Is bio oil good for stretch marks and saggy skin?

FloFlo

I read that bio oil is good for stretch marks but then saw someone reccommending to someone losing weight to stop saggy skin.

Does it firm aswell help stretch marks?

Also can it be used all over - boobs, tummy etc.

Thanks

I used bio oil when my daughter had an accident and burnt her hand. She was supposed to get a skin graft, but by me researching it and extra nutrition she managed to avoid it much to the drs amazement. Once we got permission from the dr we put bio oil on her hand several times a day. Now unless you had known she's been burnt - you wouldn't notice anything.

I've never tried it with streach marks or sagging skin so can't comment. I've read in order to avoid the sagging skin associated with weightloss - to drink lot's of water and take plenty of 'skin vitamins' ie. vitamins a and e. I've almost always got bio oil at home because I have a house hold of tomboy daughters. The last time I went to the health food store though the manageress there said bio oil is overpriced and that a simple vitamin e oil would do the same. I'm not decided but this time bought a wheat germ oil to try. Aldi also has there own version of bio oil for a fraction of the price out now, and I have heard wilko's do their own too.
