Beneficial Way to Assist Your Skin

As many of you know, the rose is a plant that has long been utilized in beauty and healing plans. The petals, the essential oil, the waters, and the oil from the seeds from the rose hips. For starters, what are rose hips, you may wonder? And what is in the oil? How can it help me? Well continue reading!

The rose hip is the rounded and usually red seed pod that grows after the rose loses its petals. Rose hips are generally well known because they are used in tea because they are rich in vitamin C. There are seeds inside of the rosehip- small light yellow colored seeds. When pressed (Inflora Botanica uses a healthy cold pressing method much like the method that gets the best olive oil and apple cider), the oil that comes out is dark yellow/light orange and absolutely filled with nutrition for your skin. Poetically, rosehip oil is called the "blood of the rose."

Rosehip oil is one of the beauty industry's best kept secrets. The oil is often used in small amounts (because it is very dear) in celebrated vitamin C serums and other body treatments. While many people thought that the fantastic benefits that it offers were from its high profile in essential fatty acids, it is now commonly accepted that the majority of benefits are as a result of its incredibly high quantities of vitamin A, or retinol. Dr. Oz called rosehip seed oil "nature's retina-A" which is a true proclaimation. Many share benefits that are truly amazing. One woman, a customer, shared that the oil removed her daughter-in-law's pregnancy stretch marks that were from 2 years prior. And she had only been using the oil for one week!

The face is the most frequently targeted area for the use of rosehip seed oil. Our founder uses it on her face because she has sun damage. She reports that the darker spots have faded and that her naturopath uses Vitamin A to treat pre skin cancer. The most common use of the oil is for women who want more moisture in their face. Inflora Botanica's certified organic rosehip seed oil really plumps up the skin. Used just after the shower or when your face is wet, the oil brings the toner into the pores and the level of hydration is really increased. The term anti-aging is a commonly used word with respect to rosehip seed oil for these reasons.

Eczema sufferers also report serious benefits. The oil decreases the appearance of the raised patches and in unique cases problem areas totally disappear!! Same with diaper rash for children and adult acne sufferers. Further, one customer reported that the rosehip seed oil has healed acne scars that she has been embarrassed of since she was a teenager. The change has lifted her sense of self confidence and she says that she is nowhappy and "putting her best face forward."
