Neal’s Yard Rosehip Oil (for scars and pigmentation)

There’s nothing wrong with having a few laughter lines or scars. But if you wish to reduce age spots and scarring, don’t fall for the expensive miracle creams.

Avoid essential oils for pregnancy/nursing (and avoid shea butter for latex allergies). Keep essential oils away from children and pets. And wash skin before letting pets kiss you, if using cocoa butter or zinc oxide in sun protection creams). 

Neals Yard rosehip oil is organic to naturally reduce hyperpigmentation and scarring with vitamin E. Just a few drops needed to give 250 uses per bottle used two times daily.

Scars are the skin’s natural way of healing from injuries, but sometimes you may end up with hypertrophic scars, which sit above the skin, or keloid scars, which grow and spread.

Atrophic scars, on the other hand leave a sunken look (like acne scars). Others may have scars from injury or surgery. Simple ageing can also lead to age or liver spots (flat brown spots that tend to show up mostly on sun-exposed areas like the face and hands).

Preventative Measures for Scars

Quick action can prevent lasting marks. Apply a wild rose balm or wild rose beauty serum to areas where skin feels tender or looks red. These products help calm skin, reduce inflammation, and support quick healing. They create a healthy environment so spots and scrapes don’t become scars.

Any dermatologist will tell you that the best way to prevent age spots is to keep out of strong sun and use a good natural sunscreen.

Eating foods high in antioxidants also helps (fresh fruits and veggies). Gentle exfoliation also helps to buff away dead skin cells, but only do this once or twice a week.

Proper cleansing removes dirt, sweat, and makeup that can irritate your skin. Use a mild cleanser like a calendula cleanser or frankincense cleanser.
