Aubrey Organics-- Rosa Mosqueta Luxurious Hand and Body Lotion

I raved about this lotion in a previous post and I promised I would dedicated an entire entry to it. This stuff is fantastic! Great smell, consistency thick enough to truly feel luxurious but not so thick that one cannot spread it. And it actually works on stretch marks, old scar tissue, etc., especially when paired with the Rosa Mosqueta Rose Hip Oil. You skin easily absorbs this lotion and you feel an immediate change in the skin. Using a good moisturizing soap/gel of your choice reinforces Rosa Mosqueta's ability to maintain supple skin.

The Rosa Mosqueta Rose Hip Oil from Aubrey's comes in a roll-on vial. Other companies have put the same oil in a dropper vial, but both systems work the same. You only need a little bit and to use it consistently. That is key. Don't expect to put it on, whenever you remember, sporadically and then complain that the oil isn't doing anything and the claims are bunk. They are not.

Your stretch marks will not disappear but they will fade to the point of being near-invisible. Dark marks formed by old scar tissue will also fade and some of the scar tissue may even heal, depending on how old the scar is. I had this perfectly round scar that I picked at a couple times on my left leg and that picking made it heal to an ugly dark, dark brown that stood in stark contrast to my goldeny-olive complexion. I noticed considerably lightening after two weeks of using the oil by itself and it has accelerated since using the complimentary lotion.

Rosa Mosqueta is the name of a specific rose that only grows in the Andes Mountains of Chile. There are other rose oils, the essences of other roses, by far one of the largest flower families out there. But the rose hip oil that lends a small miracle to the well-being of your skin is the Rosa Mosqueta rose hip oil. There are other rose hip oils out there, notably Rosa Damascena, also known as Rose Otto or Bulgarian Rose Oil, but I haven't tried it so I can't recommend it. While I usually order from Aubrey Organics, other stores carry Rosa Mosqueta and make sure it is pure. Rosa Mosqueta is expensive and in some places the oil may be mixed with other oils.
