12 best shower oils

Review of the best according to the editorial board. About selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Modern man has the ability to take a bath and shower every day. For effective skin cleansing, special products have been created – gels. They occupy a significant part on the shelves of hygiene departments in any store. The assortment includes more than a hundred items. The leaders are products with a pleasant aroma and beautiful packaging. But most of them have one big drawback – they cause dry skin. Nobody will like this effect. To fix the problem, you have to use moisturizing products after a shower. But not everyone is willing to spend extra time on this.

Manufacturers have found a way to combine cleansing, nourishing and moisturizing the skin while showering or bathing. These are special oils. This does not mean fatty products that are applied to a dry cover. Products look like regular gel, but differ in consistency. In fact, these are unique foaming oils. They have enough advantages. Our experts have identified the most notable:

1. Moisturizing without applying additional products. Immediately after the shower, the skin looks smooth and free of dry areas.
2. Nutrition. Oils also have a nourishing effect due to the content of useful elements in the composition, which maintains the skin in normal condition.
3. Aroma. This property deserves to be highlighted as a separate item. The oils have a unique natural scent even without the addition of fragrances. This is their essential difference from gels.
4. Delicate foam. Oils do not foam as well as gels. But this is not a minus. During the application of these products, a thin layer of the most delicate oily foam appears on the skin.

Not all cosmetics manufacturers present shower oils in their assortment. Therefore, there are much fewer budget products than among gels. But the consumption of oils is also low. One standard tube is enough for 1-3 months. For effective use, a few drops are enough. Our experts have compiled a list of the best bath and shower oils.
