 Topic: rosehip oil
Posted: 10 July 2008 at 4:20pm |
|
was just reading an old post about how good rosehip oil is for stretch marks (and wrinkles!!) and was wondering if anyone knows if it's just as effective as a moisturiser rather than an oil?
Only ask cause I was looking at the trilogy moisturiser and it sounds really good, but don't want to fork out that much dosh if it's not going to help my stretch marks!

Yip its great and I think its in bio oil but I could be wrong. My sis made me a blend of rosehip oil, cocoa butter and coconut oil and I never got any stretch marks.

I've been using palmers (since well before i was pg) and love it, so maybe I should do a combination of one of the oils plus that? I was totally onto it for my belly - which has no stretch marks (so far, fingers crossed), but forgot completely about my thighs!!

I've been using Palmers since Christmas on all the bits that might get stretch marks and so far haven't got any - YAY!
I thought any kind of oil will help as it keeps the skin moisturised which helps it to stretch without scarring. I also read that they are hereditry and you'll either get them or you won't but I don't believe that now as my poor sister has them and so does my mum and I don't (so far). Don't forget anything you put on your skin will be absorbed a bit (which is why I'm using the organic palmers)
I haven't been using bio oil though coz I don't know whats in it...

i use the trilogy rosehip oil instead of any moisturiser along with the cleanser when i'm not pregnant (i get really shocking skin when i'm pregnant and fork out for clinique anti-blemish face care)
and you only need a tiny bit too so last for months!!
love it!

just got back from hardy's with my rosehip oil and can't beleive how soft it makes your skin!!! she just put a bit on my hand to try out and it's fabulous  - so thanks guys for your help!
also, you may be interested to know that bio-oil has chemicals in it... i thought it was completely natural, so that kinda tipped the balance for me

Interesting to hear that bio-oil has chemicals in it - never heard that before.
Ive been using bio-oil and Ive still got stretchmarks. They arent getting too much worse once they appear but nothing Im finding is preventing them from appearing to start with.
