Body butter is perhaps one of the oldest cosmetic products that have come down to the XNUMXst century and have not lost their popularity. But what is dry body butter?
What is dry oil
What does “dry” mean? The fact is that the product has all the properties of ordinary oil, but it is interesting that after application to the skin it does not leave a feeling of greasy and sticky. On the contrary, the skin after dry oil acquires porcelain smoothness, softness, and often dullness. At the same time, like any other oil, it locks moisture in the skin. However, first things first.
Dry body butter moisturizes the skin without leaving an unpleasant shine and sticky feeling.
Useful properties for the skin of the body and face
Any oil is a nutritious product that:
strengthens the lipid mantle of the skin;
has a moisturizing effect;
softens and nourishes;
smoothes and promotes elasticity.
The remaining nuances and specific benefits are associated with specific products and their composition.
Composition
Body butter is available in the form of a spray, cream and, in fact, oil, enclosed in a vial.
Today, oils in cosmetics are a real trend. The most commonly used are those that have been tested by time:
cocoa;
argan;
almonds;
roses;
grapes;
coconut;
Apricot
olives;
sunflower;
soy;
rice bran.
However, the list is endless.
Release Format
Usually dry body butter comes in spray form, which is very convenient. It is enough to spray the product on the body, and then distribute it over the skin. Everything about everything takes no more than three minutes.
Which oil is better to choose
The choice of body butter is an individual story. Everything matters: aroma, texture, caring properties.
When choosing a dry oil for the body, there are no special rules, as is the case with a face cleanser.
The tool may have a moisturizing effect, and may have anti-cellulite and skin tightening properties. However, it still nourishes and “oils” the skin.
Attention should be paid to the following points:
form – choose a spray, the most convenient dry oil format;
versatility – it’s good if the dry oil is intended, for example, for both the body and hair.

How to use oil correctly
You can use dry oil all year round, with an exception, perhaps, only for too hot summer days. But in any case, it is worth starting from your own feelings. There are several ways to use dry oil.
Right after shower. Apply oil to damp skin. Do this with circular massaging movements.
On pulsating points on the body. Apply a few drops of body oil to pulse points: behind the ears, under the knees, on the wrists, at the elbows and at the base of the neck. Then during the day you will be accompanied by a pleasant aroma.
For hair. One or two drops of body oil can be applied to the hair: rub the product in the palms of your hands and run your hands along the entire length of the hair from the roots. The oil will help soften dry ends and give your hair a light fragrance for the whole day.
General recommendation. Warm a small amount of oil in your palms and apply to the desired area. Move from your fingers or toes up. In the abdomen, massage the body in a clockwise direction.
