The beneficial action of Rose Hip Oil in helping to reconstruct flawed skin tissues due to its content of Trans-Retinoic Acids in a biological state as part of an intricate system of unsaturated essential fatty acids. Therefore, its action is regulated and slowly released by nature, eliminating the risk of overdoses. For the same motive it has no side effects like other products made with trans-retinoic acids synthesized in the laboratory.

Scientific research has shown the properties of Rose Hip Oil in reducing surgical and accidental skin scars, as well as the elimination of certain hyper pigmented spots 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 secrete 10 times more oil at age 25 than at age 50. This fact is exacerbated 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 restore this much needed moisture balance.

Rose Hip Oil Prevention Therapy

Most scientists agree that the best way to use Rose Hip Oil is as a preventative therapy to retard 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 suffice.

It is crucial to know that histological changes (the ones that are unnoticeable) precede clinical appearance (the ones that can be observed) by at least 10 years. This is why prevention is of paramount 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 separated into two processes: intrinsic and photo-aging. Intrinsic processes are related with endogenous and inherited factors which are almost impossible to halt or to reverse. Photo-aging is related 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 signs of photo-aging may appear as early as the third of fourth decade of life in persons with prolonged sun exposure.

Photo-aging is signalled by rough, yellowed, inelastic, wrinkled, leathery, 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 noticed after the third week of continuous application. In extreme cases 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 superficial wrinkles and significant dissipation of hyper-pigmented spots.
