oil has been found to possess anti-inflammatory properties which may help to heal and soothe damaged or dilated capillaries which cause redness in fair-skinned individuals.  For those suffering from rosacea and acne, careful application of rose hip seed oil has been used as an effective treatment in some cases.

6. GROW STRONGER NAILS

Topical creams formulated to treat such ailments and generally slow-working, expensive, and full of chemicals which are fairly repulsive to those committed to the all-natural lifestyle.  The same essential fatty acids in rose hip seed oil which improve skin tone and quality can also be used to moisturize and strengthen your nails, helping to prevent such unwanted infections while simultaneously improving their appearance.

7. HEAL ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE

Studies have shown that therapeutic oils high in antioxidants help to reverse the effects of UV radiation and environmental toxins by preventing oxidation caused by free-radicals.  Nourishing your skin with rose hip seed oil just might build a barrier between your body and skin cancer.  Furthermore, the vitamins and antioxidants in this amazing oil can also reduce existing sun damage by boosting the regenerative properties of your skin cells. You can find rosehip oil in Pure Night Serum.
