Bio-Oil Experiment...

Since many of my potential readers are young mothers that want to get back to the look and feel of their pre-baby bodies, it is only natural that each of them will want to find a way to get stretch marks to vanish. For many, especially those with only one or two kids, the weight drops off fairly quickly, but those whitish or even red marks are awfully unsightly. Now, I've never had a baby, but I am actually halfway covered with stretch marks--this is because they are caused by--what else?--the skin being forced to stretch beyond its capacity. This happens often when people gain and lose weight, which is why it is so prominent during and after pregnancy. I have always wanted to banish the white marks that spider across my legs, buttocks, and lower stomach, but many products that claim to do so are expensive and therefore out of reach. That is why I am going to order this 2 oz. bottle of Bio-Oil. It is listed under $10 from Amazon.com, plus S+H.

So, as I go through this experiment, I will take photos which may be somewhat unpleasant to view (I'll be sure to photograph appropriate areas, but let's face it--stretch marks just aren't pretty). If you like, you can try this experiment with me and share your results/reviews for all readers to see. Good luck!

  1. Let me be the first to say.... THANK YOU! I am desperate to get ride of these after baby stretch marks, but I'm afraid to spend money and find out that what I've gotten is useless. Again, thank you!
