4 reasons to use body oils over body lotion for nourished skin.

Let’s face it. Skin Care isn’t easy. Hundreds of products to choose from and to add on hundred different varieties of one single product. Well, the choice is never easy. But it does become a lot easier when you know what’s better than the rest, what would suit your skin type, and what works the best for you. 

Well, this blog is our ode to body oils and how they should replace your body moisturizers for good. Nope, we aren’t against moisturizers. Of course, those lightweight nourishers make your skin feel good, nourished, and moisturized. Yet body oils have an upper hand in our opinion for these 4 sole reasons. 

1. Heavier yet feels light. 

Body oils are a bit heavier compared to your body moisturizers. However, they aren’t sticky hence suitable for hot and humid days too. Despite being heavier they feel light on your skin and offer a featherlight feel to it. It doesn’t leave behind a sticky texture hence allowing you to roam freely without any irritation. 

So why body oil and not body moisturizer? You might say that body moisturizer does the same work too. So why should I switch? 

Well, the only reason is that body oil stays for long. It doesn’t replenish its moisture surge in few hours. 

2. Penetrates deep within your skin. 

Body moisturizers indeed offer nourishing skin at the top. However, it sometimes fails to penetrate deep within your skin. This is where body oil comes in. It seeps into your skin quite easily and penetrates into the layers deep within. It nourishes all the shafts underneath thereby nourishing your skin naturally. 

3. Fades the appearance of scars.

Essential body oils when applied along with moisturizers fades away the appearance of scars and blemishes. Moreover, its aroma helps you gain therapeutic benefits over mind and relaxation. 

Since body oils are derived from plants directly they have little to no side effects. They suit every skin type and are perfect for weather all year round.

4. Cold-pressed and completely natural.

Unlike body moisturizers which are formulated with hundreds of different ingredients, body oils are 100% natural. They are derived from plants to offer special benefits. They are cold-pressed and hence retain the original properties of plants. You thereby avail potent benefits of the plant throughout.
