Given that essentials like body washes, lotions, and butters are so readily available to purchase and use, many fall in love with skincare through a successful body care routine. But there is one category of body products that many might still be overlooking - body oil.
Culturally speaking, Indians have been no strangers to body oils, with coconut and mustard oil being a part of daily massage routines. However, the practice has yet to get too many takers among millennials and Gen Z. It could be because these pure oils can often be heavy, greasy and leave behind an unwanted scent. But, body oil formulas have been reinvented to become lightweight, less sticky and available in enticing fragrances, all the while continuing to offer deep nourishment.
