I’ve tried enough body oils to confidently say that I have the smooth, glistening body skin of an overfed dolphin. The right one makes you look expensive, like you casually sunbathe on a private deck in Saint-Tropez even if you rely on your searing hot city rooftop for a glow. Whether you’re after a shimmer body oil for that “just got back from vacation” look, an after shower body oil to trap in every last drop of hydration, or a body oil perfume that makes people lean in and say, “Wait — is that you?” my team and I have tested them all, so you don’t have to.
Let’s get one thing straight out of the gate: body oil vs lotion is not a real debate. Lotion is fine, functional, safe, a good soldier in the battle against ashy elbows — but body oil? Body oil is an indulgence. It’s the final step before slipping into silk pajamas. It’s how you convince your skin to stop acting like it’s the dead of winter, even if it is. And if you’re hunting for the best body oil for dry skin, one that actually absorbs instead of leaving you slick like a rotisserie chicken, I’ve got you.
