All-natural, Oil-Based Skin Care Solutions

by Valerie DeVette

If you have recently noticed the appearance of fine lines on your face, you may want to start seeking advice from expert sources, whether they be modern specialists or ancient skin care masters. Age spots, wrinkles and dry skin are problems that have been around for centuries. Homemade, natural skin care products with oil bases have long since been made using animal byproducts, rose hips and olives.

Emu Oil is one such treatment, used by the Aborigine peoples of Australia for thousands of years as a skin care treatment and pain reliever. 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 derived from the fatty skin of the emu bird, making it a non-vegetarian product.

Rose Hip Oil's Natural, Vegetarian Friendly Benefits

Rose Hip Oil is found in the seeds of the wild rose bush native to the valleys of far-south South America. Unlike Emu Oil, Rose Hip Oil is free of animal byproducts.

An organically produced natural skin treatment, Rose Hip Oil's healing properties include: healing burns, scars caused burns and acne, reducing wrinkles and repairing dry skin. Working as a great acne scar solution, Rose Hip Oil is particularly effective in treating even the most difficult, old scars.

Just as with Emu Oil, Rose Hip Oil has been recognized as a natural skin care product by Indigenous civilizations for over a thousand years, in this case by the Incas and other native peoples of America. Its nutritional benefits extend beyond the surface area, due to the fact that it is composed of mainly essential fatty acids. Drier, aging skin will especially benefit from the anti wrinkles properties contained in this natural skin care product.

Finally, Olive Oil has recently been marketed as an effective lip balm, night cream, bath oil and skin care lotion. The vitamin E content contained in Olive Oil makes it an appropriate moisturizer for dry skin. Other potential benefits of Olive Oil beauty products include: the treatment of wrinkles, minor skin wounds, eczema and psoriasis.

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.
