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

Scientific evidence has demonstrated the properties of Rose Hip Oil in minimizing surgical and accidental skin scars, as well as the reduction of certain hyper pigmented marks and the reduction of wrinkles.

Rose Hip Oil Skin Rehydrator

The most effective method 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 sebum at age 25 than at age 50. This condition is exacerbated by climactic and environmental conditions like dryness and air toxicity. Due to a diminution of oil and depleted humidity 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 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 long periods of time. One application a day will suffice.

It is important to know that histological changes (the ones that can not be seen) 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 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 genetic factors which are virtually impossible to halt or to reverse. Photo-aging refers to the multiple negative effects on all parts of the skin induced by exaggerated exposure to sun radiation. This condition is also known as dermotoheliosis and can be reversible.

Light skinned persons 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 repeated sun exposure.

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

Rose Hip Oil is highly effective in halting and even reversing the effects made 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 should be used at night and during the day. It may take four months or more for the total disappearance of minor wrinkles and significant fading of hyper-pigmented spots.
