For today let's talk about oils. I just realized that I've been using two oils on a daily basis namely: extra virgin olive oil and rosehip oil.
Let's first talk about the former. I slather evoo before every bath/shower. I find that by doing this, my skin doesn't dry out when I use bar soaps. I slather a thin layer of evoo before a quick shower while I apply a thicker layer for longer baths. Extra virgin olive oil, after all, is a natural and hypoallergenic way to moisturize skin plus it also has Vitamins A and E that help repair and stimulate skin to make it smoother and healthier. I also apply a generous amount of evoo once a week on my hair for a good 30 minutes before shampooing as it makes my hair appear shinier. The oil can be tricky to wash off from the hair so I apply more shampoo on my hair than usual.

The next oil I use is rosehip oil. The one I’m using is by Botany Works. I use this mainly on dark spots on my body left by eczema. Rosehip Oil contains Vitamin A, which assists with cell regeneration. It also contains essential fatty acids and Vitamin E, which promotes healthy skin. I’ve read online that it takes about three months to see a difference on scars so you got to be patient with this. So far I have been only using it for a month. I put a tiny amount on the area and massage it until it is absorbed. I do this twice a day- in the morning and before sleeping. I’ve also read that it can be used on stretch marks. So if you are looking for a natural treatment for stretch marks I suggest giving this a try.
I’d put up an update on the rosehip oil after two months to let you guys know if it lightened my dark spots or not.
Till then ツ
