The beneficial effect of Rose Hip Oil in helping to reconstruct damaged skin tissues due to its content of Trans-Retinoic Acids in a biological 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 products made with trans-retinoic acids produced in the laboratory.

Scientific evidence has demonstrated the properties of Rose Hip Oil in minimizing 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 effective way to benefit from Rose Hip Oil is by applying it as a dermal re-hydrator. As we age, oil glands diminish in size. People produce 10 times more sebum at age 25 than at age 50. This condition is exacerbated 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 permeates 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 slow down the appearance of skin-aging signs. They recommend starting this therapy at age 20, especially for those who burn easily or are exposed to sunlight for long periods of time. One application a day will be enough.

It is important to know that histological changes (the ones that can not be seen) precede clinical manifestation (the ones that can be observed) 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 is the best opportunity for Rose Hip Oil to perform at its best. Aging, when related to skin, can be divided into two processes: intrinsic and photo-aging. Intrinsic processes are related with endogenous and inherited factors which are virtually impossible to halt or to reverse. Photo-aging refers to the multiple adverse effects on all parts of the skin produced by excessive exposure to sun radiation. This condition is also known as 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 persons with prolonged sun exposure.

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

Rose Hip Oil is very effective 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 use. In extreme cases of photo-aging, a more generous application must be used at night and during the day. It can take four months or more for the complete disappearance of superficial wrinkles and significant dissipation of hyper-pigmented spots.
