There are moisturizer people and body oil people. Neither is better for your skin, it just all comes down to preference. Some of the best body oils for dry skin can majorly hydrate and leave skin plump and dewy, which is especially great for warmer months when we all have more skin showing. Look for ingredients such as plant-based squalane, hyaluronic acid and vitamin E, as well as formulas that absorb quickly into skin so you can get on with your day.
Some body oils are meant to be seen with shimmery, dewy finishes. Others are safe for sensitive skin and quickly dry down. Some body oils even contain broad spectrum sunscreen so you can hydrate your skin and protect if from harmful UVA/UVB rays at the same time. Most smell incredible and turn your bathroom into a fancy spa, but some are fragrance-free for those with sensitivities to scents. There’s truly something for everyone.
