Best spray on body oil

13 replies

Sanctuary used to do a brilliant after shower spray body oil but it’s been discontinued. I can’t find any replacement that’s similar. L’Occitane do a spray oil which I bough, but it’s quite thick and gloopy: great for arms and legs but I’m looking for something that I can spray onto my shoulders and back. Has anyone got any recs?

Not a spray but I’m loving these, an India Knight recommendation. www.frenchsoaps.co.uk/collections/french-dry-body-oil

Aveeno Skin Relief body Oil is a good one

Nuxe?

Clarins and Chanel used to do glorious versions but both sadly discontinued. Nuxe or This Works seem to be the only options, haven’t tried either

Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll take a look.

I like the Aveeno one too.

Avon?

Hi. You’d probably like a dry-touch spray oil. Look for lighter ingredients like "coco-caprylate, squalane, sunflower oil, fractionated coconut oil, or lightweight esters" because they spread easily & absorb faster without that sticky feel on the shoulders and back. A lot of thicker ones rely more on heavier oils & butters (which can feel lovely on legs but too rich elsewhere).

Yes I use Aveeno. Oh how I miss Johnston's baby oil mousse. Sadly discontinued.

I was looking for the Sanctuary one and wondered if it had been discontinued!

I use the Aveeno one. I don’t find it particularly moisturising though. If I shower and apply before bed, my skin feels a bit dry again the next morning.

I’ve just bought the Vaseline oil gel (£5.50 from Savers). I haven’t tried it yet as I’m finishing up the last of the Aveeno.
