No one should feel ashamed of their scars but Bio Oil understand that so many women do. I have hidden my own scars plenty of times. This really isn’t something that I should have to do though, or feel like I should do. The people at Bio Oil feel the same way and have come up with the fabulous #scarsuncovered campaign.
My body has changed a lot since being a teenager. I have plenty of stretchmarks on my stomach, boobs and arms. Now aged 30, I have had a baby who was born via emergency c-section. I have scars on my arms from stupidly burning myself on the oven. Some scars I don’t care about showing off at all.
Recently, I have been more and more aware of the scars that having my daughter has left. An emergency c-section and then a second surgery a week later has left me with a terrible scar on my stomach. Honestly, I hate it. I go as far as to hide it from my husband a lot of the time, unless I need him to check on it because it gets infected still.
The #scarsuncovered campaign and Bio Oil are making me feel better about my body and my scars. Bio-Oil is a specialist skincare oil that helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone.
.It’s shocking that 60% of women feel like they need to hide scars under clothing. It’s so nice to know that I’m not alone. However, my scar gave me my beautiful daughter so why am I so ashamed of it?! Thanks to Bio Oil, I’m slowly coming to terms with what I have! I know my c-section scar will never go away but I can at least try to make it a bit better, even if just to put my mind at ease a bit.
I have a wonderful opportunity to give away three 60ml bottles of Bio Oil worth £8.99 each. The winners will be drawn at random on 7th September. Use the Rafflecopter giveaway below to enter, and good luck!

I’ve heard really good things about this oil. I too am scarred from pregnancy (but not the same as you) and I am embarrassed about it.
I have a scar on my knee that I got when I was 3 months old, it is one of those things that I am still slightly uncomfortable about. I know people are not staring at my scar but my confidence takes a dive so I would definitely love to try Bio oil and see.
Although i’ve never tried this, I have heard lots of positive feedback.
Anything that helps boost confidence is a good thing, thanks for sharing x
I love Bio Oil. I think it’s a great body oil. I use it a lot.
I have a scar going down my leg from when I collapsed several months ago, fell from a height and cut my leg open on a sharp point and I used to cover it up and now I am comfortable with it. I use Bio Oil.
I’m very lucky in that I didn’t get stretchmarks with either of my boys but my sister got them and she hates her stomach so much. She uses Bio Oil to try & reduce them
I love bio oil! Used it all through my pregnancy and my skin was so smooth! Entered the give away x
I love Bio oil. I’ve sworn by this for years and years. It’s absolutely brilliant. x
I love Bio oil and used it during my first pregnancy
