Bio-Oil is a specialist skincare product that helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone

Bio-Oil is a skincare oil that has been specially formulated to improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks.

This hydrating oil can also help to keep the skin hydrated containing vitamins A and E, which support skin hydration and elasticity.

Bio-Oil is also a popular choice for those who have uneven skin tone or ageing skin, as it can help to smooth, tone, and improve the appearance of pigmentation.

Stretch marks look like lines or streaks across the skin and they can be pink, red, brown, black, silver, or purple in colour.

They’re caused by sudden growth or weight gain when the deeper layer of the skin (dermis) tears.

Stretch marks are extremely common, harmless, and nothing to be embarrassed about - however - scar treatments may be able to minimise their appearance if used early enough.

Stretch marks are harmless, but you might not like how they look. If so, you should try Bio-Oil.

Bio-Oil combines natural plant oils, vitamins, and a unique ingredient called PurCellin oil to help improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks.

Plant oils are traditionally used to enhance the appearance of the skin, while vitamins support your skin’s health, making this a great skincare combination.

PurCellin helps to reduce the consistency of the oil, creating a lighter formula that’s quickly absorbed into the skin.

Stretch marks and cellulite are two different conditions that affect the appearance of your skin.

Stretch marks are long, thin lines that can be red or purple in colour, and white once they’ve faded.

They develop on areas such as the hips and abdomen (they can appear in other places, too) where there has been weight gain or loss and the skin has been stretched.

Whereas cellulite appears in dents and dimples usually around the thighs and buttocks, caused by a buildup of fat underneath the skin.

Stretch marks are long, thin lines that can be red or purple in colour, and white once they’ve faded.

They develop on areas such as the hips, abdomen, breasts, and buttocks, but they can appear almost anywhere on the body.

They appear where there has been weight gain or loss and the skin has been stretched, like during pregnancy.

Cellulite is caused by a build-up of fat underneath the skin which some women are more prone to than others.

The probability of you developing cellulite and how noticeable it is depends on your genes, the amount of body fat you have and your age.

How thick your skin is can also affect how apparent your cellulite is.

It’s important to note that cellulite isn’t always a marker of being overweight - people of all body types and weights can develop cellulite.

Although it’s almost impossible to remove cellulite completely without undergoing surgery, there are methods you can adopt at home to make it less noticeable.

Eating healthily, drinking plenty of water, exercising and applying a firming cream daily can all help to reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Cellulite is usually soft, but sometimes it can be hard or oedematous (swollen).

Hard and lumpy cellulite is common in women who frequently exercise, whereas soft cellulite is common in inactive women who have lost weight.

Swollen cellulite is common in women who are overweight.
