Alleviate Eczema with Rose Hip Oil

by Martha Fitzharris

Eczema is a form of dermatitis that is commonly characterized by itching, dryness, redness and swelling. More severe forms of eczema or untreated eczema can lead to crusting, blistering and eventually bleeding. This is why it is important that you treat this type of rash in an adequate and timely fashion.

Any treatment option that you choose must be consistent. Eczema does not have a cure, so adequate treatment is essential to keeping your skin healthy. The most common types of treatment for eczema are the use of antihistimines, corticosteroids, and immunodepressors.

If you prefer you can also adopt a dry skin care routine to protect your skin from producing rashes. This is a simple option. All that's really needed is that you incorporate a good moisturizer to your daily routine and reapply it whenever necessary.

One of the best natural moisturizers you can ever try is a wonderful oil known as rose hip oil. This natural oil is extracted from the rose hips of the Rosa moschata bush. Its quick absorption allows for an instant moisturizing effect.

Rose hip oil also is rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and essential fatty acids. It also has a pH of 5.1 which makes it very compatible and safe for human skin.

The Vitamin A present in rose hip oil helps delay photoaging and helps promote cell regeneration and the production of collagen and elastin levels. Vitamin C, on the other hand, is a great antioxidant that helps repair damaged skin.

Essential fatty acids are vital to the production of prostaglandins. These components are hormone-like substances that regulate certain bodily functions such as inflammation, pain and swelling. As a matter of fact, if you lack fatty acids in your diet you can actually be trigger eczema flare-ups.

Rose Hip Oil for Eczema Skin Care

Rose hip oil can help alleviate most of the symptoms associated with eczema. It can help you eliminate dry patches of skin and reduce swelling. It can also help calm that itching sensation that accompanies this type of rash.

This natural oil has also been used to help treat seborrhoeic dermatitis in children, atopic eczema, venous eczema, discoid eczema and irritant, contact dermatitis. It has also shown much promise when used to treat normal dry skin and other types of rashes.

Use is quite simple. Apply a few drops to the affected area and massage. You're only concern need be the fact that you cannot expose your skin to direct sun immediately after you have applied the oil. And remember, before going out into the sun, always apply a good sunblock.

If you are using it to treat eczema, you do not need to discontinue your eczema treatment. In fact, you should consult your doctor if you decide to replace your current treatment with rose hip oil. Better safe than sorry.
