Rio Rosa Mosqueta Oil - 50ml

The secret of Rosa Mosqueta’s astonishing regenerative effect has long been known to lie in its high natural content of essential fatty acids (linolenic and linoleic acids, known collectively as GLA) which are important skin nutrients for the rebirth of healthy cell membranes, and for other processes in the regeneration and repair of the skin. In fact Rio Rosa Mosqueta is many times richer in natural GLA than, for instance, Evening Primrose or Vitamin E oil, both of which are widely recommended by skin specialists for the care and attenuation of scars from acne, surgery and accidents, and for stretch marks. More recent research has shown that Rosa Mosqueta also contains Retinol. This is a valuable natural support for maintaining silky smooth skin, and is related to (but different from) Vitamin A.

Uses
Rosa Mosqueta can be used for the care of the skin, both on the face and on the body. It is helpful wherever the complexion has been impaired, or where the skin has not properly recovered from the surface damage, poor health or the passage of time.

Cautions before use:
Do not use the oil on active acne or open eczema
Do not use the oil on an unhealed or open wound
Rosa Mosqueta is not suitable for use on very oily skin
Like most oils, Rio Rosa Mosqueta can leave stains on clothing and fabrics - take care to allow the oil to be fully absorbed before dressing where appropriate
For very sensitive skin types we always recommend you perform a patch test before application

For best results use sparingly - a little Rio Rosa Mosqueta oil goes a long way!
As a beauty oil:
Rio Rosa Mosqueta is ideal for smoothing away fine lines, stretch marks and crow’s feet, and for reducing other signs of ageing on the skin.
Rio Rosa Mosqueta oil may be used on delicate areas of the skin, such as those underneath the eyes.
Massage 1 or 2 drops of oil onto clean skin using the fingertips, 2-3 times per day. Massage in circular movements until the oil is completely absorbed by the skin. This gentle massage encourages blood flow and ensures that the oil is absorbed into the deeper layers of the skin.
Results are normally apparent after 1 month of continuous use.

For the treatment of scar tissue:
To reduce post operative scarring, Rio Rosa Mosqueta oil is best used once stitches or dressings have been removed. The oil is also ideal for reducing old scars (such as acne scars, or those from chicken pox or shingles) and for reducing the appearance of age spots and other blemishes.
Apply 1 or 2 drops to the affected area 2-3 times per day for maximum scar-reduction or to improve the texture of old scar tissue. Expect gradual improvement – but best results are achieved after approximately 6 months of continuous use.

For children and babies:
Rio Rosa Mosqueta is 100% natural and is ideal for use on most children’s skin. However – it is always advisable to do a ‘test patch’ when using new skin care products on children. Simply apply a single drop to the back of the hand or elbow and leave for 24hrs to ensure that there is no allergic reaction.
