I don’t know about you, but I spend a lot of time focusing on my face skincare, so by the time it gets to my body, I have well and truly exhausted my patience.
I longed to be the type of person who had a multi-step bodycare routine, but unfortunately, I was lucky if I remembered (cared) to slap some moisturiser on after stepping out of the shower, and my poor skin was definitely suffering.
But that was until I discovered the L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil, which is a body cleanser that leaves your skin feeling ultra-soft even after it’s been washed off.
Before this, I never thought I’d be the type to opt for a two-in-one product; however, it has now become my go-to lazy girl hack for keeping my body hydrated. And ever since, I have been on a mission to try as many different shower oils as I can to see which are worth spending the money on.
Here’s my verdict.

Now, this product right here is the reason I love a shower oil.
The L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil is everything you would expect and more. It’s luxurious, nourishing, and leaves you smelling absolutely divine. A little goes a long way, but I must admit I do love to lather myself in this, especially when my skin is in need of some extra TLC.
Thanks to the almond oil and lipid formulation, once you wash it off, you are left with ultra-soft skin that stays hydrated for hours. 
The Kopari Beauty Hydrating Vitamin C Shower Oil is perfect for when you need a burst of freshness (morning shower people, I am looking at you).
Formulated with hibiscus and avocado oil, this oil transforms into a foam that thoroughly cleanses the skin without stripping any moisture.
It’s no surprise that Sephora Collection has a number of cult-favourite products (brushes, lip products, etc, etc), but I am here to put you on to their Shower Oil, because this product is next level.
It gently cleanses the skin, leaving you hydrated in a matter of seconds. 
Another fan-favourite, the Bioderma Atoderm Cleansing Shower Oil is perfect if you have irritated skin, because it is formulated to soothe and protect the skin against any external stressors.
The ingredient list is full of nourishing plant biolipids, niacinamide, and the brand’s patented skin barrier therapy to relieve any tightness or irritation.
The Ikari Shower Oil is an ultra-luxurious oil to milk texture, that helps to keep the skin clean while also moisturising. 
It has been formulated with five different plant oils, such as olive oil, sweet almond oil, sunflower oil, grapeseed oil and avocado oil, to deeply replenish and soften the skin.
The Thanks To Nature Shower Oil was designed to elevate your daily shower, giving your skin a moment of much-deserved hydration. 
The lightweight formula has been enriched with shea butter and sunflower oil to gently cleanse and deliver deep hydration. 
If you haven’t yet tried Naturium, then it’s time you got acquainted… and what better place to start than the Glow Getter Multi-Oil Body Wash.
This oil-to-gel formula instantly nourishes the skin, cleansing without stripping away any natural oils. 
The La Roche-Posay Body Wash Cleanser Oil is specifically formulated for dry to very dry skin, and it contains a prebiotic to help rebalance the skin’s delicate microbiome.
It has also been made with aqua posae, niacinamide, and shea butter to keep your skin hydrated and irritation-free.
