Shower oil offers a fun change to your body routine; you can use it in place of soap or body wash. It's especially great to swap out your soaps for an oil because they are a bit more hydrating and nourishing, making them a must-have for winter.

Shower oils are designed to cleanse like soap and body wash but not strip your skin. We love a glow-up, and this is such an easy way to step up your body care game.

Here are some shower oils that'll give you smoother-looking skin. 

L'Occitane Cleansing and Softening Shower Oil With Almond Oil

Before we talk about ingredients, the first thing worth mentioning about this product is that it is refillable!

This body cleanser starts as oil but transforms into a "milky" lather once mixed with water.

This vegan product highlights sweet almond oil from Provence and grapeseed oil, which has omega-6 and omega-9, which can help soften and nourish skin. Plus, it smells like almonds! 

Kopari Beauty Hydrating Vitamin C Shower Oil

Vitamin C in body care? Sign us up! The vitamin C power comes from one of the key ingredients in this, passionfruit seed oil, which is also an antioxidant-heavy ingredient. One of the reasons this stands out in our list is that it uses several different types of oil that aren't exactly typical of shower oils. It also uses hibiscus oil and coconut oil to hydrate and naturally cleanse your body. 

Natura Ekos Tukumã Biphase Shower Oil

Vegan and mostly natural (97%), this shower oil uses something called Tukumã Amazon bioactive, which has raw oil and butter that gives your skin a glow as well as hydrates it. The Tukumã raw butter helps stimulate your skin's natural hyaluronic acid production, which keeps you super hydrated.

Meanwhile, the oil helps protect your skin's natural hyaluronic acid production.

Bonus: it smells like floral with a touch of amber, wood, and creamy fruit.

Avène XeraCalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing Cleansing Oil

This cleansing oil can be used on your scalp, face, and body, making it versatile. The formula uses oil to seal in moisture as it also helps restore your skin's barrier. It contains L-modulia to calm itching and cer-omegas, which help restore your skin barrier and hydrate your skin. Additionally, it uses Avene thermal spring water, which will help calm and soften your skin. 

Aveeno Skin Relief Shower & Bath Oil

This shower and bath oil uses oatmeal to help soothe and smooth your skin, especially if it is feeling a bit itchy. It was designed to be used for people with skin that is on the drier side. It also will leave your skin feeling super soft.
