Alleviate Eczema with Rose Hip Oil

July 21st, 2010

Eczema is a known form of dermatitis that is usually characterized by itching, dryness, redness, and swelling. More severe forms of eczema or untreated eczema can lead to crusting, blistering and eventually bleeding. This is precisely why you should treat this type of rash in an adequate and timely fashion.

Any treatment option that you choose must be consistent. Eczema does not have a cure, so adequate treatment is essential to keeping your skin healthy. Antihistimines, corticosteroids and immunodepressors are all used to treat eczema.

You can also adopt a dry skin care to protect your skin from producing rashes. This is a simple option. Simply incorporate a good moisturizer to your daily routine and reapply it as often as needed.

Rose hip oil is one of the best moisturizers you can try. This natural oil is extracted from the rose hips of the Rosa moschata bush. Its quick absorption allows for an instant moisturizing effect.

Rose hip oil has high levels of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and essential fatty acids. It has a pH of 5.1 making it very compatible with human skin. For this reason, there are no allergic reactions to worry about.

The Vitamin A present in rose hip oil helps promote cell regeneration, delay photoaging and increase the production of collagen and elastin. Vitamin C, on the other hand, is a great antioxidant that helps repair damaged skin.

Essential fatty acids are vital to the production of prostaglandins. These components are hormone-like substances that regulate certain bodily functions such as inflammation, pain and swelling. As a matter of fact, if you lack fatty acids in your diet you can actually be trigger eczema flare-ups.
