The 10 Best Hydrating Dry Body Oils for Ultra-Glowing Nourished and Protected Skin
Don’t let the summer dry you out. Instead, turn to these products for that much-needed spritz of summer hydration.
While the humid, summer air and body oils may seem an unlikely pair, a dry body oil or mist may be exactly what your skin needs as temperatures continue to rise this season. Unlike normal body oils that are better suited for the cold, winter months, dry body oils are actually a perfect quick-fix elixir for glow-enhanced, silky skin throughout the summer. Best applied directly after a shower, especially a post-beach day shower, spray these products onto your skin and allow it to soak up those antioxidants to keep your skin nourished and protected. From noncomedogenic grape-seed oil to algae and seaweed-infused products, turn to L’OFFICIEL’s picks of the top 10 hydrating dry body oils that offer a higher percentage of low-viscosity oils to give you that lightweight spritz of moisture during the summer months.
Avoiding the undesired oily feeling of normal body oils, better suited to the winter months, Jo Malone London’s Velvet Rose & Oud Dry Body Oil is a feather-light oil that absorbs instantly.
