We all have those dreaded, unfortunate stretch marks. Even though I haven’t had a baby, I was “blessed” with some nasty bright white stretch marks across my hips when I hit my growth spurt as a pre-teen. Lucky for me they haven’t been too noticeable over the years unless you look closely at the area or know they are already there, but as it goes for a lot of us women, even knowing it is there can be disheartening, especially when it comes to bathing suit season!
Luckily, there is a way to fade those marks and make them appear less noticeable (even if they happen to be very pronounced!) I recently got to try out BON Nourishing oil which claims to do just that. This fantastic oil contains avocado, vitamin E (which has been shown to be amazing for moisturizing skin, hair, and nails), grape seed oil, and rose hip oil to supply the skin with maximum moisture, as well as repair, and nourish the skin too. What you won’t find in BON Nourishing oil is harmful ingredients including parabens, colorants, preservatives, or BHT. It is completely Natural, effective, vegan, and is also not tested on animals either.
Because this oil is so great at moisturizing the skin, it works amazingly well at reducing the visibility of existing stretch marks by adding moisture to the skin as well as improving the elasticity of the skin in that area. In fact, if you happen to be pregnant, BON oil can be a fabulous preventive oil you can start using right away to keep those stretch marks from even forming in the first place! It’s super easy to use, just massage into the skin for about 5 minutes, morning and night (best to use after a shower or bath). The massage in combination with this incredibly innovative oil will increase blood flow as well as tighten up and firm the skin and improve elasticity, to assist in further prevention of stretch marks.
I got to try my BON oil out on my stretch marks for the last month and have been pleasantly surprised by the results. Not only is it incredibly soothing to the skin and thanks to the massage, makes my skin look and feel healthy as well as gives it a nice glow, but my stretch marks have seemed less noticeable too! The color also seems to have blended in with my skin better as well.
What I loved using most about this oil (besides the fact that it really does make those awful stretch marks less noticeable!) is that it made my skin feel so soft and moisturized. I noticed this right away, after only a couple of uses! The oil is quickly absorbed into the skin (especially when you’re helping to massage it into the skin). It also doesn’t leave any greasy residue either and you can put your clothes back on right away and won’t have any oil rubbing off onto your clothing! It has a nice pleasant natural scent as well, and is easily spread across the skin, making it easy to massage into the skin.
You don’t have to take my word for it though. In a recent study done at the Derma Institute in Germany, both at 14 and 28 days of treatment, 90% of the study participants noticed improved skin elasticity as well as increased skin firmness by the time the trial was over. Many of the participants commented on noticing how much softer and smoother their skin felt and that their stretch marks seemed less visible.
Not only can you use BON oil to fade and minimize those nasty, super visible, stretch marks, but this oil also has a TON of different wonderful uses! You can also use it in the same fashion to reduce the appearance of scars too. (In fact 70% of subjects in a recent trial noticed improvement of their scars within 12 weeks of using BON oil!) Not only does it work great for making those scars less noticeable, but it can also help with the annoying itching of scars you often find, thanks to the soothing moisturizing ingredients found in this super hydrating oil. It also works great for softening the feel of the scar, making the texture more uniform with the rest of your skin, and it can also decrease the tight feel of the scar as well too, bringing you some relief!
BON oil also obviously makes a fabulous massage oil, as well as a great face and body moisturizer (especially for those super tight and dry areas of the skin like your elbows and heels!) It works great at protecting the skin from the sun and other harsh environmental pollutants your skin comes in contact with on a daily basis. And thanks to its ability to help improve the elasticity of the skin, it works amazingly well as an anti-aging moisturizer too! With continued use, you will find that it works to minimize fine lines and wrinkles as well as even out skin tone. BON oil also works great for moisturizing dry hair and nails too!
Along with using my BON oil for my stretch marks over the last month, I also used it as a facial moisturizer day and night, as well as applied it to the tips of my dry hair every other night (You can also use it on the scalp if you happen to suffer from dry, itchy scalp), and to my cuticles nightly as well. I found this oil to be incredibly hydrating on the skin, hair, and nails. It makes everything feel smoother and softer too! I loved that my skin soaked it up right away and it didn’t leave my skin feeling oily. I just applied a few drops to my hands and smoothed and massaged over my face until I felt my skin soak it up, which was usually only a few minutes. I also really loved applying it to my hair as I have super dry hair and lots of split ends. It made my hair feel amazingly soft and it looked so much healthier and more moisturized during the month of using my BON oil too! I loved using it as a treatment for my cuticles too and found that my nails are growing longer and stronger and I’m not getting any hang nails either (which I unfortunately tend to get pretty often!)
As you can see here, this really is a great little all-in-one oil you can find so many uses for! Thanks to only needing a few drops (a little goes a long way) this bottle will last you months too! Even if you’re using it for all sorts of different ailments like the ones I’ve mentioned above!
I’ve been extremely pleased with the results my skin, hair, nails, and stretch marks have seen using this super lightweight oil frequently. The biggest difference I noticed right away is how much softer and smoother it has made everything feel. It also leaves a really fabulous, healthy glow to the skin too! I loved using it under my makeup in the morning because It really seemed to wake up my skin and leave it looking and feeling so radiant. I also am completely addicted to how shiny, smooth, and soft it has made my super dry hair look and feel. I also am of course, absolutely ecstatic that I’ve seen results with my stretch marks while using my BON oil too, and those ugly marks have become less noticeable and have also seemed to blend with the color of my skin better lately too!

Since serums and oils have become so popular, I’ve gotten different samples and full size bottles of oils and serums and like the way they work. I would use this one on my skin to help diminish marks and scars and my hands and nails.
