Rosehip Oil is an ingredient heralded for its ability to dramatically improve the skins appearance, helping to improve things such as wrinkling and pigmentation. With increasing popularity and media interest, it has become vital to ask: What is Rosehip Oil, and how does it work?

As the name suggests, Rosehip Oil is taken from the "hip" of rose, which is the seed pod that occurs after the petals fall off. It contains a variety of nutrients and antioxidants, such as vitamin a, vitamin c, oleic acid, linolenic acid, lycopene and beta-carotene, making it an absolute powerhouse of skin boosting ingredients.

A rich source of essential fatty acids, which are vital for helping to regenerate skin cells and repairing skin tissue, Rosehip Oil has proven to be immensely effective against scarring, pigmentation, stretch marks, and other ailments caused by skin damage.

In addition to its supreme healing ability, Rosehip Oil is a highly effective moisturiser, helping to nourish dry areas of skin whilst not increasing the moisture too much in oilier areas. Due to its balancing nature, Rosehip Oil can be used by anyone, dry and oily skin alike.

Although at its best when used as a preventative measure to stop skin damage, Rosehip Oil also proves effective in reversing the signs of damage that have already occurred, working over time to reduce the visible signs.
 
Bearing all this in mind, it is no surprise that Rosehip Oil is being called out as a wonder ingredient. If you'd like to find out more about Rosehip Oil, or other beneficial ingredients for skin health, you can ask our Therapist during Therapy hour every Thursday from 1pm to 2pm.

In Marine Cosmetology and Spa Therapies, Cosmetic companies draw their product richness and treatment effectiveness from the marine universe, utilising a distinctive expertise in harnessing the powerful riches of the sea for well-being and aesthetic use. The sea constitutes an immense reservoir of substances uncompromised by modern day living: oligo elements, amino acids, proteins and vitamins, all captured within the range. For example, one alga contains a thousand times more iodine, one hundred times more calcium and ten times more magnesium and copper than an earthly plant.
Since the mid-1960’s Thalgo have been making the most of the extraordinary potential of the sea to develop their professional treatments, skincare and dietary supplements, supporting the brands original concept of Thalassotherapy, the treatment of the body using natural sea water. The vast potential of marine life, with over 500,000 aquatic species and 25,000 algae of which only 30 species are being used today, is only just beginning to be scientifically employed. Essential for revitalizing, rebalancing and healing the body, Thalgo’s recognised medical patent, Micronised Marine Algae, ensures the very best results.


Algae – is it delicious? It looks like it, but what is behind this beautiful green colour?
They are a very large and diverse group of simple, typically autotrophic organisms, the largest and most complex of which are called seaweeds. Did you know there are over 35,000 types of algae in the world and only 1% is used?

Corrective concealers are available in a variety of colours, such as orange, yellow, green, purple, pink...I could go on. But what is their purpose? How we do use them, and are they right for you?
