Have you heard of body oils for super soft skin?
Body oil is a fantastic multi-tasker, but many beauty enthusiasts are only now learning about its benefits. We’re still having to retrain ourselves to remember that oil can be an excellent complement to our skin care routine, thanks to the popularity of “oil-free” products in the past. Body oils, despite their name, are usually very light, preserving and improving skin without leaving it greasy.
The fact that body oil is extremely specialized and concentrated is the most important factor that makes it a good purchase. That means that no matter what your skin type is, there’s an oil for you — and a little goes a long way!
Our LimeLife body oil, Dew Confidence, was specially developed to help firm and smooth while providing all-day moisture. It’s made with a blend of essential oils that include hazelnut, rosemary, geranium, and mint, all of which assist to tone and improve the skin’s suppleness. Hazelnut oil, in particular, is high in omega 9 and vitamin E, both of which aid in moisture retention while the light composition absorbs quickly. Check out the before and after photos below.
Different ways to use body oil
There’s something for everyone, whether you’re ready to dive right in to the advantages of body oils or just want to learn more about them.
Apply after showering & exfoliating
The most common use for body oil is as a general moisturizer. It’s best to apply it right after you get out of the shower, so the oil can absorb all of the moisture from your still-wet skin.
In the shower, use your preferred exfoliant to smooth and remove dead or dry skin cells (our Bamboo Renew polishes with walnut shell powder and a revitalizing oil blend), then lightly towel dry. Fill your palm with a tiny amount of body oil and apply it evenly over your entire body. Next, check the bottle of your body oil to see if rinsing or letting the oil soak is recommended. Allow a minute for the oil to absorb before rinsing off with Dew Confidence and stepping back in the shower for a quick rinse.
Body oil in the bath
To begin the moisturizing process, add a few drops of your body oil to the running water in the tub. Relax and enjoy the soothing scent while your skin absorbs some hydration. We’re willing to wager that your lotion won’t be able to do it!
Massage your body with body oil.
Applying body oil is a great way to add two minutes to your day. Pay careful attention to painful muscles or pressure areas rather than hurrying through it and out the door. Apply the oil on the balls of your feet, or massage the valley between your thumb and fingers with your opposite hand.
Massaging this region, according to reflexologists, may help to reduce stress and tension. We’ve noticed that simply focusing and breathing for a few minutes can have some quite astounding outcomes!
Particular attention should be paid to areas that are very dry.
As a spot treatment, use your body oil to very dry areas like your knees, elbows, heels, and cuticles. After you’ve moisturized your entire body, go back and focus on the regions that need more care. You might also want to keep a little bottle of oil by your bathroom sink to smooth your hands and nails after washing them. It’s especially important to focus on these dry areas during the dry winter months.
