Rosehip Seed Oil ?

my3britts — Sat, 08 Nov 2014 02:59:07 GMT

How do you use it for healthy lashes? Do you apply to the lash line or to the entire eye area?

Thanks in advance.

I apply it on my entire eye area. I think it also is great for the crows feet area. I also like it down my neck. I keep mine in the refrigerator.

I use an old, clean mascara wand and apply it from the base of lashes to the tips, like applying mascara. My lashes have never been this long since I've started applying it there. Also, they no longer break as easily. I also apply it daily to my nails and have never had strong, long nails before. It is a great multi tasker. It is one of the few oils I can use around my eyes without irritation or feeling like a layer of oil is covering my eyes, lol.

Castor oil applied with an eye liner brush to your lash line would be more effective than rosehip seed oil for lashes. However, products specifically for lash growth would be 10x better. In my opinion. There is quite a bit of information online about castor oil for lash growth.

Rosehip seed oil is an outstanding anti-aging oil.

What brand do you use? STO? I've tried the tamanu oil and I remember you saying it didn't work for you. I have found that it actually dries my skin, so I'm not using it on a daily basis anymore.

Thanks in advance.

Hi HisElk! Yes, I use STO. And yes, the tamanu was just too strong scented for me and the scent didn't dissipate enough for me to stand it, lol. I am sure there are others that might work just as well and perhaps cheaper but I trust them and the product has never disappointed me. Plus I like their philosophy and how they support women and environmental programs.

Ah, I should have figured that out...brain fade.

Thank you for your well wishes!! Monday is my 3 month Melanoma recheck. I get to see if these new little nodules in my right lung are growing. Either way is okay. I just want to stay ahead of this disease.

First, love your quote!! And thank you!

I had Melanoma on my right arm & primary lymph node back in '98, 2-year surgeries & immunotherapy treatment. Then 15 years (to the day) I was rediagnosed with Melanoma in my left lung & brain. Had newer immunotherapy last Fall and have been clear since December. I had 1, 2, and now 3-month rechecks (labs & CT scans). The last scan (August) showed 2 new nodules in my right lung. BUT this disease will not beat me!

I was just about to reply to someone on another thread about something. If you're at all familiar with my posts, you know I can be stubborn.

But I read your words here and had a change of heart. Something about perspective, I'm thinking. Something about what really matters.

Thanks, F1wild. I will keep you in my thoughts.

Keep me, and many others, in your good AND stubborn thoughts!! (I'm also a stubborn one!) The first time I did the CancerChick thing I spent my downtime learning everything about my computer and Formula 1 car racing. This last time I looked inward, really figuring out myself. If I have it again I'm going to relearn to speak Swedish.

And back to the Rosehip Seed Oil (b4 I hijacked the thread)! Has anyone used both the STO and ASDM and can provide a good comparison?

F1wild,

I will keep your in my thoughts also! I had a Melanoma removed from my back in 2008. They did a wide and long incision. The margins came back clean. I have a scar on my back about for 4 inches long. My Melanoma was the size of a nickel. I take this scar over cancer any day. The scar is a reminder for me to not to take life for granted because this cancer can come back in different areas of the body. I just had my 6 month skin check and I was clean of any funny looking moles.

If you put the oil on your upper eye lid, do you wake up with puffy eye?

Yeah for you, britts!! There are several here on this forum that are Melanoma survivors, our own little club. My initial lesion was a tiny freckle thing, didn't fit into the ABCD categories, but I had a funny feeling about it. My scar is horizontal about halfway around my right arm, above my elbow. Kids, especially patients, used to ask me what happened. Moms would shush them, but I had no trouble telling the little ones it was a shark bite.
