It is still on..

The battle to hormonal bumps,. its frustrating sometimes that im so tempted to go back on hormone pills,. But i wont.. So I bought back-ups of those that's been doing wonders for my face and I intend to use them on whole body now.. My only consolation is that at least they grow on my back, not so much on my face (just a few blackheads,. ggrrr..)..

Tomato - Its good for drying pimples really,. and gives nice glow on face

Strawberry - for exfoliation and drying of bumps too..

Rosehip oil - this is really good not only on healing acne but making skin soft and firm. Even the facialist (the one who did my facial,. bummer, i dunno what to call 'em) said my skin is firm..

PURE ROSEHIP-OIL

Refined. Pure. cold pressed, refined vegetable oil. No additives.Unscented. NON GREASY.

This is extracted from Rosa Aff. Rubiginosa, a delicate rose which grows wild on the high mountains in Chile and which is locally known as Rosa Mosqueta.

The unique properties of ROSEHIP OIL were discovered through scientific studies conducted at the Universities of Concepcion (Chile) and Missouri (USA). These studies showed that application of this oil effectively helped in attenuating scars, wrinkles and stretch marks; in preventing premature aging and in regaining skin’s natural color and tone. This offers great penetration and significant moisture retention. It is very effective in halting and even reversing the effects of sun radiation on the skin. In general it is useful in all kinds of cell regeneration face treatments, pore reduction and acne treatment.

APPLICATION

May be applied directly to the skin and hair. It may also be incorporated as an active ingredient or an ideal carrier in skin and hair care products. It is ideally suited for anti wrinkle and sun care products.

Other info from the internet
Rose hip oil is very rich in vitamins especially vitamin A, which has been proven to have a very beneficial effect on skin, as well as a related substance, retinoic acid, which gives rose hip oil its remarkable skin repairing and rejuvenating properties.

Extensive studies have proven rose hip seed oil to have a positive effect on:
Aged skin (Fight the Effects of Photo-Aging) and wrinkles
Scars, Acne scar, sensitive & skin Stretch marks
Surgical and Traumatic Dermal Scars
Skin burns - when applied to burns it assists in reducing the formation of keloids and scar and returning the tissue to its normal and natural coloring.
Also used in hot oil treatment for brittle damaged hair

The natural composition of Rosehip Oil includes :
· Linoleic acid 44%
· Alfa Linolenic acid 36%
· Natural anti oxidants (tocopherols and carotenoids)

Jojoba Oil

It can spread well and can be absorbed well. It can be used as skin moisturizer, lip balm/moisturizer, shaving cream, hot oil treatment alone, or mixed with other product.

Dermatological tests shows that jojoba oil increases the skin’s suppleness by 45% and after 8 hours the effect was still present. It was also found that jojoba oil softens and smoothes the skin with fine line reduction. This is because jojoba oil controls transpiration water loss and helps to control flaking and dryness of the skin, thereby helping fight wrinkles.

What’s interesting about it is that it isn’t actually an oil, but rather what they call a wax ester. Of all the compounds in nature, this wax ester is the most similar to human skin oil (sebum). This provides all day moisture as it doesn’t evaporate like water based moisturizers. It is vry stable because it does not become rancid or lose antioxidants even after long periods of storage.


Overall although cleo and age-defying oil are scented, they didn’t irritate my skin ( I used them on face) , cause rashes nor made my skin itch. Rosehip oil is very effective in drying pimples. I cant choose which is better they all made my skin soft and radiant. It healed rashes and pimples. I find myself using rose oil and age-defying on face alternately while Cleopatra and jojoba oil on body.

Remember I posted that I’m battling hormonal pimples? These helped a lot. I experienced minimal breakouts on face (during those times when I was still sick and my boss forced me to report to work so when i got home i went straight to my room and fell asleep immediately and woke up the following day already) I wasn’t able to used it much on body though due to days when I was sick to bathe, was not feeling to vain recently coz I was on lazy mode or im still weak so I keep my bath routine really short, so yah hormonal pimps succeeded on giving me backne (geesh..)

I will definitely repurchase and use these potent oils as body oil and hopefully it will heal those nasty spots on my back,.
