How To Combat Dry Skin This Winter
As the temperatures drop we start to notice our skin drying out due to excessive moisture loss. This can be for a number of reasons such as harsher winds, colder temperatures, dry indoor heat, lower humidity and those extra hot showers or baths we like to take.
So this means moisturising the skin below the neck is just as important as our face. Often the skin on our bodies can be neglected due to it being hidden under layers of clothing. But as the largest organ of our bodies, it needs some love and attention over winter.
A body oil is a great way to provide this. Body oils offer unmatched hydration to strengthen our skin’s moisture barrier. Universal, almost anyone can use them.
benefits of Body Oil
Better Hydration
Body oil has the ability to sink deep into our pores and to spread evenly over the body penetrating each skin cell. For this reason, oils are often more hydrating than water based lotions. We love using pure oil blends. They contain 100% active ingredients without the use of stabilizers and high water content. Rich botanical oils will leave your skin glowing with only the good stuff.
Repairs Skin
When our skin's moisture barrier is damaged or cracked it becomes prone to redness, flaky skin, itching and that ultra uncomfortable tight feeling. Deeply hydrating, body oil helps to fill scars, remove stretch marks and reduce skin irritation. It’s especially good for people with eczema or sensitive skin.
Rest and Relaxation
Body oils that include essential oils have mental benefits too. They can reduce stress, relax and clear the mind, reduce anxiety and increase confidence. Some body oils are designed to boost various aspects of your mood. Our Hydrating Body Oil incorporates Geranium and Ylang Ylang essential oils to help reduce anxiety and fatigue, enhance concentration while balancing emotions and hormones. It’s everyday luxury in a bottle.
Non Greasy + Fast absorbing
No one wants that greasy after feel. Thankfully, most body oils use fast absorbing oils. Organic plant based ingredients like Jojoba oil have a similar molecular structure to our own skin cells so it can penetrate into our skin immediately. Our Hydrating Body Oil ingredients provide deep hydration without leaving a greasy residue. So you can apply this after your shower and still get dressed quickly.
So is body oil the right choice for me?
Whether you use an oil or a lotion, the most important thing is that you give your body the well deserved hydration that it craves. Especially during the colder months. Body oils are an easy way to boost hydration without leaving a greasy feeling. Try out our Hydrating Body Oil enriched with Rose Geranium and Ylang Ylang to offer romantic and grounding aromatherapy.
