Bio-Oil

It's very rare these days that you find a product which does exactly what it promises to do. The shelves of our local Superdrugs and Boots are piled full of beauty products claiming to zap away our spots, annihalate our wrinkles and leave us as perfectly airbrushed as beauty campaigns models. Alas, many of them leave a lot to be desired, and with make-up and beauty products becoming evermore expensive, you want something that will work first time and everytime. One example of such a product is Bio-Oil.

A few years ago due to a painful teenage growth spurt, my younger sister suffered with awful stretch marks on her legs and bum. A friend recommended Bio-Oil, a rub-in oil which claimed to eradicate not only stretch marks, but the appearance of scars, uneven skin tone and dehydrated skin. We were skeptical at first, how could a product possibly resolve all of these issues in just a couple of months? But to our surprise, and the happiness of my sister, after a few months of rubbing the oil onto her stretch marks daily, they had transformed from a deep shade of purple to vanishing without a trace!

For me the problem was entirely different. I have an inability to leave spots unpopped or scabs unpicked, which has left various parts of my body covered in unsightly scars. Despite the success with my sister's stretch marks I was still skeptical about the results Bio-Oil could offer me, especially as it's a little expensive for a student with a small 60ml bottle costing £9 and a 200ml over £20. But with summer upon us and a wardrobe full of dresses I was dying to wear, I bit the bullet, coughed up the money and tried Bio-Oil for myself and I have to say I'd recommend it to everyone. I've been using it for just over a month now and the deep purple scars are already lighter and on their way out. Yes it might sound like a long process (it is recommended you use it atleast once or twice daily for a three month period) but the effects, for me, have been well worth the wait. I have even been using it on my face and have noticed an amazing difference in my uneven skin tone giving my skin a healthier glow.

Now as I said it is a little on the expensive side if you have a lot of scars like me, so I would recommend avoiding the high street chains of Superdrug and Boots and opt for buying through Amazon or Chemist Direct. which could save you up to 50%. Make sure to check seller reviews before you buy though so you know the product is worth buying from that particular seller.

I hope this product will work as well for you as it did for me!
