Body oil is often associated with pregnancy and stretch mark prevention, but the benefits of body oil go beyond. The truth is, body oil is for every body and has a multitude of benefits no matter your age or stage of life.
Unlike lotions and creams, which often contain a high percentage of water and other fillers, body oil is typically made with pure, natural oils that are easily absorbed into the skin. This helps to lock in moisture and provides a protective barrier to prevent moisture loss throughout the day.
Many oils are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and fatty acids, which can help to repair and regenerate skin cells, reduce inflammation, and improve skin tone and texture.*
Here are 5 body oils we love
1. Bio-Oil
Arguably the most popular, Bio-Oil is known for its ability to improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and uneven skin tone. Formulated with a blend of natural oils, vitamins and plant extracts that help to nourish and hydrate the skin.
2. Pure Mama belly oil
Used AND endorsed by Kourtney Kardashian (Vag gumies aside, the least problematic Kardashian sister) during her recent pregnancy. An all-natural, antioxidant packed oil that has been expertly formulated to deeply nourish your growing body throughout pregnancy.
Although not pregnant, Jordy recently trialled this & noticed a marked difference in her skins hydration levels.
Don't just take our word for it, check out this before and after from the Pure Mama website.
Neutrogena's Light Sesame Body Oil is a lightweight, fast-absorbing oil that moisturizes the skin without leaving a greasy residue.
It is enriched with sesame oil, which is known for its hydrating and antioxidant properties.
Contains peptides, vitamin E and antioxidants. This oil is the MVP for a quick dry, lightweight product that will have you GLOWING.
A slightly higher pricepoint but worth it if you want to spend the money.
This is the scent Palmers are famous for, this oil is at a super afforable price point of $11.99 at Priceline.
Bethenny Frankel is a fan and we trust her with our lives tbh.
