For a long time, one of my favorite parts of my routine was an "everything" shower. There's not a lot I love more than taking a hot shower, washing my hair with a great-smelling shampoo, and slathering on a hair mask all while blasting Olivia Rodrigo on my phone. But then — when I tried a particularly good body oil — I couldn't wait to finish showering so I could apply the most luxurious, deliciously scented oil I've ever encountered: the Osea Undaria Algae Body Oil ($52).
I learned about the body oil from a girlfriend, but it's also loved by celebrities like Victoria Beckham. Initially, I was on the fence about testing it because it's a bit pricey, but when Posh Spice endorses something, it's usually worth trying. When I first used the product, I noticed it wasn't greasy or sticky, which is something I've encountered with other body oils. It also absorbs quickly, so I don't have to worry about it transferring to my clothes after a shower in the morning or my bedsheets in the evening. The hydration is long lasting, and my skin felt moisturized throughout the day without the need for reapplication.
Personally, my favorite way to apply this product is when my skin is still damp, immediately after getting out of the shower. I've found that I can use less product if my skin is still a tiny bit wet, which is a plus since this body oil isn't exactly cheap. I don't find that I need to layer with this product, either — it gives my skin enough moisture on its own. It also gives me a nice glow, so I love applying a generous amount to areas of my body that I want to highlight, like my collarbones, whenever I wear a tank top.
Plus, the scent lasts for hours. It's a mix of lime and grapefruit, and it's an absolute citrus dream. I always get tons of compliments on how I smell whenever I wear it. Fortunately for my skin and unfortunately for my wallet, Posh Spice's go-to body oil has become a permanent part of my getting-ready routine. But in my opinion, it's worth every penny.
