Best Body Oils

Shoppers Choice:

Neutrogena Lightweight Body Oil

Highlights: Light sesame oil formula provides nourishment for dry skin; help maintain skin’s essential moisture without the heavy feeling of lotion; instantly vanishes into shower-damp skin, sealing in moisture

“This works great for me. I would never have tried body oil, but it was given to me by a friend, so there was nothing to lose if I didn’t like it. I’ve had to experiment a bit to find the best system. I apply somewhat more than the “few drops” they instruct you to use, but I’d definitely recommend starting with a very small amount, because it’s easy to go overboard. That being said, when used right it’s actually less greasy than almost any lotion I’ve ever tried, and lasts much longer. I swear it even makes my skin softer over time, especially places like my elbows that tend to be dryer. The most important thing — and I cannot emphasize this enough — is to apply it *immediately* after you shower. I’m talking practically the instant your feet hit the bath mat, while you’re still sopping wet. Do not pass ‘go’; do not collect 200 dollars. Go directly to slapping this stuff on. Then take a minute to squeeze the water out of your hair with the towel or push back your cuticles or whatever, then pat dry. Done. Everybody’s different, of course, but for me it’s a winner.” – Sarah

“The Neutrogena body oil is a classic go-to, especially in the winter. While my skin is still damp after showering, I smooth some all over my legs and anywhere else that really needs it, elbows, back… and it locks in moisture better than most lotions. I enjoy the sesame scent but not everyone does, so the fragrance-free version is perfect for them! You can even use it to shave instead of shaving gel!”Morgan
