Achieve Soft Skin with Tea Seed Oil and Sesame Oil
In December, with the busyness and cold of year-end weighing on the body
even a proper soak in the tub can sometimes leave you not quite fully warmed through.
Cold and dryness can leave skin feeling stiff, tight, and prone to stinging.
This is the season to smooth and soften skin back into shape with body oil.
There's no shortage of moisturizing body care products, from oils to creams, and each works a little differently.
The main difference between body oil and body cream comes down to the ratio of oil to water content.
Body oil contains a higher proportion of oil, forming a protective film on the skin that helps prevent moisture from escaping.
As body oil absorbs into the skin, it not only hydrates but also leaves skin feeling noticeably softer.
Among KOTOSHINA's most deeply moisturizing products, our body oil is formulated with tea seed oil, prized for its high compatibility with skin due to its resemblance to the skin's natural oils, along with sesame oil, known for its strong detoxifying and circulation-boosting properties, and other highly moisturizing oils like sunflower oil.
《How to Use Body Oil Effectively》
<POINT 1>
The best time to apply body oil is right before towel-drying, straight out of the bath. Since body oil absorbs more easily when the skin still has some moisture on it, lightly shake off excess water first and apply while droplets are still on the skin.
Skin tends to dry out faster than usual right after a bath, so apply body oil as soon as possible to lock in moisture.
<POINT 2>
Warm It in Your Palms Before Applying
When applying body oil, first take an appropriate amount into your hands and press your palms together to warm it with your body heat.
Warming the oil helps it spread more easily and blend more smoothly into skin. Rather than rubbing, gently work the warmed oil into your skin, massaging it in an upward motion from the lower body toward the upper body.
For dry-prone areas like elbows, knees, and heels, be sure to work the oil in thoroughly for best results.
For areas where dryness is a particular concern, layering on a bit more is a good idea. After applying and spreading it well, gently pressing with a towel can help reduce any greasy feel.
Massaging as you apply also helps boost circulation, easing tension from the cold.
It can also enhance the oil's moisturizing effect even further. Release tension from the body and welcome soft, dryness-free skin.
