“My skin has never been so soft”: the 3 best body oils for fall, according to the editorial staff

Every year, at the same time, our skin demands more softness. Between chafing sweaters, drier air and scalding showers, it becomes dehydrated and loses its shine. Now is the perfect time to incorporate body oil into your beauty routine.

Unlike creams, oils seal in hydration, repair the skin barrier and enhance the skin from the first application. And when they smell good, it’s a real moment of sensory pleasure.

1. Ayurvedic beauty oil “Journey on the spice route” from La Sultane de Saba: sensory escape

One word: captivating.

This oil signed La Sultane de Saba transforms the body routine into a true ritual of well-being. Its warm and spicy fragrance, inspired by Ayurveda, envelops the skin with an irresistible oriental scent. There are notes of vanilla, amber and spices reminiscent of traditional hammams.

Rich in vegetable oils (sesame, sunflower, carrot), it intensely nourishes and leaves the skin satiny without a greasy effect. We love applying it after a shower, on skin that is still slightly damp, to prolong the pleasure of the perfume all day long.

The little extra? A few drops on the lengths restore shine and suppleness to dry hair.

2. L’Occitane Almond Suppleness Oil: the most pampering

This is the madeleine de Proust oils: it’s impossible not to fall for its sweet almond smell, comforting and slightly sweet.

There Almond Suppleness Oil from L’Occitane is a great classic, known for its firming and softening properties. Enriched with almond oil and omega 6, it helps to tone the skin while improving its elasticity.

Its fine texture penetrates instantly and leaves a satin finish, perfect for dressing right after. It’s the ultimate cocooning gesture to gently face autumn.

And let’s face it: its scent is so addictive that it almost replaces our eau de toilette.

3. Huile Prodigieuse Néroli from Nuxe: the cult treatment revisited

It’s difficult to talk about oils without mentioning Prodigious Oil.

In his version Néroli, Nuxe revisits its iconic formula in an even more soothing spirit. Its fresh, floral and slightly zesty scent is reminiscent of summer evenings while bringing a feeling of serenity.

Made up of more than 98% ingredients of natural origin, this multi-purpose dry oil nourishes, repairs and enhances both the body and the hair. A few drops on the ends are enough to restore shine and softness.

It’s the “all-in-one” oil that you keep in your bathroom, summer and fall.

Why switch to oil this fall?

Body oils have the advantage of combining nutrition and sensory pleasure. Their texture envelops the skin in a protective film without greasing it, while boosting suppleness and luminosity.

In autumn, they become essential to combat skin dryness and restore comfort.
And contrary to popular belief, they are suitable for all skin types – even oily skin – as long as you choose a suitable formula.

The secret to velvety skin: application to damp skin

This is the gesture that should not be neglected: apply your oil just after showering, when the skin is still slightly damp.

This little detail changes everything, because water helps the active ingredients penetrate better and seal in hydration. Result: softer, more supple skin, and an instant silky finish.

Beauty Tip Test: massage the skin in circular movements to activate microcirculation and boost firmness.

Perfumes that make you travel without leaving home

These three oils have one thing in common: they tell a story through their scent.

La Sultane de Saba transports you to an oriental spa, L’Occitane evokes the sweetness of an almond garden in Provence, and Nuxe Néroli offers a relaxing Mediterranean touch.

Their delicate trail remains on the skin for several hours, transforming the treatment into a real moment of daily escape.
