Neutrogena Body Oil Light Sesame Formula, Fragrance-Free, 8.5 fl. oz

A bath leaves skin warm and wet, and in the minutes after it dries, it can end up tighter than before. This body oil is meant for exactly that window: a light oil pressed from white sesame seeds, sold here in the fragrance-free version, and applied a few drops at a time on damp skin straight after the bath or shower. The maker also suggests adding it to the bath water itself.

The feature set makes it a practical last step for anyone whose skin dislikes perfumed lotions. It is light enough that the maker calls it fast-absorbing, and a little goes a long way on shins, elbows and the backs of the hands, where cold weather shows first.

Tip: Put it on in the bathroom while your skin is still damp, standing on the bath mat – not in the tub. Warm three or four drops between your palms and press, don’t rub.
