f you’re new to face oils, you might envision a thick or greasy texture, but the best ones like Dr. Lucy's Rouge Revitalizing Proprietary Blend Face Oil isn't that.
The main topic of conversation that I would like to talk about today is the Organic Rosehip Seed Oil that has lovingly been named, "natural retinol alternative" because of it's high Vitamin A, C and Beta-carotene content.
Wait a minute!!
So what is the difference between Retinol and Retinoid? Here is a simple explanation. A Retinol is not as strong or chemical based like a Retinoid. A Retinol can be in a natural form such as the Organic Rosehip Seed Oil I am talking about and the one I will always recommend. A Retinoid is a chemical, much more powerful and you would need a prescription to get it. Like I have said many times, applying products like Retinoids to your skin will thin the skin, make you look older in the long run, plus can wreak havoc on your hormonal system. You can look at this natural Retinol explanation this way. Think of a bicycle wheel that has ten spokes, that is your Retinol with all the parts working together so that the wheel functions properly. Now think of that wheel with only one spoke, that is like Retinoids, the wheel will not function properly, in fact it will fall apart and breakdown. Whether it is the food we eat or the products we put on our skin, the whole, natural form will always benefit the body and help to turn over youthful, strong cells.
I'm thrilled to say some of the Dr. Lucy products are on that new wave of natural Retinols!
I know, you are probably wondering what I am talking about, well let me explain. As you can see below a photo of the Dr. Lucy "Rouge" Revitalizing Proprietary Blend Face Oil. This magic wand is loaded with light weight, Organic Rosehip Seed Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil, Frankincense, Rose Otto (Rose Damascena) plus Rose and Clear Quartz to nourish, revitalize and boost collagen formation just to name a few.
Just a quick note about heavier oils...
"It is a myth that people with oily skin can't use face oils," says dermatologist Dr. Joshua Zeichner, MD. But, that doesn't mean you can use just any oil. For example, he says that those with oily skin will want to avoid heavier oils like olive or avocado, because they're rich in oleic acid which can lead to breakouts. He recommends rosehip oil because it's a lot more lightweight.
