If you’ve never heard of the skincare brand Bio-Oil we need to have a conversation. The brand’s cult favourite Skincare Oil, which launched in 1987, revolutionized the way we look at our scars and stretchmarks. Literally. Because when we apply the oil’s hydrating goodness, we can’t see them anymore. Well, the skincare company continues to push boundaries with Bio-Oil Body Lotion and we have to say: we’re impressed.
Ultra-light and deeply hydrating the lotion’s formula is packed with powerhouse ingredients: hydrating hyaluronic acid, nourishing shea butter and protective vitamin E. The inclusion of urea gently exfoliates and softens rough patches, while niacinamide soothes and evens skin tone. And anyone can use it, whether you have dry, sensitive or normal skin. Plus, it absorbs quickly, never feels greasy and leaves your skin feeling hydrated for hours.
But we’ve saved the best part for last.
You have to shake it before applying it. Unlike traditional lotions, Bio-Oil’s formula has a high oil-to-water ratio and shaking the bottle helps emulsify the ingredients, activating them to ensure your skin benefits from its full hydrating power. Trust us it’ worth it. The shaking action blends the ultra-light oils with the water, allowing for deeper absorption and a weightless sensation once it is rubbed onto your skin. Try it, you’ll thank us. Oh, and if you still need that conversation, we’re here for you.
Bio-Oil Body Lotion, $21.99 for 250 ml, available at Shoppers Drug Mart.
