You probably know that skin-care oils have been having a moment for a while now. And that includes body oil. The newest body oils are far from messy, absorb quickly, and really lock in moisture. You can apply body oil to damp skin to help seal in moisture, and your skin will feel soft and look glowy for hours. That doesn’t mean you need to give up on body lotion and cream, but oils are a nice addition to anyone’s body-care routine. These are some of our favorite body oils:
Kiehl’s Creme de Corps Nourishing Dry Body Oil
This lightweight dry oil absorbs quickly and gives skin a velvety finish. We love that the mist format is easy-to-use and non-messy.

Oui the People Hydrating Body Gloss
If you’re all about glass skin on your face, give your body the same treatment with this oil. It contains squalane, rosehip and avocado oils to thoroughly moisturize and give your arms, legs and décolletage a glossy look.

Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Shimmering Moisture Fluid For The Body
Perfect for lathering on after your morning shower, this fluid formula has the sweet smell of coffee, vanilla bean and pear. The energizing scent that will wake you up and the sparkle-tinted formula makes skin shimmer.

Follain Instant Glow Body Oil
One of the best things about this body oil is that it comes in a spray bottle so you’ll never apply too much or worry about spilling it everywhere. This fast-absorbing formula leaves skin with a luminous sheen and is full of ten natural oils your skin will love.
Biossance Squalane + Vitamin E Shimmering Body Oil
Squalane and vitamin E help deeply nourish, while superfine mica blankets the skin with a subtle, light-reflecting shimmer.
