So what does Bio Oil claim to do?

Dehydration of the skin

Bio Oil is said to improve the elasticity of the skin, thus making the formation of new stretch marks and the worsening of current stretch marks less likely. The overall appearance of the skin is also said to improve from the use of Bio Oil, therefore reducing the appearance of stretch marks.

How and when to use Bio Oil?

Bio Oil is used by gently rubbing a suitable amount of the oil into the affected areas. For the use of preventing and improving the appearance of stretch marks, Bio Oil is suggested to be applied in a circular motion twice a day for three months. From viewing feedback on online communities there is positive feedback from using Bio Oil for helping reducing the appearance of eczema, with some people adding the Bio Oil to a running bath (half a dozen drops into the running water).

Bio Oil is suitable for the face and body, but should not be drank, applied to broken skin, or used internally.

Who may benefit from Bio Oil?

Bio Oil does appear to help with the overall appearance of the skin, also possessing some anti aging properties. The solution is reported as not feeling oily, and also does not look greasy on the skin at all, either. This could make Bio Oil a decent general skin care product.

The way in which Bio Oil has been reported to effectively aid in reduction of the formation, and appearance of stretch marks, makes its potentially an effective skin care product for bodybuilders, and also pregnant women. Bodybuilders, who do have a tendency to develop stretch marks when increasing muscle mass, may find Bio Oil helpful to improve the skins elasticity and overall appearance. Pregnant women tend to develop stretch marks too, therefore Bio Oil has effectively been used to prevent stretch marks from forming during pregnancy.
