Body Oils, Moisturizers, and SPF I Like Right Now
Looking for the best body oil, moisturizer, or SPF to wear all summer long? These are 5 products I’ve been absolutely LOVING right now and I would totally recommend them to any of my friends, family, or skincare clients. My goal is to get us all to have glowing skin from head to toe and these products will help us work to achieve that overall radiant and luminous glow we are looking for. Enjoy! 🧡
All these products are ones I recommend because I truly like them. These are not paid ads or paid links.
Ology Essentials: Elevate body oil
Ology essentials, my favorite CBD skincare brand has a few different body oils and lotions but I like this Elevate one the best. This anti-inflammatory body oil contains lavender, cedarwood, and grapefruit essential oils. I love this blend of oils because it, first of all, smells amazing, and second, has properties that help you have a clear complexion. CBD isolate in this body oil provides anti-redness benefits and helps reduce inflammation around breakouts.
It’s lightweight enough to use during the day but is also really nice for applying right before you go to bed.
scrub me secret: I love to exfoliate my skin with loofah gloves, a dry brush, or a salt scrub before applying body oil or body butter. This kind of exfoliation not only gets rid of dead skin but also brings a lot of circulation to the surface, helping give your skin a luminous glow.
scrub me: whipped shea butter
Light and fluffy whipped shea that provides INTENSE moisture…yes, please! I make this shea butter so I know it contains ingredients that we can trust. This product is a blend of mostly raw shea and a small amount of coconut oil. When these oils are tempered and then whipped together it creates a really luxurious body butter that your skin absorbs deeply. The shea butter has the ability to give the skin moisture and lock it in so it doesn’t dry out later. The coconut oil gives the product a silky feel and gives your skin a radiant glow.
A little of the product goes a long way; the whipped butter turns into a moisturizing oil upon application. This body butter is best to put on right after a shower or bath so it can absorb deeply. But feel free to use it at any time you desire!
Bangin Body: Illuminating Firming Lotion
A lotion that’s going to make you want to show some skin! I love this illuminating lotion because it’s a great texture and has a gold pigment that gives the skin a really nice shimmer. The ingredients in this product are also great; it’s free of parabens, sulfates, GMOs, mineral oils, chemical UV filters, petrolatum, and synthetic color. It also contains non-pore clogging, vitamin-rich oils, and coffee bean extract. Sapphire pigment is how this lotion gets its gold shimmer.
This lotion is a hydrating feeling product with a subtle golden glow so I like to use it when I want my skin to look really radiant and glowy. It’s nice for a date or a night out.
scrub me secret: I have a secret for firm and glowy-looking arms, legs, & whatever else for when you’re going to a pool party, beach hang, boat party, etc. this summer. Apply the bangin body illuminating firming lotion and let it set it for about 10 minutes. Then grab an SPF mist, like the one I’m listing below, and mist yourself all over. Use your hand to gently pat in the SPF mist (pat and press with your hands, don’t rub). See the gloww.
alba botanica: fragrance-free SPF mist
alba botanica is a sunscreen/body lotion line I came across while shopping at Whole Foods. I always love to find a fragrance-free SPF mist. I find that fragrance and perfume can irritate the skin and so many SPFs have that ingredient. This product is a broad-spectrum protectant that provides you with defense against both the burning and aging sun rays. It’s a nice texture, coats the skin well, and is really easy to reapply.
This is the perfect SPF to take with you when you’ll be out and about for the day. Reapply every 2 hours to avoid burning and UV damage. I know I’ll be taking this one out with me this weekend!
Kinfield: Sunglow SPF 30
Okay so this product is intended to be used for the face but I bought it a few weeks ago and started using it on my arms and legs and now I’m obsessed. It’s like the perfect blend of a sunscreen, lotion, and self- tanner. It gives your skin the appearance of having a light spray tan. I also love it because it’s a mineral SPF that doesn’t have any white cast at all. If you like to have a tan but also want to protect your skin from the sun this is a perfect choice.
I like to get dressed in my outfit and then apply this lotion to my arms, legs, and decolletage. Let it soak in for a couple of minutes before doing anything to help it soak in (to prevent it from rubbing off). It doesn’t leave any streaks and washes off easily in the shower.
scrub me secret: PCA hydrator plus is my go-to SPF to start my day with for my face and neck. I love the lightweight but hydrating texture of this product so much that I often use it for my body as well.
