Skin regeneration with Rosa rubiginosa (Rose Hip Seed Oil)

March 1, 2012 By Jonathan Hinde

Skin regeneration with Rosa rubiginosa (Rose Hip Seed Oil)

Rosa rubiginosa is a skin care miracle. Described by the Andean people as the Fountain of Youth as a result of its amazing ability to regenerate and hydrate damaged skin, modern research shows that it is superbly rich in unsaturated fatty acids (mainly linoleic acid and alpha- and gamma-linolenic acid). These compounds are vital for the regenerative processes of the skin.

Rosa rubiginosa has been shown to:
• Reduce scar formation after burns, surgery, and injuries
• Recover from sun damage
• Reduce wrinkles, stretch marks, spotty skin
• Build resilience and smoothness, build collagen, improve elasticity
• Hydrate the skin tissue

How to apply Rosa Rubiginosa
Typically, this involves twice daily use for between one and three months. Apply a few drops with fingertips to the problem area. Massage gently for 2-3 minutes, or until the oil is completely absorbed. The skin will not feel greasy. In the case of acne, wash the skin thoroughly before treatment. After this treatment routine, use the oil in one application per day, which is sufficient for routine care and wrinkle prevention.
