Aromatherapy, though not officially being recognized as an official type of medical treatment in most countries, is regularly used by millions of people worldwide as a method of curing common illnesses. Surely, so many people would not continue to use it were it not effective? As well as being effective though, it is also simply and easy to use and, in most cases, simply rubbing aromatherapy oils (such as rosehip oil) on your body can be enough to achieve the desired effects.
Rosehip is a name for seed pods which are left on rose bushes after the leaves fell away. The oil being extracted from rosehips (also known as rose mosqueta) is believed to be extremely good for you, comprising of a high content of vitamin C, vitamin E, lycopene (an antioxidant famous for its capability to promote skin cell renewal and repair of the skin) and 80 percent of essential fatty acids.
The main advantages of this essential oil are mostly for the skin. Actually, a lot of anti aging products are manufactured using rosehip oil as the fatty acids that it contains are believed to be excellent for skin regeneration, making wrinkles and frown lines smooth out. There have been clinical trials to assess its worth, and it was shown that skin moisture was improved by 44 , skin softness by 21 , and, over a 2 month period, that noticeable wrinkles and fine lines were reduced by 23 .
Also said to even skin tone, rosehip oil can be used to alleviate redness and reduce hyperpigmentation. Used regularly, it is reported to restore skin’s normal color and reduce blotchy uneven patches. Additionally, sunburned skin can benefit from this oil, promoting faster healing and reducing long term damage.
It contains no additives or harmful chemicals, which means that almost anyone can use it without worrying about skin irritations. Still, it should always be used in accordance with the guidelines provided on the packaging. It is not necessary to contact a doctor prior to using it, though of course you can ask one should you have any concerns about using it.
You will only need to use a small amount each time anyway, as a little goes a long way. If you use the right amount, then not only will you be saving yourself money in the long run, you will also ensure that no oily residue gets left over on the outer layer of your skin (using the right amount means that your skin will absorb it all).
Buying it in its pure form is recommended if you want to experience the full effects of rosehip oil, though it is also available as an ingredient in creams and moisturizers. You can purchase it either from a local store that specializes in sales of aromatherapy oils or from an online aromatherapy store. Buying online is generally the best option as, not only will it save you the hassle of finding a store in your local area (note that only large towns tend tend to have aromatherapy stores), but it will also most likely be cheaper.
