5 Reasons Why Women are Switching From Lotions to Oils
By Gloria S.
Your Skin Deserves a Story, Not Just a Label!
Want to wake up to fresh, smooth, beautiful-looking skin?
Who doesn’t?
So what if you have to slather layers on layers of lotions and moisturisers that don’t have a long stay? A reapplication every few hours is no big deal, right?
Or maybe, you opted for that extremely thick, dense formulation so you don’t need to reapply all day. Smart, the only problem is you might need a blotting paper for that greasiness left behind.
In the best case scenario, you’ve found an amazing, sweet-smelling, hydrating lotion that keeps you feeling fresh and plump 24/7.
Awesome!
But what exactly are you putting on your skin? What’s the lotion made of? What’s that hard-to-pronounce ingredient and what’s it doing for your skin? Is it a mere preservative, a thickener, or an emulsifier?
Your skin deserves better. It deserves a story, not just a label.
It needs ingredients that pour love into your skin, not just complicated compounds that do less for your body and more for the product’s shelf life.
And what’s better than natural cold-pressed oils that have a naturally long shelf life without the need for preservatives and are packed with amazing benefits for your skin?
Women are Switching to This Body Oil - Here’s Why You Should Too!
1. Every Ingredient is Crucial
1. Every Ingredient is Crucial
You know what makes oils truly amazing? How no ingredient is just a filler. Since oils themselves have a long shelf life, they don’t exactly need preservatives and chemicals. No emulsifiers, no-nonsense ingredients.
Every ingredient plays a role and has found its place for a reason. This means that the benefit of your oil goes much, much beyond that of just hydration or moisturization.
For instance, Rosehip oil is a great hydrator but is also packed with Vitamin A, aka Retinoic Acid and Vitamin C. This means that it also helps fight sagginess, loose skin as well as age spots while brightening the skin.
Another amazing thing? Natural essential oils like Lavender or Patchouli, when mixed with other carrier oils, help give you a beautiful scent that lasts all day.
This substitute for “Artificial Fragrance” commonly found in lotions, has a wide array of benefits itself.
Lavender oil is quite famous for being calming and soothing for the senses and for the skin. While people struggling for a good night’s sleep find great support, those with dry skin also speak highly of this essential oil.
Patchouli oil, on the other hand, has a beautifully dense antioxidant profile and is quite effective in collagen support.
2. Oils are Natural to the Skin
2. Oils are Natural to the Skin
Your body produces oils too, you know. This natural oil, also known as sebum, is what naturally moisturises the skin, and even prevents moisture from evaporating.
This means that oil is far more familiar to your body than a lotion, it's actually alien.
Natural oils seep into the deeper layers of the skin, penetrating into the cellular layers, and delivering nutrients directly where it is needed.
Lotions on the other hand have limited benefits, they coat the surface but do not seep into the deepest layers. More often than not, the lightweight moisturiser you’re putting on gets evaporated quickly, leaving your skin at the mercy of external aggressors.
On the other hand, even balms made from petroleum jelly have a thick coating that doesn’t allow water loss from the skin, but even it cannot seep into the skin or benefit the skin from the inside.
The skin has a lipid barrier/ moisture barrier that helps retain moisture in the skin, and protect it from environmental stressors. This barrier is your body’s wall and the lipids (oils) hold them together like mortar. Therefore when you introduce a body oil to your skin, it easily slips between skin cells like it belongs there.
What’s more? These oils are self-preserving and don’t need any random preservatives or stabilisers in their formulation. Compared to lotions, you only need a small amount of body oil to not only cover more of your skin but also to keep your skin hydrated for longer.
With time and regular use, body oils improve your body’s ability to stay moisturised and hydrated on its own. On the contrary, a lotion makes your skin even more dependent. Since lotions can evaporate, the skin requires constant reapplication, without which you’ll be left with dry, parched skin.

Skincare and bodycare should not be daunting. Relying on 5 different lotions for 5 different benefits sounds like too much trouble.

That sounds too exhausting, doesn't it?

Oils have a tarnished reputation for being ‘oily’. But in all honesty, plant and nut-based oils seep deep into the skin, and get easily absorbed without the worry of greasiness.
And once absorbed, what do they do? Everything you want them to, and more.
Hydrate the Skin - In tune with the body’s natural oils, these seep into the deep layers of the skin, unlike lotions that can only impact the surface. It also ensures that moisture in the body is not lost.
Improve Skin Elasticity - Ageing skin loses elastin and collagen, which are crucial for our bodies to hold their plumpy structure. When the skin can no longer do this naturally, body oils come in handy.
Instant & Long-Term Glow - Oils can give you an awe-worthy glow from the first use. However, this glow only gets better with time. Once superficial, with regular use this natural glow becomes part of your own skin, giving it a healthy, plump, younger look.
Reduces Stretch marks - Massaging oils into your skin has a great toning benefit. Both due to the nutritional composition of the oil as well as the act of body massage, the look of cellulite and stretch marks can be reduced. Not just that but regular massage with oil helps firm the skin and reduce the appearance of crepey, wrinkled skin all over the body.
Smoother Skin - Apart from intense, all day lasting moisture, body oils also greatly help improve the skin texture over time, giving you softer, smoother skin to flaunt.

5. Body Oils Have Journeyed Through Time
5. Body Oils Have Journeyed Through Time
The use of body oils is not new. On the contrary, its historical evidence goes as far back as 5000 years.
Picture Ancient Egypt, where Cleopatra bathed in milk and drenched her skin in precious oils, believing they were gifts from the gods themselves.
Travel east to India, where for over 5000 years, the daily practice of "Abhyanga" – warm oil massage – has been considered essential for both physical beauty and spiritual wellbeing.
Journey to Greece and Rome, where athletes glistened with olive oil, and elaborate oil-based perfumes filled the grand bathhouses.
Morocco, Pacific Islands, Japan and even Africa have a long history of using oils to nourish and protect their skin.
What's fascinating is how these diverse civilizations, separated by vast oceans and countless miles, all arrived at the same profound understanding: that pure, natural oils were the key to timeless beauty.
The realisation that body oils have a long history in not 1 but multiple civilisations has also pushed for a more natural, oil-based beauty tradition to return.
Giving up on chemicals you can’t spell, and fillers you don’t need in your moisturisers, this current trend is all about going back to the roots.

When You Speak Your Skin’s Language, Magic Happens
Listen to your skin, it speaks to you.
It tells you tales of dehydration, of old age, of experiences. It asks for care, it shouts for attention. The dryness on your elbows, the loose skin on your arms, and the crepiness on your bums, all call for your love and attention. And when your skin has suffered so much, why put it under another ordeal of chemicals and surface-level benefits?
Instead, give it nature. Give it care. Give it the bottled love of Magic!
My skin needs MAGIC and I need Magic Body Oil!
