Although moisturisers and body lotions can help improve your skin’s hydration levels, I find that there is nothing more nourishing than a natural body oil! They are so easy to apply, fast absorbing and help hydrate your skin and help keep it from from looking and feeling dry. Here are some of our favourite:
Weleda Birch Cellulite Oil
If you’re concerned with cellulite, the Weleda Birch Cellulite Oil $32.95, is a fantastic choice. Made with regenerating ingredients including Birch Leaf Extracts, Organic Ruskus and Rosemary, this oil helps promote radiant skin. It’s also formulated with natural essential oils that help to tone the skin to leave it looking supple. In an independent study conducted by dermatologists, volunteers used this Birch Cellulite Oil daily over a month. Results showed a 20% improvement in skin texture, 35% improvement in elasticity and a 21% improvement in smoothness!1
TanOrganic Moisturising Dry Oil
The TanOrganic Moisturising Dry Oil $44.95, is a great multi purpose body oil. It can be used as an after sun treatment, cuticle oil and hair mask. You can even use it to prolong the look of your fake tan or to put on over the top of your foundation for a subtle glow! This body oil is made with a nourishing blend of Argan Oil, Borage Oil and Aloe Vera. It’s a dry formula meaning that it contains no water and is very quickly absorbed into the skin. There are many ways you can apply this dry oil. You can massage into your skin after a shower, apply a few drops into your bath or mix into your foundation for a dewy skin look.
Weleda Pomegranate Regenerating Body Oil
For anyone concerned with ageing skin, the Weleda Pomegranate Regenerating Body Oil $29.95, helps to renew and protect the outer layer of the skin. It’s very soothing and leaves your skin feeling baby soft. Made with anti-ageing Pomegranate and regenerating nutrients and fatty acids, this body oil may works wonders for plumping up your skin, making it appear more elastic and supple!
Lux Aestiva Botanical Skin Oil
The Lux Aestiva Botanical Skin Oil $28.95, is housed in the most beautiful glass packaging with rose buds floating in the oil. But this oil isn’t just a pretty package! Formulated with Sweet Almond, Grapeseed and Apricot Oils, your skin will be deeply nourished with a beautiful youthful glow. This oil also has a gorgeous floral scent that smells amazing on the skin!
Necessity Bettaderm
Necessity Bettaderm $19.95, is a much lighter formulation compared to Necessity Fixaderm, making it ideal for applying all over the body as well as the face. It’s full of pure plant and nut oils to help moisturise skin, and can be used as a massage oil or in place of your regular moisturiser! This is also suitable for all skin types including those with sensitive, dry and reactive skin.
Weleda Stretch Mark Massage Oil
One of my favourite recommendations for pregnant women is the Weleda Stretch Mark Massage Oil $26.95. Stretch marks are quite common for women during pregnancy, with red marks appearing around the stomach, bottom, thighs and breasts. To help reduce the appearance of stretch marks this massage oil can be applied everyday from early pregnancy. It’s made with Almond Oil, Arnica Extract and Wheat Germ Oil that work to soothe tender, stretching skin. To use, massage into the skin in a circular motion. Use both morning and night, during and after pregnancy!
ECO. Erase Body Oil
If you have stretch marks, scars or body blemishes, the ECO. Erase Body Oil $14.95, is an ideal choice. Made with all natural ingredients including Sunflower Oil, Macadamia Oil and Hazelnut Oil, this product is designed to target body imperfections. Massage into the skin twice a day. It’s most effective when applied after showering and in an anticlockwise motion, and it may help your skin feel soft, smooth and refreshed!
Weleda Evening Primrose Age Revitalising Body Oil
The Weleda Evening Primrose Age Revitalising Body Oil $30.95, has a rich, velvety formulation that feels luxurious to apply. It’s made with moisture retaining essential fatty acids and omegas 3, 6, 7 and 9 which may help hydrate and smooth the appearance of your skin. This is another nourishing body oil, perfect for anyone with maturing skin as it uses the benefits of Sea Buckthorn, Jojoba Seed Oil and Primrose Seed Oil.
