DIY Body Oil for Dry Winter Skin
When you think of body oil, perhaps a greasy massage comes to mind, or some otherwise well – oily – experience. But in fact, body oils added to a luxurious bath and/or applied to the skin, just after bathing (and towel drying), can be rubbed in flawlessly for a nourishing and moisturizing effect that is anything but greasy. Your skin will look healthy; not like you’re priming for the slip ‘n slide. And, you’ll find you get a much smoother result than from lotions and creams.
Taking price, time and effort into consideration – whilst not skimping on thoughtfulness – we bring you something so sublimely sweet you’ll want to rub it all over your body. And by all means, please do! This brown sugar body scrub and polish creates a sumptuous take-the-spa-home experience… and can make the perfect gift for couples with instructions on how to lovingly give your partner a sexy scrub down… not that they’ll need them.
