Natural Skin Treatments: Rose Hip Oil, Emu Oil and Olive Oil
If you are getting to the age when you should begin to consider wrinkle prevention tactics, you may want to seek advice about ancient and modern remedies. Wrinkles, age spots and dry skin have all been treated by substances found in nature for thousands of years. Natural, oil-based skin care products derived from animal byproducts, rose hips and olives have been long-time solutions to the above aging skin concerns.
Emu Oil, for example, has been used as a natural skin care treatment and pain reliever for bone, muscle and joint disorders by the Australian Aborigines for thousands of years. This substance's healing abilities include: pain reliever, reduces swelling and itching, minimizes burns and wounds.
In the modern day and age, Emu Oil has been marketed as a treatment for fine lines and wrinkles due to its moisturizing effects. Emu Oil is unfortunately not a vegetarian product, being that it is made directly from the fat of the emu, a bird native to Australia.
Rose Hip Oil as a Natural Skin Care Solution
Rose Hip Oil comes from the seed of a wild rose plant that grows in the rainier parts of deep South America. Differentiating itself from Emu Oil, Rose Hip Oil does not contain any animal fat.
A completely organic and natural skin treatment, Rose Hip Oil has been proven to reduce acne, scars, wrinkles and dry-skin related problems. In addition to treating small scars caused by acne, it has been particularly effective in treating scars that have been hanging around for years.
Rose Hip Oil's medicinal purposes and nutritional qualities were known to the Incas and other Pre-Columbian American peoples, making it another natural skin care solution that has been in use for thousands of years. Rose Hip Oil is also made up of mainly essential fatty acids, causing it to be beneficial for human health on the inside and out. This anti wrinkles natural skin care product is especially good for people with drier, aging skin.
Olive Oil has also recently been on the market as a prime component in natural skin care goods. Its high vitamin E content makes it a great natural moisturizer and overall skin care product. Minor skin wounds, fine lines, wrinkles, psoriasis and eczema can all be treated using an Olive Oil beauty product.
These oils all have similar properties, like fatty essential oil content, and each of them offers protection from harmful free radicals. Rose Hip Oil, however, stands out as the most effective natural moisturizer of them all, due to the unique healing qualities of the rose hip seed oil.
