The Best Body Oils to Cure Your Reptilian Skin This Season
- 1/17
Glossier Body Hero Dry-Touch Oil Mist
I’ve been a fan of Glossier's Body Hero lotion since it launched, but when it's really cold all I want is some oil. Like its older sister, the Dry-Touch Oil's packaging is cool and expensive-looking, and it makes me smile every time I see it in my bathroom. The formula is super lightweight since it’s a dry oil, but it feels really nourishing and lush. My favorite part, though, is the scent; the perfect soapy neroli that makes me smell like a rich European baby. $28, Glossier. Get it now! - 2/17
Avène Skin Care Oil
This was my introduction to body oils and remains one of my favorites. It's a dry oil, so it absorbs super quickly and doesn't leave an oily residue—great if you're getting ready in a rush. It has a lovely light smell, like a very chic baby, but nothing heavy or distracting. It can also be used in your hair to add shine and tame frizz. $26, Avène. Get it now! - 3/17
Nivea Nourishing Body Oil
This is a great no-frills oil for under $20. It's made with a lightweight blend of avocado and macadamia oils that absorb quickly but deeply moisturize your skin. The bigger bottle also means you'll be stocked for the entire winter. $14, Amazon. Get it now! Yahoo News is better in the app

Chanel L’Huile Jasmin
Chanel. Body. Oil. Need I say more? Seriously, this floral oil smells amazing—like lush, summery fields full of jasmine—and looks luxe as hell on your bathroom shelf. At $230, it's certainly an indulgence, but think of it this way: You're basically getting a luxury perfume too. $230, Chanel. Get it now! - 5/17
Best for Eczema: Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Body Gel Oil
Both derms recommend this one for people with very dry skin or eczema. "It locks in moisture and deeply hydrates your skin," says Marmur, while Zeichner says the blend of coconut and shea butter oils are great to protect skin. Plus, the drugstore price point means you can really slather it on. $6.48, Amazon. Get it now! - 6/17
Kiehl's Creme de Corps Nourishing Dry Body Oil
If you have acne-prone skin, tread lightly and stay away from anything too heavy. Products labeled "dry oil" are your best bet, as they absorb quickly and won't leave a heavy residue. Marmur recommends the Kiehl's Creme de Corps Dry Oil or something with tea tree oil to actively fight acne (just be sure to spot-test, since it can be irritating). $34, Kiehl's. Get it now!

Neutrogena Sesame Body Oil
If you have sensitive skin, you want something hydrating but not too heavy. Marmur suggests the Neutrogena Sesame Oil since it's lightweight but still nourishing. It also has a very subtle scent that shouldn't irritate your skin. $12.47, Amazon. Get it now! - 8/17
L'Occitane Almond Smoothing and Beautifying Supple Skin Oil
This makes me think of a very chic grandma, which I consider to be the highest of compliments. It has a base of almond oil that's rich in Omega 6, which nourishes and firms your skin and gives it the scent of fresh almond cookies. It feels rich, but not sticky or gloppy. $50, L'Occitane. Get it now! - 9/17
Go-To Exceptionoil
The Exceptionoil is kind of like the hybrid of a balm and an oil. It has a more solid texture but melts instantly on your skin. Since it's heavier, it's great when your skin is really dry and you want something to linger, or it's good for targeting rough spots like elbows, knees, and cuticles. Plus, it smells like fresh jasmine. $39, Go-to. Get it now! Yahoo News is better in the app

Kjaer Weis Body Oil
Besides the fact that the bottle looks like a literal work of art, this is a really beautiful formula if you're looking for an all-natural option. It sinks into your skin quickly, contains moringa oil and ginkgo biloba to help fight signs of aging, and has a lovely light citrus scent. $125, Kjaer Weis. Get it now! - 11/17
Tom Ford Soleil Blanc Shimmering Body Oil
If body oils are the Mercedes of moisturizing, shimmer body oils are the Rolls Royce. This one in particular makes me feel incredibly fancy and smells like the most expensive beach resort I can imagine. I like to save it for special occasions, and use it as decor on my bookshelf in the meantime. $34, Tom Ford. Get it now! - 12/17
OUAI Rose Hair & Body Oil
This smells like a bouquet of fresh roses and can be used on both your hair and body. I love that it comes in a plastic spray bottle and is multi-use, so it's perfect to toss in a travel bag or purse. While I find it super lightweight on my body, I like to use it only on the ends of my hair, otherwise it can feel a little weighed down. $32, Ouai. Get it now! Yahoo News is better in the app

Jordan Samuel Skin Olio Per Il Corpo
This oil, which is made with a mix of grapeseed oil and broccoli seed oil, interestingly smells like juicy oranges and sunshine. The only thing that has gotten me through winter is slapping this on, playing the Call Me By Your Name soundtrack, and imagining I'm somewhere in the Italian countryside. $32, Jordan Samuel Skin. Get it now! - 14/17
Johnson’s Baby Oil
I am not a mom nor do I plan on being one anytime soon, but I'm a sucker for baby products. Because this one is so cheap, I like to add a generous amount to the water when I take a bath, and then reapply it on when I get out. If you're prone to body acne, I would steer clear of it, though, since it's pretty much straight mineral oil (which can clog pores), but if you have dry skin, it's really great to seal in moisture. $3.99, Target. Get it now! - 15/17
Marine + Vine Tahitian Oil
This Tahitian oil isn't only perfect because of its tropical, beachy scent. It features a blend of kukui, macadamia, and passion fruit oils that are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and fatty acids—meaning, it goes to work to both repair your skin and protect it. $62, Marine + Vine.

Bio-Oil Skincare Oil
This dry oil—which contains vitamins A and E, calendula, lavender, rosemary, and chamomile oils—has been a cult favorite for fading scars and stretch marks for years. It feels like nothing on your skin, yet leaves it soft and glowing. $10, Bio-Oil. Get it now!
