Bio-Oil ^® - 60ml

 

Bio-Oil ^® is a specialist skincare product that helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone. Its advanced formulation, which contains the breakthrough ingredient PurCellin Oil™, also makes it highly effective for numerous other skin concerns, including aging skin and dehydrated skin.

Uses : Scars

Bio-Oil helps improve the appearance of scars - new or old - whether from surgery, accidents, burns, insect bites, scratches or conditions like acne or chickenpox. Bio-Oil is also highly effective in helping to maintain the elasticity of scar tissue on joints and other high-mobility areas.

Uses : Stretch marks

Bio-Oil is highly effective in helping to improve the appearance of existing stretch marks and also helps to increase the elasticity of the skin, thereby helping to reduce the possibility of new stretch marks forming.

Uses: Pregnancy stretch marks

Bio-Oil has been used safely by pregnant women for over 20 years to maintain skin elasticity and thereby help reduce the possibility of stretch marks forming.

Stretch marks, otherwise known as striae, are caused by exactly what their name suggests – stretching of the skin.

The skin’s connective tissue allows it to adapt to continuous movement of the body by expanding and contracting during pregnancy, but sometimes the skin itself has insufficient time to adjust. As the body expands faster than the skin covering it, the skin tears, forming an internal wound which heals and causes a scar to form. These scars are visible on the surface of the skin as stretch marks.

It is estimated that 75-90% of women are prone to stretch marks during pregnancy, particularly in the second and third trimesters, however the likelihood of developing them varies according to skin type, race, age, diet and hydration of the skin.

Uses: Uneven skin tone

Bio-Oil helps to improve the appearance of pigmentation marks and blemishes caused by hormonal fluctuations, skin-lighteners or excessive sun exposure. Visible as dark patches on the face or body, uneven skin tone often becomes most apparent during pregnancy, menopause or after exposure to high volumes of UV light.

Uses: Aging skin

Sagging and wrinkled skin is commonly associated with aging and is caused in large part by the weakening of the collagen and elastin support system in the dermis. Bio-Oil contains numerous ingredients that help to plasticize the skin, making it softer, smoother and more supple, thereby reducing the appearance of wrinkled and sagging skin. Bio-Oil also moisturizes the skin and helps promote the skin’s natural renewal process, thereby improving the texture, tone and appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Uses: Dehydrated skin

Bio-Oil helps replenish the skin’s natural oils that have been stripped away by factors such as:

•        Frequent bathing/cleansing with harsh soaps
•        Excessive perspiration
•        Atmospheric conditions including exposure to the sun and wind
•        Central heating and air conditioning
•        Poor diet and/or insufficient water intake
