My skin is particularly prone to dryness, so my daily hydrating routine goes beyond lotion. In fact, I enjoy immersing myself in a soothing body oil post bath or shower to ensure that my skin is hydrated, healed, and smelling great. These four body oils are currently on repeat in my skincare regimen, and I’ve never felt more restored.
Wildsmith Body Oils ($71)
Part of a gorgeous collection from this English skincare brand, these elegant oils deeply nourish, hydrate, and repair. They are fragranced with 100 percent natural essential oil blends to awaken or calm, supporting the body’s circadian rhythm. Options include Vitality, infused with the rejuvenating aromas of black pepper, ginger, and cedarwood; Stillness, infused with the soothing aromas of rose geranium, lavender and roman chamomile, and Purity, offering the stimulating scents of fennel, grapefruit, and juniper. I use mine after cleansing in the shower with Hand and Body Wash ($47), an effective blend fragranced with linden, Roman chamomile, and cedarwood.
Formulary 55 Nourishing Body Oils ($30)
These reparative, fast-absorbing oils are ideal for daily use right after getting out of the bath or shower. Rich in oleic and fatty acids and antioxidant-rich rosehip and vitamin E, the oils are fast-absorbing, ultra-moisturizing, and ultra-hydrating. They are available in three enticing scents—Palo Santo & Oud, Jasmine & Marigold, and Sea Salt & Sage—and contain no phthalates, parabens, SLS, or dyes and are also cruelty-free and vegan.
Pure Fiji Dilo Restorative Body Oil ($29)
Dilo oil, an ingredient commonly used in Pure Fiji’s line of products, is exceptionally high in essential fatty acids, including oleic, linoleic, and calophyllic acids, all of which stimulate the healing process by promoting the growth of new tissue. It’s no surprise that this lightweight, fast-absorbing oil, infused with pure cold-pressed dilo oil and virgin coconut oil, is extremely soothing and restorative. Ideal for nourishing and replenishing dry skin, it strengthens the skin barrier, promotes healthy skin growth, and soothes irritation, providing deep hydration and nourishment and leaving skin smooth, refreshed, and rejuvenated.
UMM Skincare The Body Elixir Oil ($275)
This exceptionally rich and fast-absorbing elixir oil is a post-shower rejuvenating, restorative, and nourishing treatment oil. It is power packed with traditional Ayurvedic extractions of amla, bakuchiol, saffron, and ashwagandha oils. The unique antioxidant formula helps restore radiance, lighten scar pigmentation, promote cell regeneration, enable collagen production, and improve skin health for the whole body. One of the coolest parts of the oil is the 24K gold, which leave skin with radiant with a golden sheen. This oil helps slows collagen depletion, stimulates cell regeneration, and restores the skin’s elasticity. As an added bonus, it also nourishes and improves the scalp and hair health.
