Anoint your winter skin with the blessing of a body oil
Slather your limbs with these skin saviours
Winter skin has a mind all its own.
Regardless of how much moisturiser we seem to slather on ourselves, our skin’s thirst remains unquenched and we’re left scratching our heads, wondering which hydrator will finally do the trick and satiate our skin’s incessant need for moisture.
We know that when our skin needs a miracle, there’s only one thing to do: Douse ourselves in a protective layer of nourishing body oil and pray for some sweet relief from our perpetual dryness. Thanks to their similarity to the lipids that naturally occur in our body, it’s a no-brainer (in our opinion) to add body oils to your winter routine; they help seal in moisture and aid our skin’s best defence against dehydration – the lipid-rich protective barrier.
Without further ado, here are eight skin-saving body oils to resurrect your dry self.
