Body Oils
Q. When is the best time to use Weleda Body Oils?
A. The best time to use our body oils is when the skin is still moist—ideally after a bath or shower. When the skin is damp, it is able to draw in more of the benefits of the skin-softening properties contained in the body oils. Body oils may be used as regular, everyday body moisturizers, as well as specifically during a massage.
Q. Will Weleda Body Oils clog my pores?
A. Weleda Body Oils will not clog your pores. We use only the purest oils that are easily absorbed by the skin, such as organic Sesame Seed, organic Olive, organic Jojoba and Sweet Almond Oil. No mineral or petroleum oils are used. Weleda Body Oils leave the skin feeling soft and rejuvenated.
Q. Is body oil better than lotion for treating extremely dry skin?
A. Our body oils are the perfect choice for treating very dry skin. Weleda’s Wild Rose Body Oil and Sea Buckthorn Body Oil are especially good choices due to their nourishing properties. Body oil helps to maintain the skin’s health between applications, whereas body lotions tends to evaporate faster because they contain water. Thus, when the skin is extremely dry, we suggest using one of our body oils. For optimal protection of dry skin on the hands and face, we recommend Weleda Skin Food and Weleda Everon Face Balm.
Q. Which Weleda Body Oil do you recommend for a massage?
A. All of our oils may be used for any kind of massage: foot massage, hand massage, neck massage, relaxing massage or sports massage. Arnica Massage Oil is the preferred choice by thousands of massage therapists throughout the world. We also suggest Lavender Body Oil for a calming massage before bedtime. All of Weleda’s massage oils are rich in plant oils, which support the elasticity of the skin. Also, because they are absorbed into the skin over time, they are ideal for use during a pampering or therapeutic massage.
