In this lockdown where we have no place to go soon, many people have complaints about their body weight. Since the beginning of lockdown, people had been exercising in their respective homes to maintain themselves.
In these difficult times, we had come up with every possible option that would be great to help ourselves, whether it’s to increase the immune system or to maintaining one’s body.
Today I am gonna talk about the problems regarding stretch marks and how to cope with them effectively.
What are stretch marks?
Stretch marks are marks on the skin that appear due to rapid weight gain or weight changes. Unfortunately, if you’re thinking that they would gradually decrease when you will lose weight, then that’s not a complete truth. Yes, they may disappear, but not completely.
Most women have these after pregnancy but it can occur to everyone besides their gender and age, who are overweight.

Yes. It is suitable for oily skin since it is rapidly absorbed into the skin without leaving a residue, so it will not cause breakouts. It is also suitable for dry skin since it helps lock in the moisture and also reduces the rate at which water vapor is naturally lost through the skin’s surface.

My take on the product
Bio-Oil Skincare Oil has a remarkable ability to improve the appearance of the skin, partly because the skin’s outer layer is made of oil. This specialist scar and stretch mark oil is a combination of plant extracts and vitamins suspended in an oil base. Infused with the goodness of purcellin oil, calendula oil, lavender oil, rosemary oil, chamomile oil, and vitamin A and E, this miracle oil can be used to help reduce the appearance of stretch marks, scars, and other marks due to surgery, injury, acne, aging, pregnancy, and more. Made for all skin types, this skincare oil has a fast-absorbing, non-comedogenic formula that won’t clog pores.
In clinical trials, 92% of participants showed an improvement in the appearance of their scars after eight weeks, and 100% of participants showed an improvement in the appearance of their stretch marks. It helps the skin to retain essential moisture to soften skin and provide dry skin relief. This oil is truly a multiuse oil that’s recommended by the skin care specialists. Bio-Oil Skincare Oil has undergone safety assessments by the Regulation of the European Parliament and the Council on Cosmetic Products. The toxicological profile, chemical structure, level of inclusion, and total level of daily exposure of each ingredient used has been assessed and deemed safe for use (including for use by pregnant women).
Overall Verdict
It was originally my mother who used to use it. Due to a recent surgery her skin became really dull and she came across it. Unlike me,my mother’s skin is dry and she needs special care for it. Not only the body but also she used to use it on her face.
Dry skin people can use it effectively. I recently started to use it on my legs for my stretch marks and this oil is no joke. It has a nice smell and it is not that oily what you are imagining. Rather it sinks into the skin and provides nourishment. If you are a person like me who has to spend most of the time in ACs, then without regarding the outer temperature, you can use this oil. But yes one has to keep patience for the results. It will be not like magic but one has to wear that oil faithfully to notice changes.
In winter , no matter what skin type you have,you can use it for your face as well as your body. The most assuring thing about this oil is that it is recommended by specialists for any gender regardless of their age, and is therefore safe. I haven’t tried it on my face so I can’t say any things regarding that but overall its a great investment in yourself.
