Few beauty rituals are as indulgent as a slather of body oil after a hot shower or long bath. Not only will it nourish dry, scaly limbs, but you can tailor it to suit your mood – think uplifting citrus scents in the morning, or calming lavender before bed.
Oils are also a great option if the skin on your body is overly dry or sensitive. Sometimes, water-based lotions just aren't rich enough, whereas an oil will provide the skin with long-lasting, serious nourishment.
Given we have transitioned into the coldest months of the year, we thought it was a great time to curate some of our favourites – all clean, natural and The Green Edit-approved. So if the skin south of your neck needs a little extra love this season, keep scrolling to shop the best body oils (according to us).
