Which body oil is better reviews

Every woman dreams of having a beautiful face and body, and having smooth, elastic skin. To do this, you need to constantly take care of it, do various cosmetic procedures, nourish and moisturize it. The most effective and easy-to-use products are natural cosmetics and essential oils.

Which body oil is best?

It is impossible to name one oil that is ideal and suitable for every woman. Everyone has different skin and different concerns, and its effectiveness will depend on your overall health and age. You also need to take into account the time of year; in winter, the skin dries and flakes, and in summer it burns easily.

The face, body, hands, feet have skin of different structure and needs, so oils are selected in combination; you should not smear yourself with one product from head to toe.

Below we present seven of the best and most famous cosmetic oils for body care, revealing their beneficial properties and main methods of use.

Olive oil for moisturizing

It can be found in every housewife's kitchen; it is a valuable nutritious product. Olive oil has long been used as a cosmetic product. It is extracted exclusively from ripe and juicy olive fruits growing in southern latitudes.

Olive oil is rich in vitamins A and D, which are necessary for healthy skin, promote its restoration and accelerate the healing of small wounds. Also contains vitamin E (slows down aging), a complex of fatty acids and minerals that prevent moisture loss and keep the skin elastic

It has a pleasant sweet aroma, the care procedure turns into pleasure!

If you decide to take olive oil straight from the kitchen cupboard, read the label. It can be refined or unrefined. Unrefined oil contains more useful substances, since it is less subject to chemical processing.

Cosmetics for the face and body of many manufacturers are made on the basis of natural olive oil.

When choosing a ready-made product, study the composition indicated on the bottle so as not to buy a cheap fake. Typically, manufacturers enrich the base oil with other components (vitamins, essential oils) for greater effectiveness.

But there should be no artificial flavors and fragrances, as well as other chemical compounds! They are added to reduce the cost of the product, since natural high-quality ingredients are not cheap.

If you choose foreign-made oil, look for the special body* marking. High-quality oil contains the ingredients olive oil* and extract (…)*.

Ways to use olive oil:

Since it is able to moisturize and retain moisture well, it is recommended to use it for those areas that are prone to severe dryness and flaking. These are the feet, elbows, palms, and décolleté area. But it can be applied to the whole body. Do this after taking a shower, when the skin is still slightly damp, with light movements of the palm.

You can use it on the face, but then you need to take refined one, as the skin on the face is thinner and there is a risk of clogging the pores.

Make a bath for your hands and nails by simply dipping them in warm oil. Keep for at least half an hour. Nails stop flaking and crumbling, peeling and irritation on the skin disappear.

Perfect for massage. To do this, you should warm it up a little, and if you take food, then add a drop of essential oils to it:

Cinnamon – causes a rush of blood and warms.

tea tree – disinfects and heals.

Grapefruit oil – tones, relieves swelling and muscle tension.

Almond body oil

It is obtained from the seeds of almond nuts; it has a specific tart aroma. Almond oil contains special oleic acid, which helps the oil penetrate into the deep layers of the skin, vitamins A and F (its deficiency leads to many skin diseases, such as acne, eczema, etc.). Has a delicate scent.

Ways to use the oil:

This oil is included in many ready-made creams and mixtures for massage. You can use it at home, in pure or enriched form.

To moisturize very problem areas, it is better to use it in combination with ready-made cream or other oils.

For massage, like other oils, it is heated. Massage until absorbed. The skin softens, becomes smooth, and smells pleasant.

For the face, take only high-quality almond oil and apply it strictly along the massage lines. It is perfectly absorbed and does not leave a greasy film, the skin breathes. To enhance the effect, you can add drop by drop:

Lavender essential oil – relieves inflammation, treats acne.

Common juniper – reduces pores, smoothes skin

Mint – tones, gives a light blush.

Grape seed oil

It is obtained in two ways - cold pressing and hot extraction from grape seeds. What is obtained by the first method is much more useful, and therefore more expensive. You need more than half a ton of these berries to get just a liter of oil. But it's worth it!

