Natural body oils have been serving humankind for thousands of years as a basic moisturizer and vital component of beauty, health, and wellness. From the ancient Egyptians - who treated themselves to anointment with oils made from fragrant herbs - to modern body scrubs at luxury spas, body oils have developed to be a staple hygiene product.
What Is Botanical Body Oil?
Botanical body oil is a formulated blend of botanical cold pressed plant oils and plant extracts known for their therapeutic value and ability to nourish the skin. Most of these kinds of oils are extracted naturally for maintaining the pure integrity of the plants. The most common of these oils used are in safflower, grapeseed, jojoba, argan, and rosehip, all of which contribute various benefits to the skin.
Benefits of Natural Body Oil
Moisturizing Properties
Among the greatest benefits of the body's natural oils is their excellent ability to moisturize. These oils help in sealing moisture, thereby keeping the skin soft and hydrated more effectively than conventional lotions as they are still in their raw form containing most antioxidants and vitamins needed for healthy skin.
Anti-aging Effects
Natural body oils are rich in antioxidants and vitamins, which are crucial in combating the signs of aging. Rosehip oil, notably high in Vitamin C, enhances collagen production and skin elasticity, thus minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Soothing Sensitive Skin
Natural body oils offer significant benefits to those with sensitive skin due to their gentle nature. These oils are typically free from harsh chemicals such as preservatives, synthetic emulsifiers and fragrances that might cause irritation.
Enhancing Mental Well-being through Aromatherapy
Botanical body oils are mostly formulated with therapeutic essential oils can help calm the mind and elevate mood. Lavender, for example, is widely recognized for its stress-relieving properties.

How to Use Natural Body Oil
Using natural body oil can significantly enhance your skin's health and appearance, but knowing the correct way to apply it is key to obtaining the best results. Here’s how you can incorporate this oil into your daily skincare routine:
-
Timing: For optimal absorption and effectiveness, apply body oil right after a shower or bath when your skin is still damp. The moisture on your skin will help the oil spread more easily and allow it to penetrate deeply, locking in that moisture to prevent dryness.
-
Application Technique: Gently pat your skin with a towel after your bath or shower, but leave it slightly damp. Avoid rubbing your skin vigorously as this can cause irritation and remove too much moisture.
-
Warming the Oil: Take a few drops of oil on your palms, rub your hands together to warm the oil slightly, which activates the natural compounds in the oil. Begin applying the oil to your legs and arms before moving to the torso, and finish with any leftover oil on areas that need extra care, like elbows and knees.
-
Spreading the Oil: Use long, sweeping motions to apply the oil, which helps stimulate circulation and ensures an even application. For areas like the shoulders and neck, use circular motions to both apply the oil and give yourself a soothing massage.
-
Quantity: Remember, a little goes a long way with natural body oil. Usually, just a few drops are sufficient to cover large areas of your body. Applying too much oil can leave your skin feeling greasy rather than moisturized. Start with a small amount, and add more if your skin absorbs the oil quickly and still feels dry.
-
Consistency: For best results, apply body oil consistently as part of your daily skincare routine. Depending on your skin type and the climate you live in, you might find that applying oil once a day is sufficient, or you might need to apply it twice - once in the morning and once in the evening.
