There’s something about a body oil that just feels different from a cream or lotion. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll always keep a trusty moisturiser around, but an oil feels more indulgent, almost like a little ritual. It’s a staple part of my morning routine to set the tone for the day and by evening, it’s a moment of calm before bed.
Massaging in a body oil really makes me feel like I’m caring for myself - and my skin. It’s that extra touch of luxury: the silky texture, the glow it leaves behind, the subtle scent that lingers on the skin. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love the glazed donut or dolphin skin trend? Oils just take that to the next level!
Here are five of the best body oils that I keep coming back to:
Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse: The Classic You’ll Always Return To

If body oils had a hall of fame, this French pharmacy staple would be at the top. It’s beautifully scented, lightweight and leaves the skin feeling nourished without any stickiness. I love that it’s so multi-purpose. You can use it on your body, hair, even your brows if you’re feeling chic! And the price point makes it a luxury that doesn’t break the bank.
Aveeno Daily Moisturising Oil Mist: Affordable Everyday Nourishment
For those days when you want something rich, hydrating and super easy on the wallet, Aveeno’s body oil is a gem. It sinks in quickly, has a lovely, sweet scent and keeps skin moisturised all day. The price means you can be generous with it without any guilt too! It’s perfect to spritz liberally on weekday mornings when you’re in a rush to get out of the door and need a workhorse product to do the hard work for you!
Kora Organics Noni Glow Body Oil: The Conscious Beauty Pick
Miranda Kerr’s wellness brand Kora Organics has become a go-to for anyone who loves clean, certified organic skincare. The Noni Glow Body Oil is packed with antioxidants and essential fatty acids that really nurture the skin. It feels like skincare for your body, not just a hydrator - a true self-care staple.
Caudalie Soleil des Vignes Body Oil Elixir: The Glow Getter
If you’re looking for a sun-kissed sheen and that just-back-from-holiday radiance, this is the one. Soleil des Vignes has that gorgeous summery scent (think sunshine, white flowers, and warm sand) and a finish that makes your skin glow without looking greasy. It’s my go-to for evenings out or when I want to feel instantly more polished.
Augustinus Bader The Body Oil: The Boujee Indulgence

Yes, it’s a splurge, but sometimes your skin deserves the best of the best. This oil is powered by Augustinus Bader’s signature TFC8® technology, which helps support skin renewal while deeply hydrating. It’s luxe, it’s effective and it makes the whole “self-care ritual” feel like something straight out of a spa. It’s definitely one to save for when you want to treat yourself!
Not just for hydration, Body Oils to me are all about the ritual, the glow and that little touch of luxury in the everyday. The small glimmers in the day where we take a moment to be a little kinder to ourselves. Whether you’re reaching for an affordable everyday mist or splurging on a spa-in-a-bottle experience, there’s something really magical about taking those extra few minutes to nourish your skin. And after all, who wouldn’t want to shine like a glazed donut… but in the chicest way possible?
