How To Make Rosehip Seed Oil Against Stretch Marks

In today’s article, we want to share a simple recipe for a rosehip seed oil against stretch marks. Weight changes and loss of skin elasticity will cause them to form anywhere on the body. This cream made with natural ingredients will provide moisturizing and promote regeneration of your skin.

The benefits of rosehip seed oil

Rosehip seed oil is a secret for many women who want to prevent and reduce wrinkles. It has high nutrients and regenerative powers, so  it is great for dry and mature skin  that lacks brightness and firmness.

This oil, which is extracted from the rose seeds, stands out for its high content of polyunsaturated essential fatty acids as well as antioxidants and vitamins A, C and E. But when it comes to acquiring it,  make sure that it is pure because many low or mixed quality products are available in the market.

Aloe vera gel

Aloe vera is an important ingredient in natural and homemade cosmetics. In addition to the gel’s texture, which is  ideal for mixing with other ingredients  and applying to the skin, its properties make it the perfect base for many treatments.

The gel extracted from the leaf or leaves of this plant has soothing, moisturizing, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and healing properties. These healing properties are effective in treating all skin problems (including stretch marks).

In addition,  aloe vera can also be applied directly to the skin as it provides a pleasant freshness and a protective layer. Its consistency allows for very easy application and fast absorption. If you also mix it with oils, you will find that the result is not as oily and penetrates better into the skin.

Cocoa butter

Cocoa butter is a staple in chocolate making. But it is also a very common product in natural cosmetics thanks to its many properties. For example, it is the basis of many forms of lip balm and conditioner because it protects your lips from external factors such as sun, wind or cold.

This type of butter is very antioxidant, so it prevents skin aging caused by free radicals. It  also  reduces scars and stretch marks, maintains hydration and promotes regeneration of skin cells.

Cocoa butter is also effective in treating wrinkles and can be a good immediate  remedy for soothing burns  . In addition, it is effective in treating some cases of psoriasis and eczema.
