Most of us have been there, done that, and are still doing it. If you are feeling a tad bit lost, I’m talking about Bio-Oil, the iconic skincare oil renowned for its ability to aid the skin in a number of ways, from stretch marks reduction to skin moisturizing. Truth be told, I’ve fallen in love with this Bio-Oil for reasons unknown. Sometimes I wonder if it’s the seductive scent, or just how it leaves my skin feeling. Anyway, one day I’m damn sure I’ll figure out why I lust after it so much. But for now, I’ve put together a few uses of this magical oil, especially when it comes to skin care for men.
Bio-Oil ingredients include Calendula, Rosemary, Chamomile and Vitamins A& E, which are said to work wonders with different skin types for both men and women.
Here are a few ways men can use Bio-Oil
Shaving Scars and Aftershave Oil
When it comes to skin care for men, Bio-Oil helps diminish scar appearances caused while shaving, by improving the scar tissue. The ingredients in the oil serve as a medical remedy that can be used on damaged skin. When applied regularly, over time there is a noticeable difference, and scars will be less apparent. Bio-Oil can also help moisturize the skin with a few drops and a gentle rub. This helps in preventing bumps and calms the skin after shaving.

As an effective lubricant, Bio-Oil maintains, nourishes and soothes the skin, making it ideal when it comes to easing away all the aches and pains of everyday life. The natural ingredients found in the oil – lavender, calendula, chamomile, and Rosemary – help to maintain the elasticity of the skin by gently massaging the oil onto the body to ease tension.

Daily Moisturizer
Bio-Oil seems to be the perfect post-shave moisturizer. The dry oil has been carefully designed to not block pores due to the patented ingredient PurCellin Oil. This ingredient ensures that the oil is immediately absorbed into the skin without leaving a greasy film behind, thereby highlighting how the product is an essential quick-fix when it comes to skin care for men.
