Oil from the Rosa Mosqueta is normally extracted using organic solvents—ethanol, water, and vinegar. What remains are brown-yellow crystals that are identical to Vitamin A. This came as a surprise to scientists because Rose Hips, the seeds of the rose, are popular for their Vitamin C content.

Oil from the Rosa Mosqueta contains around three-quarters essential fatty acids: oleic, linoleic, and linolenic, which help maintain healthy skin. Rosehip oil also contains natural Tretinoin, a derivative of Retinol (Vitamin A), that replenishes and helps rebuild skin tissue. The oil has a natural preservative in the form of anti-oxidant tocopherols (Vitamin E), which act as a natural preservative.

Because of its Vitamin A content, Rosa Mosqueta has an excellent effect on aging skin, scars, and sunburns. It supports the keratin migration cycle that is responsible for natural cell regeneration. Scientific studies confirm that Rosehip oil is highly effective in the treatment of premature ageing, producing a dramatic effect on fine lines and wrinkles in just a short period of use. For this reason, formulations containing Rosa Mosqueta are great for—

• Wrinkles
• Sun burn
• Acne/acne scaring
• Minor burns

Serums and creams made with Rosa Mosqueta also help to reduce pigmentation and raised scar tissue even on old scars and can be used to treat skin damaged by:

• Minor burns
• Stretch marks
• Acne
• Sun exposure

The expressed oil of the seeds of the Rosa Mosqueta have been shown to heal human conditions that have not responded well to other therapies, including , chronic ulceration in paraplegics, bed sores, radiation burns, sun-damaged skin, skin grafts, dry skin, and old scars.

If you’re looking an effective night cream or skin serum with anti aging properties, this one has a proven track record. Not only does it have vitamins, but it also contains essential fatty acids.

You really need to guard against the type of wrinkle creams anyway. There is huge marketing hype going on in the industry. The before and after pictures of women make you think that the product can do miracles on your skin. The words collagen and elastin are thrown around which are not solutions for your dilemma.

It is true that as you age, your collagen and elastin levels start to drop, but it doesn’t make sense to apply creams that have these two chemicals and assume that your skin will be able to absorb them.

You’ll be happy to know that scientists have discovered natural substances that have the ability to stimulate the body’s own collagen production. They do wonders in preventing wrinkles, plus, the effects are nothing short of amazing because they will give you a firm, pliant, and elastic skin.

These products do not add anything that is new to your system. In fact, it only enhances what you already have in the first place. Therefore, you won’t walk around looking like a wax figure from another time and place.

One such ingredient is aloe vera. It helps skin retain moisture, is antibacterial, as well as antifungal. Aloe vera can also be digested and contains over two hundred naturally-occurring nutritional substances including nine minerals, antioxidants, vitamins A, C, E, and B complex.

Before you go an pay a hefty amount of money, make sure there aren’t cheaper natural alternatives that will work just as well. With so many new creams to choose from now, it is difficult to decide which one is the best to use. It’s crucial to bear in mind that there is a wide variety of products containing ingredients that you skin really can’t make use of. Know what works for you and study the package carefully — you may be able to make it at home for a lot less.

Sure, wrinkles show our character as we age, but we don’t want those wrinkles to completely take over. There are advertisements galore touting the virtues of wrinkle-reducing potions you can buy at your local pharmacy or department store. But, why not try a few natural fixes first. Natural wrinkle fighters work best when you use them throughout your lifetime and not just when the wrinkles show up. However, it is never too late to start pampering your skin. Let’s take a look at a few of Mother Nature’s wrinkle-reducing solutions:

Salad soothers

Cucumbers are not just a tasty addition to your salad. No, they can be used to help sooth your skin, too. Puffiness under the eyes is due to retained fluid in the tissues. Whether you suffer from allergies or you’ve had a good cry, those bags are not going away very fast. Slice a fresh cool cucumber, lay back, and place the slices over your eyes, and relax. Your puffy eyes will shrink back to normal in no time.

Avocados are not only delicious but are loaded with wrinkle-fighting oils. Mash an avocado and apply to your face. Then relax and enjoy the soothing and softening effects. Of course, you’ll want to buy two avocados. The nutritional benefits of avocados should also be enjoyed from the inside-out. That’s right; avocados improve your skin when you eat them, too.

Ten glasses a day

The body is mostly made up of water. When your body doesn’t have enough water, your skin will let you know. How? Almost immediately your skin will feel tight. Over time your skin will begin to lose elasticity. Lack of moisture leaves skin feeling dry and less ‘plump.’ That’s when you will start to notice fine lines and wrinkles.

Fully hydrating your body from the inside-out makes sense. When your skin and supporting tissues have enough moisture, you start off with a better base for all those lotions and creams. If you slather on the moisturizer, but your body is dehydrated, you are fighting a losing game. With your body fully hydrated, your skin will look fresher, more resilient, and more radiant. You’ll see as time goes by that wrinkles are less noticeable and your skin feels like it has more spring to it.

Rest

How much sleep do you get? The body’s cells use the hours of sleep as a time when they can shut down all unnecessary systems and get to the business of repair. Lack of sleep robs the body of this ‘down time’ needed for repair. Not only does lack of sleep add to stress levels and fatigue, but it also contributes to looking and feeling older.

The amount of sleep you need depends on your age and other factors, such as health and lifestyle. Most adults need at least eight hours a night. That may seem like a tall order for a lot of busy people, but those are the facts. Without a good chunk of sleep each night, your health suffers right along with your looks. Don’t neglect this very important part of your daily care. It’s no badge of courage to get by on little to no sleep, unless you consider prematurely wrinkled skin and ill health something to be proud of.

Exercise

Here we go again. It’s hard to deny that getting off the couch and moving can help the body stay young. There are several reasons why exercise helps improve your skin’s appearance. Sweat helps to purge the body of impurities, as well as increases your heart and respiratory health. A healthy heart and lungs improves your overall health, as well. And a healthy body naturally has a healthier appearance.

Taking oxygen deep into your lungs gets the blood moving and increases circulation. This increased circulation happens throughout your entire body, including your skin and the tissues that support your skin. This increased circulation helps rejuvenate the skin cells and keep them renewing at a more rapid pace than if you just sit like a lump all day.

Are you aging gracefully? If not, you might want to try these natural methods to improve your skin’s health and appearance. Of course, wrinkle-reducing lotions are nice to use, too, but when you start with Mother Nature’s health regime, you give those special potions a nice head start.
