We know many of you have questions about body oils and body lotions - how are they different, and how do you choose the right body oil for dry skin? Both are equally important, but there are significant contrasts between the two.
The texture of body oil is thicker than body lotion, as it creates a thin veil on the outer layer of the skin to lock in moisture and prevent skin dehydration. That's why body oils are the recommended treatment for dry skin. They are effective in soothing and deeply moisturise the skin.
On the other hand, body lotions contain more water than oil, making them a little more lightweight than body oils.
If you're concerned about body oils being too thick or greasy, you won't need to worry about Clarins' body treatment oils, because our oils are lightweight, quick- absorbing and non-comedogenic, meaning they won't clog your pores or leave a greasy residue.
Made with natural essential oils extracted from plants, our body oils are ideal for dry skin and are well-loved by many customers around the world for their aromathepeutic elements as well.
