There seems to be a relationship between acne and rose hip oil. Let us investigate. Rose hip oil comes from the "hip" or seed of a wild rose. The oil is rich in various natural ingredients that make it very good for removing various marks like sun burns, eczema, stretch marks, hyper pigmentation and acne marks. Yes many people will tell you that the rose hip oil is very good and effective for acne marks or acne blemishes.
Natural Treatment for Acne Prone Skin
Let
us now study in detail what makes rose hip oil so good
for our skin. Rose hip oil is rich in vitamin A,
Linoleic
acid, Oleic acid, Linolenic acid, Lycopene,
Beta-carotene and essential fatty acids. These natural
ingredients together help in keeping the skin healthy,
smooth, wrinkle free and blemish free. The various
properties in the oil make it very effective,
particularly for getting rid of acne marks. But there is
a problem as well. In some cases at least, it will make
your skin oilier and close down the pores and this may
lead to more acne if you are already acne
prone.
Acne
and rose hip oil
works best when you have old acne marks from a while
back, and have been acne free for some time now. In
such a case, you can use the rose hip oil successfully
to remove the blemishes. The best way to use it is to
dampen your face with a little water and then take a few
drops of the rose hip oil in your palm and carefully
massage it on the face for 2-3 minutes. It is best to
use in the evening time or at night as it makes your
skin appear oily. It definitely helps with acne marks
and blemishes and spots and
scars.
What Causes
Pimples?
But
unfortunately it does not solve acne. The rose hip oil only
addresses the symptoms and not the actual cause. Acne is
caused due to three very serious deep rooted
problems.
1. An
imbalance in the level of hormones - When this happens,
the sebum glands begin to make sebum or natural oil in
high quantities.
2.
Toxic Buildup - The human body makes toxins in large
quantities but when these materials are not expelled,
they start to build up within the
body.
3.
When there is a hormonal imbalance, the sebum glands
become sensitive and over works and this combines with
the toxins in the lymph and the blood. This promotes the
acne bacteria.
But the fact remains that the local application of oil or any cream or gel can only help in relieving the symptoms but that cannot solve the problem completely. Acne and rose hip oil might at best offer temporary relief but the acne is sure to return because the root causes remain within the body. The holistic approach (the approach here is to treat the body as a whole) addresses the root cause and solves the acne problems completely and totally. By adopting a healthy diet, a healthy mind set, detoxification of the body and achieving the right hormonal balance helps in achieving not only a beautiful, blemish free smooth flawless skin, you also feel better overall. Adopt the holistic approach and gift yourself the skin you have always dreamt of.
