to be honest i do not use Bio oil for the scar lightening benefit... purely because i believe that prevention is better than cure. Bio oil is an item i will always have in my cupboard, and is part of my pamper regime. i use an epilator to remove leg hairs, and after removal and a quick cool rinse i apply a very thin layer of Bio Oil (yes i epilate at night). i have tried other brands, but i love the light texture and pleasant smell of Bio Oil the best.

my favorite use however is after a night out where i have had to use 'going out' makeup, i cleanse and exfoliate and use approximately 1 drop warmed by rubbing hands together and patting on face, calms the skin down beautifully AND my skin in the morning has no tell tale signs of the night before.
