For reasons that elude me (I think it has something to finish with the heater in the house), when summer arrives, my scaly alligator-like arms and legs become slightly less…alligator-like. My skin isn’t quite as dry, so I’ve swapped out the heavy-duty body creams I used in winter season for lighter, but still moisturizing, body oils. They keep my skin satiated and, much more importantly (haha), when I wear dresses, the oils give my arms and legs a snazzy sheen.
I keep a small arsenal of oils on my restroom shelf and alternate among them depending on my mood. I also think they look pretty cool in mah bathroom.

Here are three of them I’ve been loving lately…
Fresh Sugar Ultra-Nourishing Body Oil smells like lemons and sugar — two very good things — and it’s the oil I get when I want a citrusy base for perfumes.
It’s also fantastically moisturizing. $48 for a 3.3-oz. bottle. available now online and at Fresh counters, stores and Sephora.
Ren Moroccan rose glow has a crisp, herbal scent that I like. this one has a convenient spray bottle, too, so it’s easy to use when I’m in a hurry (like every morning), and I can’t unintentionally spill the oil all over the place. $60 for a 3.40-oz. bottle. available now exclusively at SpaceNK stores and online.
NARS Monoi Body glow II smells so fracking good! — like vanilla and tiare flowers. It’s warm, seductive and downright ideal for date night. Plus, if you look closely at the bottle, you can see a flower in it. Cool! $59 for a 3.9-oz. bottle. available now online and at NARS stores, counters and Sephora.

For a budget-friendlier option, check out Neutrogena Body Oil fragrance totally free ($9.99) or Shea moisture Coconut & Hibiscus bath & Body massage Oil ($9.99). I’ve used both of them numerous times, and they’re also completely on point.
Your friendly neighborhood charm addict,
