Body: Bye-bye, Scars with Bio-Oil!

Do you have scars? I'm pretty sure all ladies would be insecure with their imperfections. Of course, while it's important to be at ease with our own bodies, we still wish there was a quick and easy way to get rid of these scars. Now you can, and what an inexpensive way as well! Bio-Oil is one of the most famous body oil around and is known for its scar removal. Well, does it really work?

Bio-Oil is a specialist skincare product that is recommended to help improve the appearance of new and old scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tone and ageing, wrinkled & dehydrated skin. Bio-Oil is easily absorbed and non-greasy. It is also hypoallergenic and suitable for even the most sensitive skin, you can use it on both your face and body. Thank you BFFSays for sending this to me!

I actually first heard that this product is commonly used by pregnant women as they use it to help reduce the possibility of stretch marks, meaning that teenagers going through growth spurts and weight gain can try applying this oil too. Bio-Oil can help to reduce pigmentation, marks and blemishes caused by hormonal fluctuations or excessive sun exposure. For dehydrated skin, Bio-Oil helps to supplement the skin's natural oils that were stripped away so it's a good to use as a moisturiser in an air-conditioned room or after spending long hours in the sun. 

The main breakthrough ingredient of Bio-Oil is PurCellin Oil which reduces the thickness of the formula. This makes the oil easy to be absorbed and helps to ensure the targeted delivery of other key ingredients such as Vitamins A & E and natural plant oils like calendula, lavendar, rosemary and chamomile, which I believe it's what gives the transparent oil its pleasant scent. 

I use Bio-Oil everytime after I shower and before I sleep, it really isn't a hassle to apply at all. All you have to do is massage the oil gently on the targeted area in a circular motion with your fingertips until it is fully absorbed. It does feel a little greasy upon application, but the feeling isn't uncomfortable and goes away quickly as the oil is absorbed so quickly into the skin. It is recommended that you use Bio-Oil for a minimum of 3 months to see results.

Well, I've mentioned this on my blog before. I'm partly insecure about the scar on my leg which I got from an accident back in 2014. I was at a team building with my student council friends and before the games even started, I slipped and fell. My right leg got scraped against the side of a drain and left a huge scar till now. I do feel self-conscious about it that I started wearing tights and long pants or skirts for the first few months. Now that I've tried Bio-Oil, I can safely say that the scar is much lighter now and I feel more confident wearing shorts! I'm pretty sure the photos show it really clearly that the scar has been lightened and redness has been reduced, making my skin tone more even and less dry. I also use Bio-Oil sometimes on my pimple scars and it really lightens the discolouration. I'm so happy that I'm gonna continue using the whole bottle to get rid of my scars! :D

What I love:

- It really helped to reduce my scars! I've tried other brands of oils for scars before, Bio-Oil still works the best.

- Pleasant floral scent

- Not greasy

- Absorbs easily

- Easy to use

- Affordable, this small bottle lasted me more than 3 months (available in 3 other sizes)

What I don't:

- Nothing, really! It's a simple and effective product!
