Essential Nutrients for Optimal Skin
Vitamins, essential fatty acids (EFAs) and other nutrients are key to a healthy body. Vitamins work as hormones and antioxidants. They also regulate cell and tissue growth. Additionally, EFAs manage cell signaling and the regulation of swelling.
The right intake of vitamins and EFAs is essential for the maintenance of the skin, the largest organ of the body. Fortunately for us, nature provides us with a type of oil that contains both vitamin A and EFAs. This product is Rose Hip Oil and it has been shown to have a positive effect on different skin types and skin problems.
Rose Hip Oil is produced using the seeds found in the rose hips of a rose bush that flourishes on its own in the rainy plains of the Southern Andes Mountains in Chile. Known to Chileans as ‘Rosa Mosqueta,’ this ingredient is formally known as ‘Rosa Affinis Rubiginosa’. This oil has been used in cosmetic and dermatologic products for more than 25 years.
It works great to alleviate dry skin. The recommended therapy for acne called Retin-A is derived from vitamin A. Less potent, over-the-counter solutions, retinols, are sold and used as anti aging skin cream products.
Rose Hip Oil and Vitamin A
If your vitamin A levels are within the normal range, taking additional supplements probably won’t have much of an impact on your skin. You will, however, see the effects of improper vitamin A levels in your complexion, leaving your skin dry and flaky. Why? Vitamin A is essential for maintaining and building healthy skin tissue. Without enough vitamin A in your skin, you will notice some changes. Fruits and vegetables are filled with vitamin A. It is the concentrated topical vitamin A, however, that will cause the greatest difference in your skin.
Medical research has demonstrated amazing results just from using this nutrient, spanning from reduction of fine lines and wrinkles to granting acne and psoriasis relief. As a natural skin care product, Rose Hip Oil has been discovered to contain a very absorbable form of vitamin A called trans-retinoic acid. Applying Rose Hip Oil directly on the skin leads reverses the damaging effects of aging and photo aging.
Because Rose Hip Oil contains bio-available trans-retinoic acid, it is an alternative for the trade marked medications Retin-A, Renova, Tretinoin (also in the market with many different names) which alleviate dry, sun flawed and wrinkled skin, without the drug’s side effects. As Rose Hip Oil also contains essential fatty acids, this oil also helps the body maintain healthy skin.
Rose Hip Oil and Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs)
Essential fatty acids are important in the formation of our skin’s intrinsic oil barrier; if lacking, our skin can be flaky, become inflamed easily and form white and/or black heads. If your body does not have the right supply of EFAs, it begins to create a harsher form of sebum (oil), which is a root cause for many acne problems.
Rose Hip Oil’s main ingredient is a natural type of vitamin A that has anti-inflammatory and regenerative skin properties. This bio skin care product enhances blood irrigation, increases the epidermis regeneration and the ability to create new tissue.
Research has shown that trans-retinoic acid prevents skin damage from sun exposure. Even short moments in the sun increase enzyme activity that destroys collagen and elastin, proteins that restore the firmness of our skin. Trans-retinoic acid helps minimize the activity of these enzymes.
There is also evidence of cicatrizing and healing properties of Rose Hip Oil on scars, even those in the dermal layer or caused by surgery. Additionally, it also reduces hyper-pigmentation, smoothes away hypertrophia (scar overgrowth) and relaxes fibrous chords. All of these actions together lead to an almost complete elimination of stubborn scars.
Don’t wait! Start treating your scars, wrinkles, acne, dry and sun damaged skin now with an all-natural product made with the secretions of the garden snail, the Helix Aspersa Muller. This natural secretion rejuvenates the production of collagen and elastin, returning the complexion to its once firm and elastic state. BIOSKINBALM is a healthy skin care balm full of nutrients from rose hip oil and snail secretion that naturally restores the complexion to what your skin once was.
