I like the scents of Weleda body oils
I know Trilogy Rosehip Oil is a great product. Body oils are great to use with massages.
The Vanessa Megan oil sounds lovely. I like Weleda products and Kosmea's rose one sounds nice too.
I would go with the lavender for sure!
Must try body oils
I’d like to say I rock around the house in the same outfit as the model. Alas I don’t.
Weirdly i’ve always just used baby oil for body oil. Never tried a plant based body oil ! Would love to give them a go
