Bio Oil is particularly known to be a cure for scars and stretch marks. However, this article will aim to find out just how effective Bio oil is in this regard.

Bio oil is said to be effective if used for a long period of time, but instead of believing what people say, let’s take a look at what is in bio oil that makes it so popular. Stretch marks can be caused by hormonal changes and because of excessive stretching of the skin. Moreover, rapid weight loss, as in the case with pregnancy also causes stretch marks.

What is in Bio Oil that makes it good for stretch marks?

The bio oil stretch marks products work with the help of some main ingredients such as:

• Vitamin A: This is known to repair skin cells, and, when applied to the affected area, it increases the metabolic rate which makes cells grow faster. Moreover vitamin A is also known to make your skin look fresher, and thickens your skin which then makes it difficult for stretch marks to appear.

• Vitamin E: Vitamin E is an anti-oxidant and in a way it works in the same way as vitamin A. It promotes cell stimulation and regenerates skin cells which overall improves your skins health.

Effectiveness of Bio Oil

Now, there is a debate about bio oil being a preventive measure or a corrective measure. When talking about preventive measures, reviews say that bio oil works quite well when it comes to the appearance of stretch marks, as in if you know you might develop stretch marks (as in the case of pregnancy) you can start applying bio oil to avoid a lot of stretch marks.

Moreover, it’s also said that bio oil improves the elasticity of you skin and keeps it well hydrated and moisturized, this keeps the skin more tolerant to stretching and hence reduces the chances of developing stretch marks.

Next come the issue of corrective measure and most consumers have replied in positive about the effectiveness of bio oil. However, it is also said that it does not remove stretch marks and that it just makes them look better, making them lighter and more to according to your skin tone and that stretch marks cannot really be made to vanish since they are permanent.

Bio oil cannot guarantee that your skin will be stretch mark free, however, long term usage can improve your skin. For more detailed information you can visit http://www.biooilguide.com/ and get a complete guide on bio oil.
