Skin Care Tip: Bio Oil

submitted by Pamela King, Auckland, New Zealand

Tip description / details:
I started using Bio Oil for repairing scar tissue. It is also supposed to be good for stretch marks.

Ingredients:
Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Chamomile extract, Calendula, Lavender and Rosemary. Launched by Union-Swiss in 1987, Bio-Oil is the result of two decades of research into oil-based vitamin-enriched skincare. The research focused primarily on solving the following problem: while oils provide the optimal storage environment for vitamins and other active ingredients, they are generally thick and sticky in nature and, as such, do not absorb well. The result is that the active ingredients largely remain in the oily residue on the skin surface and do not penetrate to where they are required.

How to prepare:

How to use:
You don't need to use a lot. I did find that using it twice a day on my face was too much and I started getting little white bumps around my eyes, but I use it every second night without any problem.

Results (observed by submitter):
It has done a good job of minimising my scar, and I have been using it for my face for several months. It has evened out my skin tone and appears to be minimising some age spots on my face. I am now using it as an all over body oil, because, hey, it can't hurt and it's not expensive.

Costs involved:
$40
