Here’s how body oils work

• All moisturizers work by sealing the skin’s surface and trapping the body’s natural water within the skin’s tissue, as oil is far more effective in sealing and moisturizing than water, the more oil your moisturizer contains the better it will work.
• DIY body oils that have been made with pure essential oils then diluted with the appropriate carrier oil won’t contain any hidden water and has to be one of the best body treatments you can use.

Best carrier oils for your body oil:

• Scars – Wheat Germ Oil
• Stretch marks – Sesame Oil
• Wrinkles – Apricot Kernel Oil or Evening Primrose Oil
• Oily skin – Safflower Oil  or Sunflower Oil
• Normal, Itchy, Sensitive skin – Sweet Almond Oil 
• Dry skin – Sweet Almond Oil or Avocado Oil
• Rough skin – Olive Oil
