Some of our favourite body oils....

Why can't all humans be blessed with a coat of gorgeous fluffy wool such as myself?? Instead they have all of their skin exposed like one of those crazy Chinese crested dogs...hmmm when all that skin is exposed good products are very important. I think body oils are a great way to take care of the skin in winter and summer and I will take a look at some of my favourite.

My all time favourite is NUXE Paris; Huile Prodigieuse which comes in a plain oil and also one with bits of gold. The clear one is perfect for everyday, it has a wonderful frangrance and is very nourishing. Miss Carls notices her skin looks and feels alot more even and smooth when using it. She also has used it overnight onher face to see very nice results. The Huile Prodigieuse OR which is the one with the tiny gold specks is a summer must and also perfect for a night out, if you are feeling a bit pale and don't have time for fake tan or don't like the smell of it this oil is perfect, it gives you a gorgeous light golden glow, is also great for disguising cellulite or any lumps and bumps on the beach. Another great part of these oils is that they contain 98.8% and 95.9% natural oils.
Price: £27.50 for the plain and £37 for the gold. Both were purchased from Space NK.... (they last a long time and are so luxurious) 100ml

Most beautiful fragrance Diptyque Satin oil from the 34 Boulevard Saint Germain range... it is a new oil.. the texture is very light but nourishing, it sprays and then just glides on and the fragrance is just amazing, the main scent seems to be Jasmin.
Price: £37 Space NK 100ml

Best for Scars and Stretchmarks Bio oil is good to use to massage into areas of uneven skin, but we have found it to be particularly good for scarring or stretch marks.. It doesn't smell as luxurious as the others so we would recommend using it at night, as it is also a bit too oily to use in the daytime.
Price: £20 Boots 200ml

Most luxurious Elemis Exotic Frangipani Monoi; Moisture Melt. We have been lucky enough to have received this one as a gift with purchase. It is a great one to use for a sensual massage or to give your skin a really special treat. It is actually in the bottle in solid form and needs to be heated up under a warm tap or in some warm water, the scent and texture are really divine.
Price:  apx £29 100ml


All of these oils except for the bio oil can also be used in the hair as a conditioning treatment which you leave in or can be used to tame frizz or create gloss.

Please try to avoid products that contain mineral oil at all costs as it is not good for your skin! It is actually the by product that is produced from the distillation of gasoline from crude oil. It is very cheap for companies to buy so that is why it is used in so many of the more inexpensive products. It is very hard to avoid as it is in so many products, but if that is the main ingredient in a product it is best to avoid it.
