Save Your Summer Skin: 14 Super Luxe Body Oils To Try

The summer can be pretty rough on your skin, whether by a mixture of chlorine, salt water, and the sun’s UV rays, or the ever-drying AC blasting in your office or home. Luckily for us, then, that when we’re looking for some serious hydration, we have our good friend body oils to turn to.

Oils have the ability to penetrate the skin deeper than the average lotion, keeping you smooth and hydrated for longer (and, thanks to their easy absorption, they won't sweat off in the heat)—making them a no-brainer during July’s awful heat wave. Aside from their practicality, I don’t think we can stress enough just how luxe it feels to slather a nutrient-rich body oil all over your dry, flaky, and maybe even burnt or peeling summer skin. It can be treated it like a DIY at-home spa treatment, because it feels that indulgent. Plus, they leave your skin with a gorgeous glow.

We rounded up 14 of the best, most luxurious body oils at all price points, because a little indulgence shouldn’t necessarily mean breaking the bank. Prepare to pamper yourself with a little TLC when trying these super-nourishing formulas.

A tip? Apply right after you get out of the shower and your skin is still on the damper side so it will absorb these oils even faster.
