Your Guide to Natural Body Oils!

As the winter months are fast approaching, it’s important to keep your skin moisturised and protected. With the change in weather and exposure to heaters, skin can become dry and cracked more easily. Although moisturisers and body lotions improve your skin’s hydration levels, I find that there is nothing more nourishing than a natural body oil! They are so easy to apply, fast absorbing and prevent your skin from looking and feeling dry.

Weleda Birch Cellulite Oil

If you’re concerned with cellulite or looking for a natural way to prevent it, the Weleda Birch Cellulite Oil $32.95, is a fantastic choice. Made with regenerating ingredients including Birch Leaf Extracts, Organic Ruskus and Rosemary, this oil helps promote radiant skin. It’s also formulated with natural essential oils that may help to tone and firm the skin, leaving it looking plump and supple. In an independent study conducted by dermatologists, volunteers used this Birch Cellulite Oil daily over a month. Results showed a 20% improvement in skin texture, 35% improvement in elasticity and a 21% improvement in smoothness!¹

Weleda Pomegranate Regenerating Body Oil

Formulated with Sweet Almond, Grapeseed and Apricot Oils, your skin will be deeply nourished with a youthful glow. It may also promote skin elasticity and penetrate the the epidermis. This allows the oil to enrich your skin from a deeper level, and may also assist with inflammation and irritation. The best part? It has a gorgeous floral scent that smells amazing on the skin!

Necessity Bettaderm $19.95, is a much lighter formulation compared to Necessity Fixaderm, making it ideal for applying all over the body. It’s full of natural plant oils and can be used as a massage oil or in place of your regular moisturiser.

Weleda Stretch Mark Massage Oil

One of my favourite recommendations for pregnant women is the Weleda Stretch Mark Massage Oil $26.95. Stretch marks are quite common for women during pregnancy, with red marks appearing around the stomach, bottom, thighs and breasts. To help with the prevention of stretch marks this massage oil can be applied everyday from early pregnancy. It’s made with Almond Oil, Arnica Extract and Wheat Germ Oil that work to soothe tender, stretching skin. To use, massage into the skin in a circular motion. Use both morning and night, during and after pregnancy!
