Top 10: Best Body Oils for Dry Skin in India with Reviews, Price List

Body oils have been an integral part of the skincare regimen since the time of Cleopatra where she used body wraps loaded with natural oils to moisturize her dry skin. In harsh winters, regular moisturizers do not provide the much needed hydration to the skin and that is when the deep penetrating body oils for dry skin come into picture. Continuous exposure to harsh abrasive scrubs, pollution and sun strips our skin of the natural oils and use of body oils provide that soft nourished skin

. So here is the list of the 10 best body oils for dry skin that are available in India to buy both online and offline. You need this post if you have to dry to very dry skin.

Since oils are warm by nature, they also help in improving blood circulation which in turn reverses signs of ageing as dryness is the common cause behind early ageing! As the skin gets old, the sebaceous glands secrete less sebum due to which the skin gets drier and hence, these oils help in proving extra nourishment.

best-body-oils-for-dry-skin-in-india

One of the most luxurious oils on the list, Moroccan Oil Dry Body oil is a blend of rich argan oil, olive oil and avocado oil. It is paraben free and gets absorbed into the skin quickly due to its dry texture. The essential oils help in moisturizing the skin without making it greasy or oily. The signature Moroccan oil fragrance is very soothing and spa-like. The price is on a higher side but pure argan oil costs a fortune.

10. Neutrogena Sesame Body oil-price: 860 INR for 250 ml

This oil is something we have all seen in shops which stock imported skincare and i have always like the consistency. It is a richer oil than other very light oils but not too rich. It contains sesame oil as the label reads and the fragrance is also very calm and soothing. Only problem with this oil is that it takes time to get absorbed completely but the skin feels completely nourished and supple after usage. The quantity is also more than most of the oils so the price is worth it.

So this is my list of top body oils for dry skin. It is a common misconception that body oils are to be used only in winters and on very dry skins. These oils come with varied consistencies and ingredients. Lighter ones can be used for normal-oily skins and richer ones can be used for dry skins. These oils help in regeneration of cells of the skin and provide antioxidants which get absorbed by the skin directly. They also make the skin soft and supple. One more use of oils is that when you apply it before shaving with razor, it helps in smooth shaving and soothes the skin down which reduces the chances or nicks and cuts. These oils have been an integral part of skincare since the times of ayurveda and soothe the mind and body with the calming fragrance. They also help open the pores on the skin.

So next time when you want to treat your skin, splurge on a body oil from the list above and i am sure you will love the soft, smooth and healthy skin.
