Why Body Oil Is the Best Summer Skin Care Choice

Summer is a beautiful time to soak in sunshine, take beach trips, and enjoy pool days. But while you're basking in the heat, your skin is often struggling to keep up. Exposure to UV rays, high temperatures, salty sea water, and frequent showers all strip the skin of its natural moisture barrier. 

Most people instinctively reach for lotions to combat this, but here's the catch: Traditional lotions are often water-based. That water? It evaporates quickly, offering temporary relief at best. Many are also packed with synthetic fillers or feel too heavy for summer skin. So what’s the solution? 

It’s time to ditch the lotion and discover the true hero of summer skincare: body oil.

Why Body Oil Beats Lotion in Summer

As the temperature rises, your skincare routine requires a seasonal adjustment. Traditional lotions may be the go-to option, but in hot and humid weather, they often feel too heavy, sticky, or ineffective. Their water-based formulas tend to evaporate quickly, leaving your skin dry again within minutes. 

Body oil, on the other hand, provides a more efficient and refreshing solution. It nourishes deeply, locks in moisture, and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy finish. In summer, when your skin is constantly exposed to sun, heat, and water, body oil is the smarter choice for lasting hydration and a healthy glow. Here's why it works better than lotion during the warmer months.

• Mimics skin’s natural lipids: Body oils work in harmony with your skin by mimicking its natural lipids. This allows them to integrate effortlessly into the skin barrier and help replenish moisture lost due to heat and sun exposure.

• No water, no evaporation: Unlike lotions that are often water-based, body oils are free from water. This means you're getting concentrated, undiluted hydration that stays on your skin instead of evaporating quickly in the summer heat.

• Lightweight and fast-absorbing: Formulated with ingredients like MCT and squalane, body oils absorb quickly into the skin. They hydrate deeply without leaving behind any greasy or sticky residue.

• Locks in hydration post-shower or swim: When applied to damp skin, body oils effectively seal in moisture. This makes them an ideal choice for rehydrating after a shower or swim, when the skin is most vulnerable to dryness.

How to Use Body Oil in Summer (Tips + Tricks)

Getting the most from your body oil is all about timing and technique. Whether you're using it to hydrate, soothe, or add a radiant finish, how you apply it makes all the difference. Here are a few easy ways to make body oil work even better for your skin:

• Apply on damp skin post-shower to trap moisture before it evaporates, leaving your skin soft and deeply hydrated.

• Soothe post-sun skin with a gentle layer of oil to calm redness and replenish lost moisture.

• Mix with your favorite lotion if you prefer a lighter texture but still want the richness and nourishment of oil.

• Highlight naturally glowing skin by massaging oil onto shoulders, legs, and collarbones for a radiant, sun-kissed look.
  

Each method helps you get the most from your oil, turning everyday skincare into a luxurious, skin-loving ritual.

Made to Matter

When it comes to summer skincare, hydration should be more than just temporary or surface-level. With the heat, sun exposure, and time spent outdoors or in the water, your skin requires more than a light layer of lotion that fades within hours. Traditional moisturizers often contain water and fillers that evaporate quickly, leaving your skin feeling dry again soon after application. That’s why body oils offer a better solution by delivering intense, long-lasting moisture and nourishment.

Our body oils are formulated to work with your skin, not just sit on top of it. They absorb easily, help seal in hydration, and leave behind a soft, natural glow without feeling heavy or greasy. Whether you're winding down after a long beach day, soothing sun-exposed skin, or simply elevating your self-care routine, this is the kind of hydration that lasts and truly makes a difference.

Hydrate deeper. Glow naturally. Feel the difference your skin truly deserves.
