Moisturizing Body Oil

A body oil does not add water to skin, it holds in the water already there, which is why the timing matters more than the quantity. Smooth it on within a couple of minutes of stepping out of the shower, while the surface is still damp, and a few drops covers an arm. Reach for an oil rather than a butter in warm months and on days when you need to dress straight away, because it absorbs in a fraction of the time.
