How to use a dry body oil for an optimal glow from head to toe
In mindbodygreen dry body oil, we use sunflower seed oil, organic safflower seed oil, squalene, prickly pear seed oil and vitamin E. Sunflower and safflower oils give the oil a signature silkiness and lightness. I particularly like safflower oil because it contains a flavonoid that has been shown to protect the collagen layer of the skin. In addition, prickly pear seed oil is rich in antioxidants, and squalane supports the skin barrier.
If you’re looking for an extra dose of sparkle, you can look for brown options or ones with a hint of shimmer. For example, Summer Friday’s Pool Time Glowing Body Oil contains jojoba oil and sunflower seed oil, as well as mica for shine. Pacifica Beauty Sea & C Glow Bronzing Body Oil combines sunflower, safflower, jojoba and bronzing pigments to deliver a deeper glow. I’m not much of a glitter girl myself, so I just stick with the straight gloss effect of the oil.
