The body is often overlooked in skincare, as facial products simply get more attention. This is a shame, because the skin on your body is just as important and deserves the same care as your face. Use moisturizing products at least once a day to keep your skin supple and healthy. Neglecting to do so can lead to fine lines, wrinkles, and dryness, which can also affect your well-being.
A body oil can give your skin the care it deserves.
Body oils are skincare products containing vitamins, lipids, and nutrients that improve the appearance and feel of the skin. They work just as well as lotions or moisturizers, protecting the skin from moisture loss and revitalizing it. Since the skin is the body's largest organ, gentle treatment is important to keep it soft and healthy.
Our botanical body oils with argan oil, almond oil, and apricot kernel oil are suitable for all skin types and help lock in moisture and protect the skin. They are especially beneficial for people with dry skin, eczema, or rosacea. They are ideal for dry, aging, or dull skin. They are also perfect for people who spend a lot of time in air-conditioned offices or outdoors. For oily and acne-prone skin, pure argan oil gently nourishes without fragrance while stimulating wound healing. Because it is non-comedogenic, meaning it does not clog pores, it naturally regulates sebum production.
Benefits of body oil in skin care
A typical skincare routine often only includes cleansing, toning, and moisturizing for the face. But the body also deserves more attention and care.
Body oils offer numerous benefits:
- Protects dry skin from moisture loss.
- Improves skin elasticity.
- Relaxed after a stressful day.
- Relieves redness and inflammation.
- Smoothes the skin and makes it beautifully soft.
- Improve the appearance of stretch marks and scars.
- Protects the skin from environmental influences.
A delicately scented body oil brings the spa experience to your home. A gentle massage with it relaxes and relieves stress, while nourishing and revitalizing the skin.
Body oil or body lotion?
The main difference is that body lotions are often water-based, whereas body oils don't contain water. For this reason, body oils should always be massaged onto slightly damp skin to maximize their effectiveness. Damp skin acts as a carrier, allowing the body oil to absorb more quickly without leaving a greasy film on the skin. And much less is needed, so you get more out of the product for longer.
The choice depends entirely on your personal preference or skin needs. Both products can be used alone or together to keep skin hydrated and radiant throughout the day.
- Massage onto slightly damp skin after showering or bathing. 2-3 pumps are sufficient per arm. 4-5 pumps are sufficient for legs and lower body.
- Add a few drops to your bath as a bath additive and they will provide an additional aromatic fragrance experience.
- During the colder months, a few drops of body oil mixed into your body lotion can make it more nourishing and caring.
- Mix a few drops into powder highlighter and apply to the décolleté and shoulders.
- As nail oil for cracked cuticles and hands.
Can I use body oil on my face?
We recommend not using body oils containing fragrance on your face. According to the Cosmetics Regulation, fragrances (essential oils or perfume) may be used in higher concentrations in body care products, which can irritate sensitive facial skin. Our pure argan oil is safe for use on your body and face.
If you enjoy fragrant skincare, we recommend our facial oils to pamper your skin just as much. Royal Night Serum contains a special blend of five potent active ingredients: argan oil, prickly pear seed oil, and pomegranate seed oil, as well as cranberry seed and evening primrose oil. It nourishes and regenerates dry and mature skin.
