Summer Spotlight: Body Oil
During cold winter months, I’m a huge fan of super-rich body creams. I love the comforting feeling that body butter provides against the dry winter air. Now that we’ve entered the hot (and so very humid) days of summer, I find that substituting a body oil is a great option to provide hydration that feels lightweight on the skin.
Maya Chia - The Revitalizer, Beautifying Body Oil
This is one of the first body oils I’ve ever religiously used, and I’m still infatuated with it to this day! The ingredients list is packed with clean, nutrient-rich superfoods that provide essential omega fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins. It’s fast-absorbing and truly feels luxurious on the skin with moisture that locks in for 24 hours. May I add, the scent is also heavenly! All of the fragrance of this product comes from natural ingredients, which make it smell fresh rather than perfume-y.
Augustinus Bader – The Body Oil
In true Augustinus Bader fashion, this is body oil that does it all. No exaggeration here - the key benefits range from hydrating and nourishing the skin all the way to improving the appearance of cellulite, stretch marks, and pigmentation. The astounding results that are yielded from Augustinus Bader products are made possible through the star ingredient (TFC8), which supports cellular renewal and guides key ingredients to the cells. From the body, to face, to lips - Augustinus Bader has never made a product that is anything short of extraordinary.
Supergoop- Glow Oil with SPF 50
You already know we can’t have a conversation about skincare without sunscreen making an appearance! One of the things I truly admire about Supergoop is that they make SPF enjoyable to use. You wouldn’t even know there’s SPF in Glow Oil! The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly with zero greasy feelings. It just feels like a luxurious silky oil, but with the added benefit of broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Nuxe - Huile Prodigieuse® Or Multi-Purpose Dry Oil
I’ve been obsessed with Nuxe Dry Oil ever since we started carrying the brand again. It’s one of the products I keep on my vanity year-round! Everything from the nourishing ingredients to the legendary scent and beautiful packaging puts this dry oil on the list of products I never want to be without. When it was time to reorder, I spotted the illuminating dry oil and knew we had to carry it. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed. It carries the same gorgeous scent and texture as the original but adds a sheen to the skin that gleams beautifully in the sun. You’ll be reaching for this one all summer long.
Pro tip: For best application and absorption, use body oils on damp skin! Your skin will thank you!
