The autumn weather has left many skincare lovers realising how the dry air and cold weather wreaking havoc on their skin, both face and body.

The cracks and fine lines on the body are signs to warn you that ‘your skin is thirsty’ and body oil is one of the lightweight product that delivers ‘deep hydration’ without giving you a greasy feeling. Wellness expert and hotel heiress Irene Forte uses the active organic ingredients at the Verdura Resort in Sicily, Italy to develop her skincare line.

The Irene Forte Rose Body Oil is an ultra-smoothing body oil proven to enhance skin elasticity, boost collagen and leaving the skin noticeably more supple and nourished. The aroma of rose leaves a long-lasting trail of scent on skin, which adds therapeautic benefits when using it post-shower.

The body oil is formulated by ximenynic acid, which is derived from sandalwood, to firm skin, enhance microcirculation. According to their trial result, 80% of the testers agreed the rose body oil “visibly reduces the appearance of cellulite and orange peel skin“.

It can be used alone but with the practice of dry brushing, the results are better. Influencer Elise shared on Instagram: “I have been using the Irene Forte Rose Body Oil three times a week for the last couple of months as part of my evening bodycare routine and I’ve seen such a difference in my skin texture. The oil is such a dream to use and my favourite way to use it is after dry body brushing after a long warm shower.”

Skincare and wellness content creator Donna Bartoli also raved about dry brushing, which is brushing on dry skin, as it helps reduce swelling, exfoliates dead skin while activating the lymphatic system.

It also aids better absorption of the body oil after shower, maximising the properties of antioxidant-rich Wild Rose and jojoba oil and vitamin E to strengthen the skin’s barrier.

Another added: “Self care at its finest. Need to body brush – an oil when the weather starts getting colder is a must.”

Shoppers can buy the Rose Body Oil at Face the Future for £110, but some said it’s too expensive and will only use it sparingly to treat themselves.

Irene added: “Containing Ximenynic Acid and Gotu Kola, this body oil is designed to smooth dimpled and orange peel skin, ultimately reducing the appearance of cellulite. As a nod to our spa heritage, we have also developed a signature body brushing and massage routine for this oil, accessible via the QR code on its box, allowing you to enhance its results.”

Alternatively This Works’ body oil features a blend of 19 botanical oils that improves rough, dry or lacklustre legs and it’s available at SpaceNK for £36.

Augustinus Bader’s Germanium Rose Body Oil, £85, is a fast-absorbing oil formulated to intensely hydrate, nourish, firm and smooth, for visible results.
