Vogue Editors Pick Best Firming Body Oils for Crepey Skin
Vogue has published a curated list of the best firming body oils for dry, crepey skin, featuring expert insights from dermatologists and estheticians. The top pick is Costa Brazil Kaya Jungle Firming Oil ($98), praised for its Amazonian botanicals and lightweight texture. Other recommendations include Osea Undaria Algae Body Oil ($52) for crepey skin, Maёlys Get-Taut Body Firming Mousse to Oil ($49) for arms, Nécessaire The Body Oil ($52) as a dry oil, and Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Body Firmeza Oil ($52) for puffiness. Experts like Karina Freedman (founder of KarinaNYC), Dr. Divya Shokeen (California-based dermatologist), and Dr. Shannon Humphrey (Vancouver dermatologist) explain that body oils improve skin appearance through hydration, barrier support, and massage, but cannot structurally tighten loose skin. Key ingredients include caffeine, capsaicin, sacha inchi peptide, and undaria seaweed. The article emphasizes that well-hydrated skin looks plumper and smoother, and advises consumers to look for active ingredients high on the ingredient list.
