The Best Body Oils for Dry Skin (And Why Ours Stands Out)

The Best Body Oils for Dry Skin (And Why Ours Stands Out)

Hey Kiya Collective,

If your skin’s been drinking moisturiser like water and still feeling thirsty, it might be time to switch things up, and body oil could be your new skin saviour.

Rich, radiant, and often overlooked, a good body oil is more than a glow boost, it’s a barrier protector, a hydration locker, and a ritual all in one.

Here’s why the best body oils go beyond shine, and what makes ours one of the most loved dry skin solutions in the UK.

💧 Why Body Oil Works (Especially for Dry Skin)

Unlike water-based lotions that often evaporate, body oils seal in moisture and nourish the skin barrier deeply. They’re particularly essential for those with:

  • Dry, flaky, or ashy skin

  • Eczema-prone or irritated areas

  • Skin that feels tight after showering

  • Seasonal dryness (looking at you, summer sun and winter chill)

When applied to damp skin, body oils create a protective seal, trapping hydration and leaving skin soft, supple, and luminous.

🔍 What to Look For in a High-Quality Body Oil

Not all oils are equal — and many commercial blends are filled with synthetic fragrances, mineral oils, or cheap fillers that sit on top of the skin instead of absorbing.

Here’s what to look for in the best body oils:

  • 🌿 100% natural, plant-based oils

  • ✨ Cold-pressed or virgin oils for maximum nutrients

  • 🫧 Lightweight but deeply nourishing texture

  • ❌ No artificial fragrance, alcohol, or silicone

  • 🧘🏾♀️ Bonus: A scent that makes you feel something

🌞 Meet Your Skin’s New Favourite: Sweet Nourishing Oil

Our Sweet Nourishing Oil is handcrafted to do more than moisturise, it’s a glow ritual in a bottle.

Infused with a dreamy blend of 10 carefully selected oils, including:

  • Coconut Oil: Deep nourishment + natural glow

  • Apricot Kernel & Avocado Oils: Lightweight yet richly hydrating

  • Olive & Caprylic Triglyceride: Silky softness without greasiness

  • Sweet Orange, Jasmine, Lemon and Vanilla Oils: Softly uplifting scent

  • Vitamin E: Protects and promotes elasticity

It’s non-greasy, melts in beautifully, and smells like pure sunshine. Customers call it “the one product they always repurchase” and we get it.

💛 How to Use It for Maximum Glow

  • Post-shower: Apply to damp skin and massage in circular motions

  • Layered: Mix a few drops with your favourite body butter for a deeper ritual

  • On-the-go glow: Use on your shoulders, collarbone, or shins for that soft sheen

  • Hair & nails: A few drops on the ends of your hair or cuticles = magic

It’s skincare, but it’s also self-care.

✨ Why It’s a Kiya Favourite

Our community keeps this oil in rotation year-round for a reason. It’s:

  • Handmade in small batches

  • 100% natural and full of plant power

  • Nourishing enough for dry skin but light enough for daily use

  • Beloved by mamas, wellness lovers, and anyone who wants a soft life glow

💭 Final Thoughts

The best body oils do more than hydrate, they soften the day away, restore balance to dry skin, and turn your routine into a ritual.

If your skin’s been asking for more, the Sweet Nourishing Oil is your answer.

With softness, always,
The Kiya Team
