How to use bio oil:
• Use Bio Oil on emerging stretch marks or recent scars. Bio Oil’s ingredients are formulated to improve skin elasticity, so the product works best on scars or stretch marks that are in the process of forming. However, many users do claim to see at least some improvement of older stretch marks and scars as well. Although some studies support the use of bio oil for scars, more research needs to be done to determine whether it is effective.Some people—especially pregnant women—use Bio Oil proactively to prevent stretch marks before they form. But it’s impossible to prove that a product can prevent something that may never have appeared anyway!
• Rub a small amount into the affected areas with a circular motion. For smaller areas of skin, squeeze 2-3 drops onto your fingertips; for larger areas, use a half-dozen or so drops on your palm. Then massage the product into the intended area with a gentle, circular motion until it absorbs and is no longer greasy to the touch.Bio Oil’s main ingredient is mineral oil, and it has that same oily consistency. This means a few drops can cover a large area, and that it takes a decent amount of circular massaging to rub it in fully.
• Use it twice per day for at least 3 months. Bio Oil is not marketed as a quick-fix or miracle cure for skin blemishes. Instead, before expecting any results, you are advised to apply the product 2 times daily for 3 months or more.You could, for instance, apply it after your morning shower, and then in the evening as part of your bedtime preparations.
• Try it for dry skin, aging skin, uneven skin tone, or older scars. Bio Oil’s makers primarily market it for use on newer stretch marks and scars, but they are comfortable promoting its potential benefits in a few other areas as well. These include improving older scars or stretch marks (with the caveat that the results will likely be less impressive), moisturizing dry skin, and softening and smoothing aging skin. Although some studies support the use of bio oil for scars, more research needs to be done to determine whether it is effective.In every case, use the product in the same way—apply it to the desired area(s) twice per day for at least 3 months.
Basically, Bio Oil’s makers limit the product’s "official" claims to a few specific areas, and leave it to user testimonials to greatly expand its aura as a beauty cure-all.
• Watch for breakouts or irritation of sensitive skin. While some users claim it reduces acne breakouts, as an oil-based product, Bio Oil may clog your pores and contribute to breakouts. Also, because it contains several essential oils and botanical extracts, some people with sensitive skin may experience skin irritation or discomfort.If you stop using the product, any breakouts, irritation, or skin discomfort should subside within a few days. If they do not for some reason, consult a dermatologist.
