WHEN it comes to skincare, the focus is almost always on our face with a plethora of products and routines available, but what about the rest of our body?
Moisturise and move on? Not anymore! Our skin is the largest organ we have and more often than not we tend to take it for granted until it begins showing signs we don’t like, ageing, dullness, dry skin etc. A comprehensive skincare routine will usually include a combination of cleansers, toners, moisturisers and creams, however when it comes to the rest of our bodies, most people will simply moisturise and move on, focusing more on the face.
We have decided to add a new addition to the body care routine, to help our customers give their skin a little extra love and attention to improve their skin quality and achieve firmer, younger looking skin all over!
What are exactly body oils?
Body oils are quickly becoming a popular and crucial step in skincare routines thanks to their ability to, not only nourish and moisturise the skin, but also reduce fine lines and wrinkles, leaving the skin with a lovely healthy glow. A good body oil will be an all over treatment that helps to penetrate the skin deep down and lock in hydration, leaving skin feeling supple, smooth, and noticeably refreshed from your toes to the tips of you fingers and everything in between often with the added benefit of a lovely natural scent.
Body oils are universal and almost anyone can use them regardless of skin type. For those with a drier skin type who are prone to eczema or rosacea can find relief with a natural organic body oil where their skin may naturally produce less oils that others, they help to lock in and retain moisture whilst replacing the oils the skin may be struggling to produce. For other types of skin, the addition of nourishing body oils is just another great way to give attention to areas of the body that are often neglected. They are also a simple and effective way to upgrade your self-care routines and pamper yourself!
Body oils are also a great tool for anyone who struggles with dry skin, signs of ageing and dull skin, and are perfect for those who work in dry air-conditioned offices and buildings to those who work outdoors or in a more labour-intensive role, clearing away impurities and the days build up and providing relief and nourishment.
Benefits of body oil:
Body oils come to the rescue on so many different occasions. Have you ever added body oil to your body lotion to get that extra soothing, extra nourishing effect? Body oils have so many different benefits for the skin. The new formulations don’t feel greasy, they are built to be lightweight so you can get all the benefits without the sticky skin feeling.
Some of the many benefits to incorporating a body oil into your everyday body care and skincare routine include:
• Hydrate and moisturise dry, tired, and dehydrated skin.
• Reduce signs of ageing.
• Wind down after a long or stress filled day.
• Smooths, firms and clears the skin.
• Assists with the appearance of stretch marks, wrinkles, and scars.
• Help create a relaxed and comfortable feeling.
The addition of body oil is a great, affordable way to bring a much-needed spa-experience to your home. Simply massaging into the skin will bring instant relaxation and relieve the body of tension and the stress of the day as it absorbs in, whilst giving your skin the boost and benefits it needs to keep you looking good and feeling fresh.
How does body oil works?
Body oil soaks into the upper layers of your skin to instantly enhance its quality and your overall skin tone. The best body oils are extracted from roots, fruits, flowers and leaves and are free from nasty mineral oils. Ingredients like avocado oil, cottonseed oil and macadamia oil are instrumental for achieving firmer, even-looking and soft silky skin. Let’s explore some of the other reasons why body oil should become part of your daily body care routine.
Lock in moisture
Body oil helps to retain moisture into your skin for hours. It penetrates your skin’s protective barrier and helps maintain a radiant glow throughout the day. For increased benefits, exfoliate your skin before you apply it. Let the oil soak in for two – three minutes before getting dressed.
Actively fade your stretch marks
Stretch marks can be a bit of a nuisance. And although there isn’t a way to get rid of them completely, applying a firming body oil can dramatically reduce their appearance. If you are looking for a safe body oil to use during pregnancy, make sure you choose one that does not contain Vitamin A. Firming + Even Body Oil has enriched with macadamia oil, avocado, and cottonseed oil. This unique formula firms and evens skin tone – plus it spreads easily and smells great. This great multitasker firms skin in two weeks and reduces the appearance of stretch marks.
Save your pennies
Another great benefit of switching to a body oil is how economical it can be. A little goes a long way. Especially if you apply body oil to damp skin right after you have hopped out of the shower. You will be surprised how much a few drops will spread.
Soak up the benefits in the bath
For an extreme moisturising experience, add a few drops of your favourite body oil into a warm bath. As you soak, the body oil and bath water will gently hydrate your skin. To boost hydration, apply a few more drops of body oil to your damp skin when you hop out and enjoy silky soft skin before you relax into bed.
If you prefer a body lotion which contains natural oils try those which contains argan oil which is also effective for treating stretch marks.-Online
