By now, most of us probably have more products in our facial skincare routine than we can count, but when it comes to looking after our body… most of us lag behind!
You’ve all heard about lip oil (well, hello there FAT Lip Oil!) but have you heard of body oil? Enter our new hydration BFF: the NYX Fat Oil Body Oil.
So, what is body oil and how does it work? Read on and learn how to treat your body to an ultra luxurious and deeply hydrating experience.
What is body oil: Key takeaways
- Body oils sink in fast and mimic your skin's natural fats, helping to strengthen its barrier while locking in moisture.
- Body oils are your secret weapon against dryness, forming a protective layer over skin for long-lasting hydration.
- For an instant glow-up, NYX's Fat Oil Body Oil Suga Baddie combines avocado oil and vitamin E for a sunkissed, radiant finish.
- For best results, apply your FAT Body Oil to damp skin straight after showering; it helps lock in extra moisture as you go.
- Layer up for maximum hydration by following your oil with a FAT Body Butter, working from ankles up for soft, glowing skin all over.
- NYX's FAT Body Oil range has a scent (and shimmer) for everyone, from Juicy Boo's citrusy glow to Caramelt Mami's indulgent caramel-pistachio finish.
What is body oil?
First things first: what is body oil?
Body oils are lightweight, nourishing oils that are used to moisturise parts of the body. Unlike lotions, body oils sink into the skin much more quickly and help to lock moisture into the skin. They do this by mimicking the natural fats present in your skin, which can help strengthen your natural barrier.
Body oils can be used alongside body butters and lotions for extra nourishment and moisture for your skin.
The benefits of body oil
Body oils have loads of benefits for skin that make them a must-add item to your skincare routine. Here’s a few of our fave body oil benefits:
- Intense hydration: Body oils lock moisture into the skin, making them perfect for long-lasting hydration on dry skin.
- Combats dryness: Thanks to their texture, body oils can form a protective layer over the skin, which helps guard against dryness.
- Improves your glow: The best body oils, like our Fat Oil Body Oil Suga Baddie, use avocado oil and vitamin E to give your skin a sunkissed golden glow.
How to use body oil
Now that you know what body oil is, let’s get down to the fun part: learning how to use body oils in your skincare routine! Here’s a simple guide for how to work our FAT Body Oils into your bodycare routine:
Step 1: Shower
Body oils are perfect for use on damp skin, so to get the most out of your FAT Oil, the first step in your routine should be a shower or bath.
After your wash, gently pat your skin until it's just about damp, to get it perfectly prepped for your body oil.
Step 2: Massage in your FAT Body Oil
Once your skin is damp, it’s time to use your FAT body oil.
Massage a generous amount of your oil into your legs, arms, and chest. Start at your ankles, and using firm circular motions with your palm, work your way up to the top of your chest, then down your arms.
Step 3: Add a FAT Lotion for even more hydration
After adding your body oil, lock in even more moisture by using one of our FAT Body Butters.
Apply Suga Baddie Fat Oil Body Butter generously to the same areas you applied your FAT body oil, starting at the ankles and working your way up. With our body oil and butter, your skin will be soft, glowing, and perfectly scented!
FInish with a fragrance mist
Top it all off with a FAT Fragrance Mist.
Mist our Suga Baddie Hair & Body Fragrance Mist over your hair and body for a lingering, dreamy scent that’s soft, sweet, and totally baddie-approved.
