Nourishing body oils that leave skin soft and glowing. Dry oils absorb quickly; richer oils suit very dry skin and massage.

Body oils for nourished, glowing skin

Body oils have become a favourite for anyone who wants soft, radiant skin with a touch of luxury. They nourish dry skin, leave a beautiful sheen and often carry a gorgeous scent. Modern dry oils absorb quickly without a greasy feel, so they are just as easy to use as a lotion. This collection includes dry oils, massage oils, scented body oils and specialist oils for areas such as scars and stretch marks.

Types of body oil

• Dry oils: lightweight, fast-absorbing and multi-purpose for body, face and hair.
• Nourishing oils: richer blends for very dry or mature skin.
• Aromatherapy and massage oils: with essential oils for relaxing or energising rituals.
• Shimmering oils: add a subtle glow to legs and shoulders in summer.

How to use body oil

The best time to apply body oil is straight after a shower or bath, on slightly damp skin. Warm a few drops between your palms and massage in with circular movements. Oil seals in the water on your skin, so it works especially well when skin is still moist. You can also mix a few drops into your body lotion for extra nourishment, or add oil to a warm bath.

Will a body oil stain my clothes?

Give the oil a few minutes to absorb before getting dressed. Dry oils absorb fastest, while richer oils are best applied in the evening before bed.

Frequently asked questions

Is body oil better than body lotion?

Neither is better; they work differently. Lotions add water and oil, while oils mainly seal in moisture and soften. Many people use oil on damp skin and lotion on dry days.

Can I use body oil on my face?

Only if the product says it is suitable for the face. Some dry oils are multi-purpose; others are formulated for the body only.
