BODY OIL TO THE RESCUE

Explore the benefits of using 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.

 

HOW DOES BODY OIL WORK?

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 doesn’t contain Vitamin A. NIVEA’s 7 in 1 Firming + Even Body Oil has been 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. The skin compatibility has been dermatologically approved.

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’ve hopped out of the shower. You’ll 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 the NIVEA Q10 + Firming Argan Oil which contains argan oil which is also effective for treating stretch marks.