It is unique in its composition, containing several times more vitamin E than olive oil, flavonoids, valuable fatty acids, a special complex of substances that protect cells from aging and destruction. As well as the substance resveratrol, which prevents the development of cancer.

This oil has a very beneficial effect on women's skin, as it contains phytoestrogens - substances similar in structure to female hormones.

Creams created on the basis of grape seed oil have a pronounced rejuvenating effect. Even fairly deep wrinkles are smoothed out, the skin is filled with radiance and becomes elastic.

Ways to use the oil:

It is most often used for facial care, but it is also included in massage oils and nail strengthening products. You can add it to any of your usual creams, it will make it more effective, or apply it in its pure form. This should be done before bed, on thoroughly cleansed skin.

Directions for use:

Apply to the entire body or just the face. You can take a ready-made cream, or you can make it yourself, it will be no less effective.

It is also used quite often in its pure form; it does not require additional enrichment and does not clog pores.

Perfect for massage, especially useful for problematic and flaky skin.

Shea butter (karite) for the body

It is extracted from the seeds of the fruit of the shea tree (karite), which grows in Africa. There it is called the “tree of life.” It reaches an age of 300 years, and begins to bear fruit only at 20–25 years. Therefore, this oil is quite expensive, and its production is a complex process.

In appearance, it is more of a solid fat; it begins to melt on the surface of the skin and penetrate into its inner layers. Rich in a large amount of fatty acids of various compositions (stearic, palmitic, oleic, linoleic), triglycerides and carbohydrates.

The main effects it has on the skin are softening and protection from adverse external factors. In addition, this oil promotes collagen synthesis*, regenerates and rejuvenates.

Directions for use:

A huge range of cosmetics are prepared on its basis - creams, soaps, shampoos, lip balms, moisturizing lotions and emulsions. It can also be applied in its pure form after a shower, to the entire body or individual problem areas.

It does not cause allergies and can even be used to treat and moisturize children's skin. Contains vitamins B, E, magnesium, lecithin, protein, fatty acids.

Suitable for massage, the skin becomes elastic. In addition, it tones, burns excess fat and gets rid of cellulite. Its use is the main secret of the slimness of Eastern women. Slows down the growth of unwanted hair.

Jojoba oil for moisturizing

In our country they learned about it not so long ago. This exotic oil has been extracted for more than two thousand years from a bush that grows mainly in South America. It contains proteins, vitamins (especially a lot of vitamin E), and unsaturated fatty acids.

Its structure is wax. It has a very long shelf life, which also applies to products made on its basis.

I advise you not to fall for this, so as not to turn your dry skin into dehydrated one.

I tried it. I played enough quickly. The skin becomes dry. Buy a good moisturizing lotion, especially for tanned skin, which is already dry. There are no cheap miracles. The spa products that worked well for my tanned skin were a mixture of coconut oil and aloe vera gel.

I use grape seed oil. As a massage oil (I add a rich scent of lavender, lemongrass) and sometimes on the face. Shea butter didn't work. Too greasy. I rub my heels. In general, I think that natural base and essential oils should be in Armenal. But this is not a hindrance to the cream either. I apply tretinoin cream and oil and store-bought cream with spf.

I don’t understand why your oils dry out your skin? maybe something else suits someone else

For the body, almond oil is wonderful. I add a few drops of rosemary, ylang-ylang, rose, etc. to it. On vacation, after an intense tan, I only use oil! I always tan beautifully evenly and never peel off. For the face, you can also use almond oil, avocado seed oil + esters according to your skin type.

Yes, the author, but I mean good, real oil. Almond, for example, starts from 400 rubles. For 100 gr. Everything that costs 50 rubles in pharmacies is not the same at all. And good broadcasting is even more expensive.

I used peach, almond, jojoba, etc. for my face, I read a lot of information before buying all these treasures)).. I used them for my face, in winter my skin became perfect, now my skin is probably used to it, I don’t understand, but imperfections began to appear, and I stopped for a while. Try it, see for yourself, don’t be afraid, just apply it with a wet cotton pad so that the pores don’t get clogged, that worked for me.

Black Queen is absolutely right.

