10 body oils you need in your winter kit, STAT

Trust us, these guys do *everything*
It’s that time of the year again. The temperature has *officially* dropped to an annoying chill and you are now cursed with reptilian-like skin that looks dull, dry and just overtly unhappy.
While a good post-shower moisturising session may help bring it back to life, sometimes those body lotions and goopy body butters just don’t seem to cut it. And for this reason, you need to get on board the blissful world of body oils.
Body oils are hands-down the best way to lock in all that glorious moisture, and they’ll generally hydrate your skin for longer than the ol’ body lotion. That’s because oils share a similar structure to the natural lipids found in our skin (pretty cool, huh?), so they’re ideal for repairing and re-regulating your skin's moisture barrier.
If you’re one who would usually palm off body oils because you feel like they’ll turn you into a slick, greasy mess, you’ll be happy to know that today the best body oils absorb quickly and hydrate even the driest skin, AND their beauty benefits are seemingly endless - there’s something for literally *every* skin type, concern and budget.
So, whether you’re looking to simply up your hydration or prefer something with added benefits, we’ve pulled together the best body oils you need in your winter skin care routine.
