Do Body Oils Moisturize Skin?

Body oils have become famous for good reason. These oils derived from plants, nuts, and seeds mimic our skin's natural oils more closely than traditional creams or lotions. Body oils contain fatty acids, reinforcing the skin barrier and preventing moisture loss.

Applying them softens skin texture, reduces dryness, evens skin tone, and imparts a radiant glow. Body oils also allow active ingredients to penetrate more effectively.

Many are enriched with antioxidants from botanical extracts that protect against environmental damage. Unlike some lotions, pure plant oils are free of parabens, sulfate detergents, and other synthetic chemicals. But what body oils are best for hydration? Let's find out.

Spotlight on Two Nourishing Body Oils

There are tons of body oils available in the market today, but the ones that are a powerhouse of hydration and give your skin the glow, moisturization, and radiance it needs are,

Cherry Nirvana Body Oil - A fruit-powered shield against dryness using antioxidant-rich cherry oil and ultra-hydrating apricot kernel and vitamin E oils. Leaves skin petal soft.

Almond Elixir Body Oil - A nutrient-dense blend using skin-nourishing sweet almond, jojoba, and grapeseed oils. It reinforces the moisture barrier for long-lasting hydration.

The Moisture-Boosting Powers of Cherry Oil

Cherry oil, also called cherry kernel or wild cherry oil, is rich in vitamins A and E. This oil helps skin retain moisture and even texture and improves suppleness. The antioxidants in cherry oil protect against inflammation and cell damage. By boosting collagen production, it keeps skin firm and elastic over time.

Our product combines cherry oil with apricot kernel oil, which softens, calms, and hydrates skin thanks to fatty acids and vitamins A & C. Vitamin E oil locks in moisture and gives additional antioxidant capabilities. Together, they provide 24-hour hydration without clogging pores.

Why Sweet Almond Oil Reigns Supreme

Sweet almond oil has been used for centuries to nourish skin. With its high concentration of oleic and linoleic fatty acids combined with vitamins A, B, and E, this oil absorbs quickly to reinforce the moisture barrier. Almond oil boosts skin elasticity while combating inflammation, resulting in a smoother, more even complexion.

To amplify the hydration, we blended jojoba and grapeseed oils into our product. Jojoba closely resembles our skin's natural oil. Grapeseed delivers linoleic acid to reinforce the barrier and lock in hydration. This harmonizing trio leaves skin remarkably soft.

Maximize the Moisture: Tips for Using Body Oils

While body oils make moisturizing easy, following simple guidelines will help you get the most out of your cherry nirvana or almond elixir oil.

• Apply immediately after showering or bathing when pores are open and ready to receive moisture. Pat skin lightly to remove excess water first.
• Dispense a dime to quarter-sized oil into your palm, rub your hands together, and massage thoroughly into damp skin. Focus on dry areas like knees, elbows, and heels.
• Allow 5-10 minutes for complete absorption before dressing. It gives the active ingredients time to nourish skin cells fully.
• Use your body oil 3-5 times weekly or when your skin feels parched. Oils hydrate beautifully without the risk of clogging pores.
• Store your oil at room temperature, away from heat, light, and moisture, to preserve integrity. Keep away from shower steam or bath humidity.
• Consider layering your body oil after using a pure exfoliating scrub 2-3 times per week to enhance penetration. Gently buff away dead skin so the oil can be readily absorbed.
• Some oils can stain fabrics, so cover up delicate clothing, bedding, or furniture while oil soaks in. Wear older pajamas or lounge clothes right after applying.
