We love using body oils all year round because they give us a gorgeous glow and promote hydration a step beyond moisturizer. However, body oils are especially great to fold into your routine in the winter months when skin gets a bit drier, and we yearn for cozy or energizing scents to get us through the darker days. Whether you want to layer these body oils with moisturizer or wear them on their own, one thing you can definitely skip is perfume because these scents will linger long after you leave the house.
