Wrinkled skin commonly associated with ageing is largely caused by the weakening of the collagen and elastin support system in the skin. Bio-Oil Skincare Oil contains numerous ingredients that help to plasticise the skin, making it softer, smoother and more supple, thereby reducing the appearance of wrinkled skin. Bio-Oil Skincare Oil also moisturises, which improves the texture, tone and appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.. Bio-Oil Skincare Oil should be applied to the affected areas twice daily. Results will vary from individual to individual.. Dehydrated skin. The surface of the skin has an invisible oil layer which acts as a barrier to stop moisture from escaping. In a very dry climate this lipid layer is often unable to cope and too much moisture is drawn out of the skin. Daily bathing or showering may exacerbate this by stripping away the lipid layer due to the astringent effects of soap and water. Bio-Oil Skincare Oil supplements the skin’s natural oil layer, helping to restore its barrier function of retaining moisture.. Bio-Oil Skincare Oil should be applied twice daily. Results will vary from individual to individual.
