A recent survey conducted on behalf of Bio-Oil found that 78 per cent of women aged between 18 and 34 have stretchmarks, with 81 per cent of these women feeling self-conscious about them. The poll of 500 pregnant women and women who weren’t pregnant, highlights how stretchmarks alongside other blemishes on the skin are a major source of unease for a large percentage of the female population. One in five ladies even admitted they have in the past avoided having sex with the light on due to the appearance of their stretchmarks or scars.
While 47 per cent of those polled believed that they were unable to do anything to improve the appearance of their stretchmarks or scars, they could have chosen to use Bio-Oil to help their skin recover and lessen the appearance of such blemishes. Bio-Oil can help reduce the formation of stretchmarks during pregnancy, as well as improving the appearance of existing stretchmarks caused by pregnancy, rapid growth or weight fluctuation.
Bio-Oil works by providing intense hydration for the skin. It contains a breakthrough ingredient called PurCellin Oil that helps the formula thin and become easily absorbed. On a cosmetic level this makes Bio-Oil a great choice as an intensive all-over moisturiser, after-sun treatment, or even a relaxing bath oil.
In addition to easing the appearance of stretch marks, Bio-Oil can also help improve uneven skin tone, dehydrated skin and help fight against the signs of aging. In dehydrated skin it helps replenish natural oils which can be stripped away by the environment around us, while it can also help smooth and improve the tone of tired and sagging aging skin. In cases of skin pigmentation, Bio-Oil can improve the look of marks and blemishes that can be caused by hormonal fluctuations, skin lighteners or excessive sun exposure.
Bio-Oil is a must-have product for many women because of its affordability and sheer versatility of use. Not only can it moisturise your skin and prevent skin problems arising, it can also be used to ease the appearance of existing scars and blemishes, boosting your confidence as a result.
