Dubai, October 10, 2015: Scars are every woman’s lifetime nemesis. Whether a by-product of becoming a mother, or the nasty craters that are a gift of angry zits as a teenager, or the trophy of a brave fight against breast cancer, scars hold the stories of our battles and victories as a woman. Bio-Oil, a miraculous skincare oil, stands by you to overcome the residues of these battles as it works day and night to lighten those tale-telling scars. With a special salute to all women who have fought or continue to fight against breast cancer, Bio-Oil supports the breast cancer awareness month this October. 

A scar usually arises from an over-production of collagen at a wound site, and is an integral part of any healing process. They can be the result of surgery, burns, falls and other strong external impact on the skin. The natural process of healing for a scar can be quite long. Bio-Oil helps expedite this process by lightening scars with daily use. 

Bio-Oil’s highly absorbing feature quickly eliminates inflammation, dryness and itchiness that is caused by scars. Its fragrance, arising from the plant and flower extracts it contains, is calming and provides for an absolute tranquil application time. The oil needs to be massaged in a circular motion, twice daily for at least three months for optimum results. The results may vary from individual to individual. Although free of chemicals, it is recommended not to use Bio-Oil on unhealed wounds or exposed and broken skin on the scar.

Bio-Oil retails at AED 45 for 60ml and is available at leading pharmacies in the UAE.
