Shower oil season is here and here’s what you need to indulge in

Smooth, supple, and soft—everyone's winter skin goals are pretty much the same. After all, the weather calls for it! With the drop in heat, humidity, and increase in dryness in the air, you can’t help but notice the impact it has on your skin. While tweaking your skincare routine is often talked about, body care often gets overshadowed. And, no offence to the likes of body lotions, yoghurts, and creams, but sometimes you need something to go the extra mile to nourish, protect, and hydrate your skin at a deeper level for a longer period, especially when the weather outside is a little frightful.

Shower oils gently yet effectively remove any dirt and debris, without stripping the skin of its natural oils. It is suitable for all skin types, including oily and sensitive skin.

Hydrates and Protects

Shower oils are formulated in a manner where it locks moisture into the layers of your skin. This also strengthens the skin barrier and creates a protective shield that keeps the environmental deterrents away from penetrating through your skin. If you’re one to enjoy hot water showers during winter, shower oils will prevent the heat from drying your skin out too.
