The Oil from The Rosa Mosqueta Plant May Help Erase Scars

There's a plant that grows in Chile that's been used by the natives to treat their skin for generations. It's called Rosa Mosqueta and it was only used in modern medicine in the 1980s. But what does it do, exactly? It's said to have powerful healing properties. When the oil, now called Rose Hip oil, extracted from this plant is applied to a wound, the healing process is said to be faster. It's also been associated with reduced wrinkles and scar removal.

Italian physicians in the 1980s used Rose Hip oil to treat scarring from surgery or wounds from accidents. They discovered that it's very effective. In experiments, researchers combined Rose Hip oil with other scar treatment medicines like Collaxyl, Panthenol, and Allantoin and the result was a far better scar revision effect.

Rose Hip oil is now available in many products. and may be used as a typical everyday treatment for minor scars. The results may vary and deep and thick scars may be hard to erase, but it's something that may be worth trying. The native Chileans who have been using the oil for centuries must know something others don't.

How to Care for Skin from the Inside Out

Human skin needs a lot of care like Angelina Jolie's (above). While it may appear that skin only needs care from the outside - like washing with a good antibacterial soap, cleansing it with toners, and softening it with lotions and creams - skin care should really be more about giving our skin, whether it be on our body or face, the proper nutrients it needs to replenish new cells and repair damage as a result of environmental factors like free radicals.

While it's true that many skin potions do help if applied regularly - there are anti acne creams that are extremely helpful for those suffering from pimples - it must not be forgotten that skin has it's own internal defense system which it uses to protect itself from microbes and other external elements that damage it and cause it to deteriorate. The best way to boost these natural systems is to take vitamins and minerals, especially those that have antioxidant properties.

Antioxidants like Vitamin C and E are perhaps the best known to help skin look younger and healthier. These are available from fruits and vegetables. But these are not the only ones that are beneficial to the skin. New findings show that grape seed extract can promote wound healing, encourage the creation of new blood vessels, and ease abnormal skin cell growth. These have been proven in laboratory tests that show how the extract from grape seeds are useful as a topical agent. If taken internally, like the USANA Proflavanol grape seed extract Optimizer, it works as a powerful antioxidant in the body.
