Bio Oil For Stretch Marks

Picture this: You’ve gained a lot of weight or went through hormone changes whether it be from medications, pregnancy, over-eating, genetics, or whatever the reason and you end up with the dreaded stretch marks. Losing the weight you have put on is a major accomplishment in itself, but now you have another mind blow….how to reverse stretch marks you have accumulated since then. Sure, there are many manufactured oils, creams and lotions on the market that may or may not work. So, as another resort, which can be effective but not a cure and can be costly are Bio oils to reverse stretch marks. But what is Bio oil and how effective are they in the reversal of stretch marks?  

Bio oil is a specialized skincare product that not only helps reverse stretch marks, but also helps improve the appearance of scars, uneven skin tones and such. Bio oil is also effective in the treatment of dehydrated skin and the ragged complexion one gets during the process of aging. Bio oil formulations were originally developed by a man named Dieter Beier; who, at the time, was the owner of Union Swiss back in 1987. Dieter Beier experimented and developed skincare products {Bio Oil} in the 70’s and 80’s which worked best as a base for skincare products, especially utilizing plant extracts and vitamins. His idea for Bio oil was to market them as a ‘skin tonic’. Unlike most creams and lotions that have a main ingredient of water, Bio oil did not. Bio oil was a multi-use product unlike the single-use products you get from lotions and creams. Bio oil had been perceived to not be skin-friendly and tended to be greasy, however, there soon came to be a loyal following for Bio oil which did many things which supposedly included the reverse of stretch marks and scars. 

Bio oil has many ingredients, but water is NOT the main ingredient. Bio oil has ingredients such as: Botanicals (Calendula oil, Rosemary oil, Chamomile oil, Lavender oil just to name a few). It also contains vitamins such as vitamin A and vitamin E; rather than water based, it is oil based, and just a few examples of oil bases include: Isopropyl Myristate, Bisabolol, Paraffinum Liquidum, BHT, and more. For those of you who have no clue what these are, they are supposedly natural oils unlike the manmade chemical ingredients so many lotions and creams contain. Bio oil also contains certain fragrances, mainly rose: Amyl Cinnamal, Citronellol, Courmarin, Farnesol, Eugenol, Geraniol, Linalool and more. With this combination of naturally found oils and vitamins, Bio oil makes for a good product to do many things for the skin but does that include the possibility to reverse stretch marks. 

There are downsides to Bio oil. Even the manufacturer say’s, and I paraphrase, ‘bio oil is not a miracle cure’. It may help diminish the intensity of the stretch marks, uneven skin tones, scars, etc. but it does not reverse stretch marks or scars or uneven skin tones. So in Lehman’s terms, it is NOT a sure fire way to get rid of such blemishes. And the reason for this is because although Bio oil will make the skin soft; it still suffers from what so many other skin agents suffer from…it DOES NOT get through to the damaged middle layer of the skin to actually ‘reverse stretch marks’. 

There are, however, steps you can take beforehand to stop the appearance of stretch marks. If you are going through a period of time when you are bodybuilding, pregnant, gaining or losing weight rapidly, think preventive. You need to be mindful of what could possibly happen to your skin during these times and take measures to stop it from happening before it is too late. Steps such as: Increasing the circulation and absorption of your skin/body; Increase the amount of collagen; and strengthen the skin. 

For example: by increasing the absorption of the product deep into your skin, you’re allowing your skin care products to reach even deeper into the middle layer of your skin. If you increase the circulation whether it be by massage and/or exercise, you’re giving your skin a chance to be healthier and stronger which allows nutrients to reach the depths of your skin to prevent or even reverse stretch marks. 

When you increase the collagen, you are making sure the stretch marks never form in the first place. And lastly is strengthening the skin. By strengthening your skin, it will obviously make it harder for damage to occur in the first place. 

These are just a few measures you can take in assuring the stretch marks will not happen in the first place. So don’t just depend on lotions, creams OR Bio oil. 

The best thing you can do is use a system that has been proven to work for reducing stretch marks, time and time again. Try the system for yourself today.
