Bio Oil seems to be helping my Turkey Neck



Recommended Posts

Someone here...a man...recommended Bio Oil for wrinkles and saggy skin.

Have been using it for about ten days on my Turkey Neck and can see a noticeable difference! Have been putting it on after I shower in the AM, and again before bed.

Really not a big believer in "wrinkle creams"...but have been pleasantly surprised.

Figured it didn't hurt to pass this on.

And whoever told me about it...thank you! (and sorry I'm not giving you credit by name)

Edit: I've been racking my brain and I think it was James Marusek who mentioned the Bio Oil to me.

Thanks James!

Good to know. My surgery is hopefully next month. Who knows what bits and parts of me will start to sag/shrivel? My husband and I are taking bets!

It is all moving south, but if I can slow it a little. . . . . Worth it. :D

Oh @Creekimp13 that is welcome information! And I regard you as healthily sceptical (not prone to flights of “rubbing iguana earwax on your tonguecures blackheads” kinda hysteria).

With my hysterectomy scar, I wanted to test the bio oil thing. So I rubbed it on 1/2 my scar. Toss of coin which half. It seriously made that half fade very quickly. To this day, my scar still has a light/dark half!!

This New scar gets the full bio oil coverage! And now my wattle will too - when I get back from the islands... will let you know.

Ok, sold to the little lady in front with the turkey neck! So where do I find said oil in my neighborhood and does it have a smell?

About any pharmacy. Yep, it's got a smell....kinda like baby powder/shampoo...I'm not crazy about the smell, but it seems to go away pretty quick.

I've been using bio oil for the last few weeks and I also see a big difference. Thanks for sharing. It's relatively cheap too for most skin care products. I normally have really dry skin and now my face is smooth as can be.

Just the other day I've ordered a beef Gelatin derived (tasteless) Protein supplement, primarily because I can't stand the taste of even "unflavored" whey protein isolate's that I've tried, but I was happy to read that it also aids skin elasticity so should help with skin shrinking as I lose (I also consume a fair bit of chicken-derived gelatin in my Soups made with home chicken stock).

I've also started using Bio oil on my surgery scars now that they are uncovered and hope it will help.

I still expect I'm going to need some plastics once I'm at goal weight though, I carry a lot of weight on my arms and legs as well as my butt and stomach. And "the girls" will likely need at least an uplift.

There is minimal/mixed research on collagen, but I say "who cares, it's worth a shot!". Either way it adds to your Protein for the day.

Mine says it mixes with anything -liars. You have to mix it with hot liquid. I do 2 things:

1- mix collagen in hot coffee, then add a little cold almond milk to cool it down, then 1 scoop chocolate protien powder. Perfect Breakfast.

2- mix collagen in hot caffeine free tea and add ice. Cheaper than protein waters.

GNC also has a chewable hair, skin, and nails Vitamin that has collagen. I HATE chewable vitamins, but this one's not bad or expensive.

Other thing that is supposed to help skin is sugar scrubs, exfoliation increases blood flow to skin's surface.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
