Bio-Oil cosmetic oil 200 ml ➤ instructions for use

The appearance of stretch marks on the body is often associated with hormonal changes. Most often, this problem occurs in pregnant and lactating women, when hormonal surges are especially pronounced. The skin experiences stress due to sudden weight gain and loses its firmness and elasticity. Bio-Oil stretch mark oil is an effective remedy not only for preventing the appearance of unpleasant stripes on the skin, but also for eliminating existing ones. Thanks to its natural composition and numerous clinical studies, the product has received many positive reviews.

What does Bio-Oil oil help with?

Bio-Oil cosmetic oil was first released in 2002 and is still very popular among women due to its versatility. It was originally positioned as a means to reduce existing stretch marks. Striae are not a consequence of any serious changes in the body. This cosmetic defect causes aesthetic discomfort and also indicates a disruption in the functioning of collagen and elastin fibers.

Important! Bio-Oil is the #1 popular treatment for stretch marks and scars in 11 countries around the world.

The Bio-Oil brand offers its oil as a means to reduce the visibility of stretch marks, as well as to prevent them. Currently, the oil has found wider use in skin care of any type. It is used for problems such as:

1. Scarring. Light scars or scars are the consequences of wound healing, after which excess collagen production occurs. Most often, scars remain forever unless surgery is performed. Bio-Oil will help reduce visibility, but will not eliminate them completely. In this case, the oil should be applied twice a day with massaging circular movements in the problem area until completely absorbed. Duration of use is about 3 months.
2. Uneven skin color. Pigment spots, peeling, dark circles under the eyes, acne spots - all these are the results of changes in the body, improper use of cosmetics or excessive exposure to sunlight. Thanks to its natural composition, Bio-Oil evens out complexion, regulates the functioning of the sebaceous glands, and eliminates spider veins.
3. The first signs of skin aging. With age, the production of collagen and elastin, and these substances are responsible for the elasticity and smoothness of the skin, noticeably decreases. Expression wrinkles appear, the skin gradually sags, loses its healthy appearance, and looks “tired.” It is possible to significantly reduce the rate of occurrence of this stage if you regularly care for your skin with Bio-Oil oil. It helps fight free radicals that cause skin aging, and also enhances blood microcirculation and enriches it with valuable vitamin E.
4. Dehydration. A regular feeling of tightness, flaking, fine wrinkles, roughness and dull color - all these signs indicate a moisture deficiency. Usually there is a thin film of fat on the surface of the epidermis, which prevents excessive evaporation of moisture. Dry climate and poor ecology negatively affect the skin's ability to retain moisture. Bio-Oil oil additionally creates a protective film, helping to restore the barrier functions of the skin.

In addition to the above examples, Bio-Oil can be used as an emergency method of protection in the treatment of insect bite marks. It is recommended to apply the product both on the face and the whole body; it can also be used to soften the cuticle.
