Okay, so I talked about how Bio-Oil is doing wonders to my scar in my last two posts but didn’t mention all the goodness it contains. Here are the main ingredients of Bio-Oil and the benefits of each one:
* Vitamin A – A wrinkle eliminator! Reduces fine lines and appearances of stretch marks and fights age spots. Can also improve skin conditions like acne.
* Vitamin E – An anti-oxidant. Rejuvenates and nourishes dry rough skin. Reduces stretch marks by encouraging skin elasticity. Heals scars and skin blemishes.
* Calendula oil -Anti-inflammatory properties, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal. Promotes skin repair and treats skin conditions like acne, wrinkles, eczema, scars and psoriasi.
* Lavender oil – Antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory and cytophylactic. The cytophylactic properties encourages the growth of new skin cells which is ideal for repairing scar tissue and toning aging skin. Also fades stretch marks.
* Rosemary oil – A natural antioxidant. Alleviates dry skin, reduces acne blemishes and promotes even skin tone.
* Chamomile oil – Anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-allergenic and antiseptic. Soothes dry itchy skin and reduces skin inflammation (redness).
* PurCellin Oil – This breakthrough ingredient helps preserve the potency of the above ingredients, allows for fast absorption and leaves skin non-greasy.
These vitamins and essential oils are well researched and have shown to improve skin conditions. PurCellin oil, this very magical ingredient, allows your skin to immediately soak up all the goodness of these oils without leaving any oily film on the skin surface.
Bio-oil is Free From Preservatives and is Hypo-allergenic
Did I mention that Bio-Oil contains NO preservatives and is hypo-allergenic? I have very sensitive skin and can get a massive break out if something disturbs my skin. Bio-Oil is safe on my face and I now use it on my face on a daily basis. I think I have mentioned this in my very first post but I’ll mention it again – Bio-Oil has not aggravated my existing pimples. It has even out my skin tone very nicely and gives my face a dewy complexion. Come to think of it, I didn’t need to spend so much $$$ on face moisturizers to get a nice skin complexion. Anyway, that was the past and it will stay in the past. Bio-Oil does it for me plus more.
Bio-Oil Is Not Oily
I had my fair share of dealing with oily hands. Back in the day before I knew about Bio-Oil, I bought pure vitamin E oil to soothe my dry hands. I paid around $13 for 1 oz. Indeed, it hydrated my skin but it left my hands feeling uncomfortably heavy and oily. I also left my greasy hand prints on anything I touched. One time I couldn’t get a firm grip on door knobs at work. I was frustrated with having to struggle with door knobs all morning. Eventually I stopped using the vitamin E oil when I started using Bio-Oil. This product is the ultimate moisturizer.
Bio-Oil is Affordable
I personally think a bottle of Bio-Oil is an economical investment because for about $11 – $19,( depending on size) you get four essential oils & two vitamins (all of which have proven hydrating, healing and calming properties) packed into one bottle!! How great is that? Plus, Bio-Oil works and it’s non-greasy. I’ve got authentic photos to prove that my scar is getting better. Take a look at my before and after photos if you haven’t already done so.
That is all for now. Until next time. =)
