Gesterkamp reserves moments to appreciate her body—stretch marks, scars, and all—and nourish her skin. A makeup artist friend introduced her to Bio-Oil Skincare Oil, a lightweight oil she uses to help bring down inflammation and excess pigmentation on her marks. “I’m definitely okay with them being there, they just don’t have to be as in-your-face, which is where Bio-Oil helps,” she says.
The oil contains vitamins A and E, which can help rebuild collagen according to cosmetic biochemist
Stacey Steinmetz. It also contains soothing and softening lavender and rosemary oils. The blend ultimately leaves Gesterkamp’s skin feeling extra soft and looking its healthiest.
