Everything’s coming up roses with the REN Moroccan Rose Otto Ultra-Nourishing Body Oil

A little while ago (ok ok a LONG while ago), I told you that I now almost exclusively use body oils instead of body creams, butters or lotions. I find that they absorb so much better and my skin feels so much better too but you can read all about my thoughts in my previous post. One of the body oils I have been using for a while now, is this one by REN Skincare.

You can see that I’m about halfway through this bottle of the REN Moroccan Rose Otto Ultra-Nourishing Body Oil which is such a mouthful I don’t know where to start. So I’ll call this the REN Moroccan Rose Body Oil. This one’s a pricey number but even with quite regular use, I’m not going through it like water so I think it a lovely splurge (or if you are preparing a gift wishlist y’know… 😉 )

Body Oils I Like: DollyMoo Lavender Body Oil

Paris B 27 Comments

Last week I told you about my weakness for body oils and why I liked using body oils. I told you then that one of the body oils I’d been using is a lavender body oil by DollyMoo. DollyMoo is an online store based in the USA selling handmade and homemade body oils, salt scrubs and lipbalm from natural and organic sources.

I was contacted by Nicci, one of the two sister owners, and I picked the Lavender Body Oil to try, because I have a soft spot for lavender.

So while I was all keen to dig right into the DollyMoo Lavender Body Oil, it was not without a little bit of reservation.

I love body oils : The case for body oils and why I love them

Paris B 66 Comments

A while ago, I mentioned in my comment replies about preferring body oils to body lotions. Reader melchewvin picked up on it and asked if body oils would be too oily here in Malaysia because of our humid tropical weather. I promised I’d talk about using body oils but what with one commitment and another, I couldn’t find the space. Well I’ve recently decided that while commitments are all well and fine, I want to write about stuff I like, when I like. And I like body oils 🙂

My pet tiger loves body oils too 🙂

I actually started with the REN Moroccan Rose Body Oil which is a very lovely, very lux rose scented body oil. I then went on to purchase the Marie Veronique Anti-Aging body oil with Rose and Neroli, and most recently, I was sent a Lavender Body Oil from DollyMoo. I’ll be reviewing these 3 body oils in the coming days/weeks so if you’d like to know my thoughts on each of the body oils I have, do remember to subscribe or just come back for more.

Today, I’d just like to plead my case for body oils, and why I like them and prefer oils to lotions.
