My Scar My Story with Bio-Oil

Bio-Oil is excited to announce their campaign.

When it comes to scars, i believe that we all have scars on our body that we know of. Behind each scar, it holds life episodes which will serve as memories, some good and some paiful ones. So in 2015, Bio-Oil decided to have a campaign themed as 'My Scar My Story' to offer individuals inspirations and solutions to their scars via a microsite www.myscarmystory.com.my.This online platform basically brings Malaysians together to share their scar story a way of inspiring individuals going through emotional distress due to scars.

Yummy eateries early in the morning.

Did you know that research has revealed that every individual would have an average of 3 scars? I even heard that 56% of the women population suffers paychological issues considering thenselves 'abnormal' due to their scars. And imagine that this actually leads them to depression and anti-social behaviors due to low self esteem due to scars? And this is what the campaign is all about, to share experiences on how to cope with your scars.

Ms Stephanie Ng, the Product Manager of Bio-Oil Malaysia

We had Ms Stephanie Ng who is the Product Manager of Bio-Oil in Malaysia who said "We hope through this campaign, women will learn the many ways of coping with scarsd proactively instead of just hidig their scars from the eyes of the public. We are confident that 'My Scar My Story' will offer real life stories that will serve as an inspiration to many who are suffering both wmotionally and physically from scars."

Dr Nazirin, a dermatologist from Pantai Hospital

During the event, we has Dr Nazirin Ariffin, a renowned dermatologist from Pantai Hospital to offer professional advice and weekly tips on scar management via the microsite. Dr Nazirin psychologically supporting her patients are necessary and its far beyond just wound care. Providing optimal advice and guidance to patients as well as managing their expectations will reduce patients emotional distress. She also mentioned that the most common causes of scars among her patients are usually through acne, eczema and psoriasis, second degree skin burns, accidents, cuts and falls.

The highlighted ingredients in Bio-Oil

Scars may look bad in the beginning, but over time with good would care, some topical treatments would usually improve the appearance. Bio-Oil has been clinically proven to help improve the appearance of all types of scars (including mine) thanks to the active ingredients of plant extracts such as Chamomile, Lavender, Rosemary and Calendula oils, together with Vitamins A & E and the breakthrough ingredients-PurCellin Oil. If you are not aware, PurCellin Oil is the reasons that it doesnt leave the skin a greasy feeling.

Based on Dermatological Research, Hamburg, Germany, 92% of the subjects showed an improvement in the appearance of their scars just after 8 weeks. I've personally used Bio-Oil pretty often when i have scars, and i can confidently say that it does minimise, reduce and lighten scars. For best results, you may need to massage the area in circular motion twice daily for a minimum of 3 months.
