As the weather turns from warm to chilly, you'll probably notice your skin becoming a little dry. That's because when the air outside is cold and dry, the water in your skin evaporates more quickly, making it feel dry and look flaky — not cute! That's why it's important to keep skin healthy and hydrated.
Body oils are a perfect solution because they absorb easily and form a natural lipid barrier to lock moisture in and protect against dryness.
Want to make your own body oil? You'll only need as little as two main ingredients: An unscented "carrier" oil (which makes up most of the content of the body oil) and an essential oil to give it a pleasant aroma (you'll only need 7–10 drops per 1 oz. of oil, since essential oils are very concentrated).
A few carrier oils we recommend:
- Almond Oil
- Grape seed Oil
- Jojoba Oil
A few essential oils we recommend:
- Bergamot
- Jasmine
- Lavender
- Neroli
- Ylang Ylang
Or try your hand at a blend of essential oils!
