There is something undeniably luxurious about massaging a beautiful body oil into your skin. At Amelia Nour, our collection of body oils and moisturising oils combines plant-powered nourishment with sensorial indulgence, giving your skin deep hydration and a healthy, luminous glow.
Body oils work by forming a protective layer on the skin's surface that prevents moisture loss while delivering nourishing fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants directly to the skin. Unlike water-based lotions, oils are especially effective for very dry or dehydrated skin because they strengthen the skin barrier and provide long-lasting nourishment.
Our range features oils crafted from the finest botanical ingredients argan, rosehip, jojoba, sweet almond, marula and coconut, among others. Each plant oil brings unique benefits: argan oil is rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids, rosehip oil is prized for its skin-regenerating properties, and jojoba oil closely mimics the skin's own sebum for effortless absorption.
For best results, apply body oil to damp skin immediately after showering. The water on your skin helps the oil emulsify and spread evenly, while the oil seals that moisture in. You can also blend a few drops of body oil into your regular body lotion for an enhanced hydration boost.
Discover our full range of natural body oils below and transform your daily moisturising routine into a moment of luxury.
Apply body oil to slightly damp skin straight after showering. The water helps the oil spread evenly and absorb better, while the oil locks that moisture in. Warm a few drops between your palms first, then massage in long, upward strokes for best results.
Is body oil better than body lotion?
A great face moisturiser is the linchpin of any skincare routine. It locks in hydration, strengthens your skin barrier and creates the perfect canvas for makeup or simply leaves your skin looking healthy and radiant on its own. At Amelia Nour, our moisturiser edit covers every skin type, concern and preference.
Finding your ideal moisturiser starts with understanding what your skin needs. Oily skin benefits from lightweight gel or gel-cream moisturisers with mattifying properties. Dry skin craves richer creams loaded with ceramides, shea butter and nourishing plant oils. Combination skin often needs a balanced formula that hydrates without adding shine. Sensitive skin thrives with fragrance-free, minimal-ingredient formulas featuring calming botanicals.
Our collection goes beyond basic hydration. Many of our moisturisers are multi-tasking formulas that deliver additional benefits, antioxidant protection from vitamin C, anti-ageing support from peptides and retinol, pore refinement from niacinamide, and sun protection from mineral SPF.
The best moisturisers also feature ingredients that support your skin barrier the outermost protective layer. Ceramides, squalane, fatty acids and hyaluronic acid all help repair and maintain this vital barrier, keeping moisture in and irritants out.
Apply moisturiser morning and evening after cleansing and serum application. A small amount goes a long way use about a pea-sized amount and warm it between your fingers before pressing gently into the skin. Explore our full range below.
Can I use body oil on my face?
Some body oils are suitable for facial use, but many contain heavier oils or fragrances that may clog pores. If you want to use oil on your face, choose a dedicated facial oil formulated with non-comedogenic ingredients suited to more delicate skin.
Which body oil is best for dry skin?
For very dry skin, look for body oils rich in oleic acid, such as argan, avocado or sweet almond oil. These deeply nourishing oils penetrate the skin barrier effectively. Marula and baobab oils are also excellent choices for intense hydration and repair.
Will body oil stain my clothes?
Most high-quality body oils absorb well within a few minutes and should not stain clothing. Apply to damp skin, allow a few minutes for absorption before dressing, and avoid over-applying. If concerned, choose lightweight, fast-absorbing oils like jojoba or squalane.
