Body Oil vs Body Lotion

Body oil and body lotion are not interchangeable — they layer best together.

Lotion first

Lotion spreads easily and hydrates large areas. Shop lotions.

Oil to seal

Oil helps reduce the feeling of moisture evaporating after a shower. Shop body oils.

When to pick which

• Quick everyday soft feel → lotion
• Very dry air / winter → lotion then oil
• Want scent that lasts on skin → scented body oil after damp-skin application

See Winter Skin Rescue for seasonal layering.
