How to maximise the effects of Bio-Oil to help reduce scarring

The average person is said to have three scars on their body – who knew? But no matter how common scarring is, it can still knock your confidence. Whether your scar came from surgery, acne or stretch marks, each has a story behind it.

Scars usually fade in colour over time, and even though there’s no treatment to make them disappear completely, it’s still possible to help improve their appearance and your confidence.

1.       Massage Bio-Oil into the scar daily to keep it hydrated, and soften the scar tissue

2.       Wear a sunscreen as sun exposure on new scars can cause unwanted pigmentation

3.       Bio-Oil is clinically proven* to improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone. Massage two drops into your scar twice a day to help reduce its appearance.

Why uneven skin tone appears and how to correct it

Before you reach straight for the makeup to cover up uneven skin tone, it’s possible to help correct the marks, leaving you with clearer and healthy-looking skin and a much better base for you to apply make-up.

To help you correct uneven skin tone, it’s important to know why it occurs. There are three main contributors:

1.       UV exposure can cause sun damage and hyperpigmentation such as sun spots, liver spots or age spots. The cells containing melanin cluster together and form marks that appear darker on your skin

2.       Increases in oestrogen from birth control pills or pregnancy can stimulate pigment cells to work overtime and create an overproduction of melanin in the skin, which isn’t contained to small circles like you’d see with UV exposure

3.       Small injuries from acne scarring and small cuts can spark melanin production, which sometimes leave small marks on the skin

Fortunately, there is a simple way to correct these marks. Bio-Oil contains a unique blend of ingredients that work together to balance the skin, including vitamin E, for smooth skin; calendula oil for its regenerative qualities; lavender oil for overall improved skin function, and Purcellin Oil which makes it possible for all the ingredients to soak deeper into the skin. Applying two drops of Bio-Oil twice a day can help reduce the marks that cause uneven skin tone.

How to nourish your skin and balance out uneven skin tone

Helping your skin look healthy and feel soft might seem like an unattainable holy grail, but Bio-Oil is here to help! Applying two drops of Bio-Oil to your skin daily can help reduce dark marks and improve your skin’s health, meaning that clearer skin can be yours!

Bio-Oil contains vitamin E, which helps to make skin smooth, soft and supple, and calendula oil, which helps regenerate the skin. For the best results, it’s important to nourish your body from the inside out. We’ve shared our top four food groups that will feed your skin and make it glow:

1.       Oily foods such as fish, seeds and nuts give cell membranes a boost and help reduce inflammation

2.       Vitamin E rich foods like raw sunflower seeds, olives, avocado and boiled spinach help protect skin from UV light, one of the main causes of uneven skin tone

3.       Fruits that are high in vitamin C can really benefit your skin as it boosts collagen production and has antioxidant properties. Oranges, blackcurrants and kiwi fruit help to strengthen the capillaries (tiny blood vessels) that supply skin, helping skin look radiant and reducing blemishes

4.       Foods that contain vitamins B2 (Riboflavin) and B3 (Niacin) supports the work that Bio-Oil does for your skin. These vitamins also help promote and maintain healthy-looking skin by improving the skin’s moisture retention leading to softer, smoother skin. Try high protein foods, fortified cereals and breads, meats, fish, eggs, peanuts for a vitamin boost.

Recommended to me by a nurse after breast surgery to fade the extensive scarring. It worked! Came with instructions for facial application! Used it every day since. Also add to a bath, along with a glass of wine & a good book!