I'm disappointed in oils. I bought coconut oil - natural, not in Russia. I smeared it for exactly a month, then I was horrified - terribly dry skin all over my body, as if I just hadn’t smeared anything for a month ((. My whole legs are dry - my calves are peeling and itchy. Despite the fact that when I use the cream, 2-3 times is enough for me apply it a week and the skin is moisturized, and I used the oil almost every day, because I immediately noticed dryness and tried to moisturize. Then I read that the oil should be applied only to damp skin. Now I bought cocoa butter - I apply it this way, but my legs they started to peel again.

Tell me where you buy natural oils?!

Coconut oil cannot be used in its pure form on the body and face, 10% coconut oil + other oils, 100% coconut oil only on hair!

I order all my body and hair oils here (by the way, not expensive) and I really like them:
http://ru.iherb.com/acure-organics-100-certified-organic-mor​​occan-argan-oil-treatment-all-skin-types-1-oz-30-ml/3​6391?rc​ode=vcd505
After the purchase, they gave me a discount code ($10), which only applies to the first purchase on their website, so I can share with you (VCD505)
P.S all their oils are good (jojoba, coconut, shea butter, argan and all cosmetics in general), there are reviews about each product, read them!

Yeah, and then using this code the person will pay you a penalty! And 10 bucks on iHerb will give you a discount on your first order!

I completely agree about naturalness!
Natural = healthy, plus complete health!
I use unrefined coconut oil completely for the body (and also for the face, which is very convenient) - such inexpressible tenderness of the skin! Bomb!
I buy in the Egyptian Bazaar -

I used the oils for about two months. On damp skin. I bought different ones and tried them (if you count everything, it turns out a lot!). The skin on the body became silky, but after a week itching appeared (I smeared it with Argan oil). Switched to avocado. Got better. A week later, itching all over the body again. Switched to Aloe. Same picture. One evening, such scabies suddenly began, red dry spots appeared on the skin. I got scared, got into the shower and washed it off. When I got out, it felt like my skin was just being torn off. In the end, I grabbed a body wash and smeared it from head to toe (with all the silicones and parabens, so to speak). After twenty minutes there was no redness or itching! It's all gone. It just happened by hand.
After this I am afraid to anoint my body with oils. I smear myself with body milk and watch how pimples grow on my back (there weren’t any when I smeared myself with oil!). What was that??

I found a good organic oil in the Helan children's line. It has a very good and rich composition of herbs, oils and vitamins. The skin after the oil became surprisingly soft and soft, and most importantly, it looks healthy.

I use Shea butter for both my hair and body, it suits me perfectly. For hair I make masks 3 times a week and apply to problem areas of the skin. In the summer I sunbathe with it, it also protects the skin from harmful rays.
I order here

I see that everyone is smearing themselves, no matter what. You still need to improve your literacy in the use of oils. The Internet has all the necessary information. For the body you need almond and grape seed oil. Jojoba is better for the face, it is more expensive, but it is problem-free for any skin. But again, take it from a pharmacy, or something like “natural” somewhere in Egypt, Turkey and you’ll get acne and dryness and whatnot. Oils should only be taken from trusted places. Or in online stores you trust.

2 liters of water per day

I see what is being discussed above, I want to add my 5 cents: Burenka cream for hands, body and heels. It's mi-mi-mi

and my daughter, can you imagine, every time she saw an advertisement for a foot file on TV, she said to her grandmother: my mother needs this. for the New Year, my mother-in-law sends a gift, I look, and it’s a file for heels)))) it’s not for nothing that they say that advertising is for children)))))

and my daughter, can you imagine, every time she saw an advertisement for a foot file on TV, she said to her grandmother: my mother needs this. for the New Year, my mother-in-law sends a gift, I look, and it’s a file for heels)))) it’s not for nothing that they say that advertising is for children)))))

a nightmare on a stick))) it’s really better with cream. at least I like the care better than using a grinder to cut off dry skin. she is flying. ugh(

Then you will like Buryonka

thank you, I’ll ask my daughter to tell her grandmother that mom needs Burenka cream))))))

Bio Oil

Expected effect: This oil appears in many ratings as the number one skin care product and promises to cope with any problem - from dry skin to the elimination of stretch marks and wrinkles.

