Your Summer Saviour

BIO-OIL – THE SUMMER SAVIOUR – WHY IT’S IMPERATIVE TO HAVE BIO-OIL CLOSE TO HAND DURING THE SUMMER FOR THOSE SEASONAL 101S!

Sunburn SOS

Bio-Oil contains Calendula Oil, which has cell regenerative effects and can be used to treat sensitive, damaged or sunburnt skin. It reduces inflammation and can be used to combat minor skin infections, rashes and superficial irritation. (1)

Bio-Oil also contains Vitamin E, which increases the moisture content of the epidermis, making it feel softer and smoother. It mitigates against some of the effects of sunburn in that it reduces the number of damaged cells found after skin has been exposed to UV radiation. It has also been cited as having positive effects on the wound healing process. (2)

Dehydrated Skin

Bio-Oil helps supplement the skin’s natural oils, stripped away by factors such as extreme weather, water with a high chemical content, frequent bathing and the drying effects of central heating and air conditioning. (3)

Scars such as Insect Bite Marks

Bio-Oil helps to improve the appearance of new or old scars, whether from insect bites, surgery, accidents, burns, scratches or conditions such as acne or chickenpox. Although younger scars will have a greater chance of improvement, studies have shown that older scars also benefit from regular use of Bio-Oil. (4)

BIO OIL Application

Bio-Oil should be massaged in a circular motion on the face or body until fully absorbed. For proven results it is recommended that Bio-Oil be applied twice daily, for a minimum of three months. (5)
