Which body oil suits me?

In the world of body care, the motto is increasingly: “Treat your body like your face.” In other words: Optimize your body care with the best ingredients from your facial care! For a long time, innovative powerful ingredients were mainly used in facial care. But why shouldn’t your body skin also benefit from these high-performance ingredients? Nowadays, many body care products are formulated with protective, collagen-stimulating, and skin-firming ingredients. What is good for facial skin can also benefit body skin!

Body oils with powerful ingredients from facial care

Bakuchiol

The mild alternative to retinol is a natural powerful ingredient. Bakuchiol supports the development of the skin’s own collagen system and is particularly well tolerated. It also balances the skin tone.

Plant-based Squalane

Can naturally protect your skin from moisture loss. It absorbs quickly and helps keep your skin elastic and smooth.

Plant oils help moisture and water bead off the skin’s surface, protecting the skin from drying out. Their valuable ingredients such as vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids benefit your skin in several ways. Also, regular massaging with rich plant oils can improve skin elasticity and make the skin supple and soft.

Each plant oil has important beauty properties due to its special nutrient composition, which can positively affect the skin. Natural plant oils are rich in vitamins and antioxidants that can nourish the skin and protect it from harmful environmental influences. Antioxidants help neutralise free radicals that can damage skin cells. For oily skin, light, non-greasy oils like Inca nut oil, found in our Beauty Body Oil are suitable.

How body oil works on your skin

Which oils absorb quickly?

High-quality plant oils such as organic almond oil and shea oil absorb quickly into the skin. These oils are usually easily absorbed by the skin, especially when applied to damp skin. They have a light texture, are non-comedogenic (i.e., they do not clog pores), and do not leave an unpleasant greasy film on the skin. Our lavera body oils also absorb quickly.

Plant oils suitable as body oils

Organic sunflower oil: This oil is very popular in natural cosmetics because it is suitable for sensitive and delicate skin. This oil can improve your skin moisture and provide your skin with extra care.

Shea oil: The pale yellow to golden oil is rich in oleic and stearic acid. it spreads quickly and is easily absorbed by your skin. Thus, it ensures a smooth skin feel. Shea oil improves the elasticity of your skin and protects it from drying out.

Organic soy oil: The mild skin care oil is a real multitasker and one of the most valuable oils in skin care. It has a soothing effect and preserves your skin moisture. The fast-absorbing oil contains many vitamins (e.g., vitamin E), minerals, fatty acids and sterols.

Inca nut oil: The fast-absorbing Inca nut oil is very suitable for the care of inflammatory, dry and mature skin. The contained a-linolenic acid has a strong cell-regenerating and activating effect. Thus, the oil can increase skin elasticity. it also provides your skin with valuable moisture and strengthens the skin’s balance.

For dry skin, a pampering and deeply nourishing body oil can complement your beauty routine as an additional care. When purchasing your body oil, make sure it contains many high-quality and replenishing plant oils.

A true classic for dry skin is organic almond oil. It is one of the most valuable oil in skin care. With its nourishing and moisture-preserving properties, it can increase your skin’s resilience. Another advantage: The mild oil is also very well tolerated by sensitive skin. Other recommended oils for dry skin are Abyssinian oil (rich in unsaturated fatty acids), organic sunflower oil (also well tolerated by sensitive skin), and organic soy oil.

Which body oil is best for mature skin?

Does body oil and anti-ageing fit together? Yes! Mature skin requires special attention as it often becomes drier and thinner with age and loses elasticity. Luxurious care in the form of a body oil is therefore just right for mature skin!

Pamper mature skin with a body oil that is rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids. With a good body oil, you can counteract natural skin ageing and reduce its signs. Valuable shea oil, for example, provides mature skin with intensive care, protects it from drying out, and makes it supple. It prevents moisture loss and improves the elasticity of mature skin. Valuable organic Inca nut oil also cares for mature skin particularly well. It can also contribute to more elasticity and thus to a radiant and healthy-looking skin appearance. The contained a-linolenic acid has a cell-activating and regenerating effect.

These oils firm the skin best: Organic Inca Nut Oil, Shea Oil, Almond Oil and Jojoba Oil

Plant extracts can also usefully complement body oils for mature skin. Particularly valuable ingredients include bakuchiol (natural retinol alternative) and plant-based squalane (keeps your skin elastic and smooth). These powerful ingredients for mature skin are complemented, for example, by organic cranberry extracts, which are rich in antioxidants and can protect against free radicals. If you look for these ingredients, you’ll quickly find the best body oil for mature skin!

How to properly apply our Beauty Body Oil

Apply thinly and gently massage into damp skin. The body oil can be mixed with all our body lotions. For very dry skin, simply add a few drops of oil to the lavera lotion of your choice.
