Skincare and oils are two words that most people think don’t get along. If you are a skincare enthusiast, keep reading! We will tell you everything you need to know about this topic so you can adventure yourself into using oils without the fear of being “greasy.” However, the option we bring today is shower oils, which is a perfect alternative for cautious people that want to try a no-too-oily formula.  

Essential oils have a long list of benefits for your skin and health in general. If you are a frequent reader, you probably saw our entry about the benefits of Argan oil for your skin’s health. This time, we want to show you the advantages of using shower oils and why you should include this product in your everyday bath routine. 

Shower oils are products formulated to be gentler and hydrating for your skin. If you have sensitive or dry skin, this option will suit you best to maintain your complexions' balance and avoid discomfort.   

You may think, but isn't this the same as shower gels? The short answer is no. Shower gels have the same cleansing properties as soaps, but with that plus that will conserve your skin's natural oils. You can use them as a substitute for soaps and shower gels or as an addition to them.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SHOWER OILS AND SHOWER GELS

There is no right or wrong when it comes to shower oils and shower gels. Both options are good, but your choice will depend on what you are looking for, and your skin needs.  

Both products will gently leave your skin, and if you’re worried about feeling greasy when you use shower oils, don’t be. Just like shower gels, both rinse off in the same way. However, shower oils are denser due to their nature.  

Shower gel will give you a more soapy texture with bubbles. On the other hand, shower oil provides a more creamy consistency when mixed with water. Both products are formulated to maintain and improve your skin’s natural barrier while also moisturizing and cleansing it. 

If you have normal skin, you can use both alternatives. However, oily and acne-prone skin can benefit more from using a shower gel that has more cleansing properties. Oil showers are the go-to option for dry and sensitive skins because of their preservation and restoration properties.   

In terms of advantages and properties, it also depends on the ingredients and components of each product. For example, our shower oil with argan, almond, and olive is specially formulated for sensitive skins. It has an enriched, non-greasy texture to provide your skin with an ultra-moisturizing experience that will soften and soothe it.  

Crafted in France and using centuries-old recipes from the Provence region, this product is made with no parabens, no silicon, and no animal fat. Besides, it’s cruelty-free and soap-free, which makes it a terrific suitable option for sensitive skin. 

SHOWER OIL BENEFITS FOR YOUR SKIN

CLEAN YOUR SKIN GENTLY

Shower oils will remove impurities from your skin but leave your natural oils intact to preserve your natural skin barrier and enhance its function of working as a protective layer. Even after you rinse the product, you will have an invisible layer that will lock in the moisture and prevent it from drying out.  

With this type of product, you will have the same hygiene benefits as regular soap or shower gel. They will leave your skin fresh, shiny, and clean but with an extra boost of hydration that will go into deeper layers and rejuvenate your body.  

For some people, using soaps in the shower can leave their skin feeling stripped or extremely dry. This is something that will not happen when you use shower oils. 

2 STEPS IN ONE 

Let’s be honest, having a skincare routine can be an exhausting activity, mainly if it includes different steps for your face and others for your body. After a hard and long day at work, we just want to do the basics and get some rest.   

A shower oil can solve this problem and shorten your skincare steps. By now, you probably know how important moisturizing and hydration are for your skin. Well, as you read before, one of the main benefits of using shower oils is how hydrating they are. 

Since they clean as they moisturize, you can skip the lotion part and just “clean” your skin in the bathroom. The product will do the rest, and your body will be washed and nourished! 

KIND WITH ALL SKIN TYPES 

Shower oils will be your savior if you suffer from dry skin, itching, or sensibility. There’s no secret that regular soaps can irritate some skins because they tend to be harsh on the skin. They are supposed to clean everything, the good and the bad.  

This is why it is so essential you have gentle formulas available that can take care of your skin according to your complexion and needs. Our shower oil and shower gels are formulated with your skin in mind. They will cleanse your skin and provide the moisture it needs to keep healthy and nurtured.  

Whether your skin is sensitive, oily, dry, or a combination, we have a complete product line that will meet your needs. Our soaps, shower gels, shower oil, creams, and beauty oils are made with natural ingredients that will boost your skin health.
