Bio-Oil, not just a scar remedy

We must all know the magical Bio-Oil by now. But do you know the magic behind this amazing product? I always thought it just got rid of scars, but you know, there's much more to this product! I got to try it out myself, and I'm loving it! 

The first thing I didn't know about Bio-Oil, is that it doesn't contain any fat. It is an oil, so you'd think, I'm not spreading this out on my face. But actually, you can! It contains vegetable oils, vitamins and PurCellin oil. 

Next to being a remedy against scars and weals, it really is a multi-functional oil used by lots of people. 
In the eastern world, they always use oils to hydrate their body. And we all know how important hydration is for all of us. That's why lots of us also use Bio-Oil for good hydration. The best thing about this product, is that you only need a few drops to hydrate. 

You can really add Bio-Oil to your daily routine for a lot things. 
Let me give you a few examples: 

1 winter skin

Use Bio-Oil against dry skin, dry hands, feet, knees, elbows, for your cuticles,... 
Just take 2 drops and hydrate your dry skin where needed. 

2 as a make-up base

Use Bio-Oil as a hydrating layer before applying your make-up.
Just take 2 drops, dip them onto your cheeks, blend towards your neck. Then apply on your forehead. As a last step, you apply a bit underneath your eyes. 

3 as a make-up remover

Yes, you can use this as a make-up remover, even when you have sensitive skin. I've tried it, and I get breakouts very fast! Didn't happen! 
Use the same routine as applying it before your make-up and then swipe it off with a cotton pad. 

4 as a light scrub for your face & body

Combine your Bio-Oil with a bit of sugar and honey and you got yourself the perfect scrub to remove dead skin cells! Don't forget to "steam" your face over a bowl of boiling water first to have the best result. 
Heat the mixture until it has a warm, comfortable temperature. 
Blend the mixture over your face and clean your face with water. 

5 against cellulite 

Cellulite derives when skin cells get infected on the outside. When you mix a few drops of Bio-Oil with honey and coffee leftovers, you've got the perfect scrub to treat these infected skin cells! Give your skin a good scrub of 1 minute, wrap some plastic foil around your skin and place a warm towel on your skin for about 10 minutes. 

6 to feed your eyebrows

Just add 2 drops on an old toothbrush to make your eyebrows shine like never before! 

7 for beautiful eyelashes

You don't only feed your eyelashes, you also prevent them from sticking together when applying mascara. 

8 after a sauna or a warm bath

You can mix a few drops of Bio-Oil with some mineral water and put it in a nebulizer so you can spray it onto your skin for a perfect hydration. 

9 for the perfect nude look

You can dip a few drops onto your made up face to get the perfect glow on your skin. 

10 as a hair care

When you have dry or damaged hair, you can apply some Bio-Oil on your hair ends for a good hydration. 

When you have hair flakes, you can mix Bio-Oil with sugar and massage your hair/head with it. It will remove the dead skin cells and the Oil will recover your head skin. Leave it in for a few minutes and then rinse well.
