Too often body oil is overlooked as a moisturizing solution to dry skin. It is categorized as part of an aromatherapy or massage treatment or something used to soften a baby’s chafe bottom. But we too can reap the benefits of this skin soother, especially those oils enriched with the antioxidant, vitamin E. My all-time favorite body oil at the moment is Burt’s Bees Apricot Body Oil, $9-$14. With the sweet aroma of apricot, this 98% natural and noutishing body oil includes apricot kernel oil, grapeseed oil, wheat germ oil, vitamin E and rosemary extract. Add to a warm bath or apply to excessively dry areas like the elbows, knees and heels of the feet.
