What is Bio Oil and what is it used for/benefits?
Bio oil is a skin treatment oil targeted to improve and reduce the appearance of scars and stretchmarks.
There are numerous benefits for using bio oil, such as:
Alleviation of stretch marks - helping the skin for women during pregnancy and during periods to escalate the elasticity of skin and lessen the formation of stretch marks.
Dry Skin - If you experience having dry skin in certain areas of your body, this helps by hydrating those dry areas and improves the texture for a smooth feel.
Scarring - Bio Oil also targets any new or old scars and supports the skin with a nourishing dose of Vitamin A, giving the skin the resilience needed to replenish scar tissues on your body and to decrease the appearance of these scars.
Ageing skin - Aids in smoothing and toning ageing or wrinkled skin and can be used on the face and body.
Uneven skin tone - Assists in the appearance of any blemishes or any hyper pigmentation marks caused by sun exposure, skin lighteners and hormonal changes.
Who can use bio oil?
Bio oil can be used in adults and children over the age of 2 years. Bio oil includes essential oils and fragrance that babies are highly sensitive to. Bio oil should be applied on healthy skin and should not be used in sensitive areas such as the eyes, lips or genitalia.
Bio-Oil is safe to use during pregnancy, due to the low levels of vitamin A that is included in the product. However, healthcare experts recommend not to use more than 110ml a day if you are expecting.
