Healthy, glowing skin doesn't have to be just a summer thing. If you want to enjoy dolphin-smooth skin year-round, then elevate your regular moisturizer with a body oil that'll improve both the look and feel of your skin.

But what makes a truly superior body oil? In researching this guide, we looked for ultra-hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, easy-to-absorb formulas that won't leave your bedsheets covered in greasy oil, and of course, gentle, breakout-free products for all skin types.

Rub these body oils directly onto your roughest parts after a shower to lock in some much-needed moisture or add a drop to your favorite body lotion to enhance its moisturizing benefits. You'll keep finding new ways to use these body oils, and with fast-absorbing, residue-free formulas and heavenly scents, you'll find new reasons to love them, too.
