Dry skin can strike during any season and on any part of the body. In fact, even if you'd consider your complexion to be oily, there's a good chance you may still see rough spots on your arms and feet or even find that your hands are now drier than ever from diligent handwashing and hand sanitizer [1] use.
While creams and lotions [2] can help with this, body oils offer even more moisture and sometimes other benefits, too. Naturally rich in essential oils or other botanical ingredients (like CBD [3]), these add an extra dose of hydration while also offering skin-soothing properties. Many can be applied straight out of the shower [4] (while your skin is still damp) or when totally dry. Found in spray, liquid, and even stick form, these are meant to be used all over your body with some offering a treat for your face [5] and hair as well.
We looked through all the options at Sephora and read the reviews. Each one of the options ahead has earned at least a four-star average rating from other shoppers, so check out these top-rated body oils and leave ashiness in the dust.