In fact: The oil is light, when applied to the skin there is no feeling that it is covered with a film - the skin breathes. The oil really perfectly moisturizes even the driest areas on the elbows, knees, ankles, and the effect lasts even more than a day. The skin becomes more elastic - also a fact. I didn’t like the smell of the oil—perfume-vaseline, and quite strong. The oil is well absorbed, but not particularly economical - not suitable for massage, but just right for moisturizing problem areas - too dry or prone to stretch marks.

Palmer's Cocoa Butter with Vitamin E

Expected effect: like the previous Bio Oil, this product is recommended to be used for deep moisturizing and improving skin elasticity, including for pregnant women to prevent stretch marks.

In fact: The oil is solid, but melts instantly on the skin and is easy to apply. The smell is pleasant - chocolate. It is absorbed quickly, but not completely, accumulates on the folds and folds of the skin, and can stain clothes. After application, the skin becomes smooth and velvety. This oil is a good option for use at night after a shower; it instantly soothes after scrubbing or depilation, and softens dry skin on the feet.

Oil-cream "British Rose" Body Shop

Expected effect: cream oil with rose extract and spring water promises an instant effect of moisturized and radiant skin.

In fact: I really love the scent of British rose in cosmetics - fresh and sophisticated. I was disappointed when I opened the box: there was almost no smell of the oil. However, it turned out that the scent not only reveals itself at its best on the skin, but also lasts for a long time. If applied to dry skin and not with a generous hand, the oil is perfectly absorbed and does not leave marks on clothes. As promised, the skin instantly becomes smooth and well-groomed, but this effect, unfortunately, does not last long - after a few hours the skin again requires hydration. Verdict: A great oil to apply to your skin after your morning shower.

Magnesium Skin Better You Oil

Expected effect: If you play sports or follow the recommendations of cosmetologists, then most likely you already take magnesium tablets or use a medical spray to relax muscles, eliminate swelling and improve collagen production. This shea butter, coconut oil, vitamin E and magnesium formula combines beauty skin care with skin absorption of magnesium as an alternative to pills.

In fact: the oil stings the skin a little - after the scrub I won’t use it anymore. And it also has a completely unremarkable smell, like a pharmacy. But this oil nourishes and cares really well. You need to apply it a little, otherwise you will have to rub it for a long time - it is opaque, quite dense, and white. The effect of moisturized, smooth skin lasts for a long time, and with each new use the result gets better. The oil relaxes muscles, so it can be applied before bed.

Toning oil Thai Makrut Lime Body Shop

Expected effect: Containing kaffir lime extract and nourishing marula oil, this product promises to awaken, moisturize and tighten tired skin.

In fact: massage oil - it’s pleasant to apply, but it takes a long time to be absorbed, you need to rub it intensively. The product leaves the skin feeling rested, well-groomed and renewed, especially after a bath, scrub and massage. However, the aromatic oils in its composition really tone, so I would not use this product for a beauty ritual before bed. The aroma is strong, pleasant, natural, in the best spa traditions, but after a couple of hours only a persistent trail of bitter citrus remains on the skin, which was not a particularly pleasant surprise. Verdict: a high-quality, effective product for a home spa or a trip to the sauna on a weekend.

Dry oil Nuxe Prodigieuse

Expected effect: The bestseller of the famous French manufacturer of cosmetics based on natural ingredients includes several precious oils: borage, hazelnut, macadamia, St. John's wort, chamomile and camellia for an instant effect of smooth, radiant and well-groomed skin.

In fact: The oil is very light, silky and absorbs quickly, leaving the skin soft and smooth. Leaves a fresh, unobtrusive aroma - not of a perfume, but of an expensive skincare product. The small bottle is convenient to take with you and use during the day if necessary. The product can be used not only for the skin of the body and face, but also as a hair oil. A high-quality product that is essential in your cosmetic bag for instant care of the skin of your hands, neck and décolleté, and face.
