Body oil is primarily used to hydrate and moisturize the skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple. It can also improve skin elasticity and provide a healthy glow.

It's generally not recommended to use body oil internally or on the sensitive mucous membranes of the private area. Certain specifically formulated vulvar oils, if designed for that purpose, may be suitable, but always consult a healthcare professional before use.

The best body oil depends on your skin type. For dry skin, consider richer oils like coconut or shea. Lighter oils like jojoba or grapeseed are often better for oily or acne-prone skin.

Apply body oil immediately after showering while skin is still damp to lock in moisture. Lotion can be applied after the oil has absorbed for added hydration, or as an alternative if you prefer a lighter feel.
