How to eliminate Blemishes, Marks and Scars

I have been miserable with the most confusing skin since a teenager having spots with dry sensitive skin, patchy areas and I was called ugly by mean kids. Now that the ugly duckiling days are over, being 27 I have to bear in mind that wrinkles are probably around the corner. During my teenage years I developed scars from popping spots and skin discolourations from eczema creams and constantly itching on my body also by trying out a facial hair removal cream at school once when I didn't even have hair but my friend tried it so I tried it (stupid I know aaaargghhh), anyway it peeled my skin off (ouch). Being of Indian skin tone does not help either as it shows up darker areas around the mouth and eyes rather than being red as it would on white skin tone. After trying various brands sold at drug stores before turning to 100% natural products I have found the solution finally to remove my bad luck blemishes.

Now you can say goodbye forever to your blemishes, marks, scars, and discolourations with key ingredients as discovered by Scientists. Pure Retinol from a natural origin is the best found ingredient to remove these skin imperfections and is most potent in Pure Rosehip oil extracted from the seed. Rosehip oil is renowned for reducing scars after surgery and improving conditions of damaged skin. Best of all its FOR ALL SKIN TYPES even acne prone skin like my sisters. Vitamin K works in partnership if combined with Retinol to increase the benefits of scar removal and particularly for dark circles as it has been widely used to assist in the treatment of bruising around the eyes, as well as in the prevention of such skin discolourations and is found in Soya bean oil and Canola oil.

Before discovering Rosehip oil I used Rosa Fina decolletage serum by Barefoot botanicals as I thoroughly researched all the ingredients and they all benefit the improvement of marks and scars. My skin improved significantly making it appear glowing, smooth and it completely faded out premature wrinkles around the mouth and eyes caused by dehydrated skin. It has been a miracle oil in evening out my skin tone. Rosa Fina is amazing for dry and mature skin and is a perfect for prevention of wrinkles.

Here are the two Rosehip oils I have used and the Akin brand smells better in my opinion but the Akamuti brand is cheaper.

A'kin Pure Radiance Rosehip Oil - Certified Organic 23ml



There are other essential oils that help in the process of scar removal such as Tea Tree Oil and Lavender Oil as they heal wounds, inflamed acne, popped spots quickly for the healing process.

So calm down if you have burnt yourself with a hair tong like I did on my neck with pink flesh exposing like I had a piece of ham stuck on it, as it will completely heal by using these oils and mine did.

Good luck Hunnies!

Holland and Barrett Wonder Oil Review

So I was browsing through my local Holland and Barretts yesterday to pick up my usual supplements, and various lotions and potions, when I came across this ''wonder oil''. Just the name alone was enough for me to pick it up and start analysing the list of ingredients. On the front it says '' a heavenly combination of oils,herbs and fruits for skin,hair and nails''. This oil is entirely herbal and natural, no synthetic nasties, parabens etc. It does however have quite a list of ingreients, all of which are either oils or extracts of herbs and vitamin a,e and D.  Reading all that, I decided to buy it,but at 10.89 it was slightly more than I would usually pay for an oil, seeing as it was a multi-purpose oil, I knew it would be used up quite quickly.  Keeping that in mind, I decided I would use it straight from the bottle as a night oil for nails and my face, and make a mixture of the wonder oil, coconut oil, olive oil, sweet almond oil and a few drops of essential oil for my hair.

As a night oil it is very pleasent to use, it glides smoothly over skin, and is very well absorbed, its oily but not greasy and sticky, and I find that its quite light and satiny for an oil, as it does not give a heavy clogged up feel to the skin. And it smells delicously of orange peel and lemon, which are two of the many ingredients.   When I woke up the next morning, I found that the oil has absorbed into my skin and left it feeling soft, smooth and hydrated. Although I do have oily skin, and therefore dont know how dry skin may respond to the oil.

As for its use on the hair, I cant give it a true review, as i used it as a mixture, but one thing I can say is that to my usual mix of coconut oil, olive oil and sweet almond oil, it gave a veary nice smell, which would otherwise not smell very nice.  I will use it as a oil on my hair alone, but just on the ends and see how it works. The directions on the bottle for hair use state the oil should be warmed, and massaged into hair afer shampooing,then covered with a warm moist towel for 3-5 minutes, and just rinsed through afterwards. I find this quite strange,seeing as its an oil, shouldnt it be shampoo'd out?  Anway, I think thats just something I'll have to find out myself!

Overall, this oil is great, does the job, for skin, nails, as a massage oil too. I would rate it 10/10.
