Something we are seriously guilty of is... Not moisturising in the winter! Sure, we might be hidden away under long pants and chunky sweaters, but this doesn't mean we shouldn't nourish our skin throughout the winter months. Your skin requires maintenance, especially as you get older, and body oils are a great way to add moisture to the skin! We don't blame you for hybernating throughout winter and maybe skipping out on the shaving part, but please don't forget to moisturise! You'll thank us later!
Here are 5 beautiful body oils our team can't live without!
Cannabella La Tropica Body Oil
Canabella's La Tropica Body Oil is made with hemp seed oil, soothing aloe vera and watermelon seed. It's the perfect remedy for after-sun skincare and will leave your skin feeling supple and refreshed. We often forget about the dangers of the sun during winter, so this oil will help soothe any sun burn.
For best results, shake the bottle before use and apply to your body as needed. It is a great serum to use for both morning and night.
The Jojoba Company Calming Jojoba Oil
The Jojoba Company has a multitude of beautiful oils for the face and body. What you might not have known though, is that jojoba 'oil' isn't actually an oil. It’s the only plant to store liquid wax in its seeds so this is actually an extract and liquid wax. This wax shares the same molecular structure as the natural wax esters found in healthy human skin so it helps to mimic your skin's natural sebum, making it more receptive to vital nutrients and antioxidants, and helps to restore balance.
The Calming Jojoba Oil is formulated for the face and body and used to soothe inflamation, nourish the skin and calm redness.
If you suffer from rosacea, this oil is defintely one to invest it. It can help with red patchy skin, but it is also relaxing and calming to the mind, reducing tension and alleviating stress.
Butt Naked Rose Body Oil
The Butt Naked Rose Body Oil is great for all skin types.
With it's beautiful, lightweight formula, this body oil will hydrate, moisturise and brighten, leaving your skin soft, nourished and smelling of roses!
To use, massage a small amount of oil onto clean, damp skin.
If you happened to get caught by the disguise of the winter skies, this oil is also great for sunburn. It's also known to help make your skin clearer and reduce breakouts with its antimicrobial power.
Weleda Sea Buckthorn Body Oil
Weleda Sea Buckthorn Body Oil provides replenishing, intensive care for dry skin, keeping it soft, supple and smooth. Sea buckthorn berries are scientifically reputed to have a super-rich cocktail of antioxidant vitamins, flavonoids and essential fatty acids, helping to protect against free-radical damage that is associated with the signs of ageing.
The revitalising impulses of pure vegetable oils support the natural metabolism of the skin, help rebuilding the skin's oily mantle and regulate a healthy balance in the skin. The well-balanced composition maintains and protects intensively, including from the effects due to environmental stresses and after sunbathing. With sea buckthorn body oil the skin gains in vitality, feels noticeably smoother, is visibly strengthened and supple.
