[quote=Anonymous]I prefer moisturizing oils to lotions, as I find that the right one will be less greasy and absorb better.

My favorite body oil is Neutrogena Sesame Body Oil. It does have a scent but it's extreme light and not noticeable. I have tried a LOT of body oils, including much pricier ones, but I keep coming back to this one because it absorbs right into my skin after a shower and makes it feel soft and hydrated but NOT slick or greasy at all. Target also makes a dupe for it that is decent but not quite as good (but costs half as much). Sometimes I can't find the Neutrogena and that's my [distant] second place option.

For face, I cycle through things but right now love the face oils from Herbivore Botanicals. I have several, the Phoenix is the most moisturizing. I apply them in the evening. If my skin feels very dry I will add either a night cream or an overnight moisturizing mask on top of it, but this time of year usually the oil is enough -- I wake up with dewy, soft skin. I also use a cetaphil daily moisturizer as it's light and soaks in easily, but that mostly for SPF purposes (if I'm going to be out in full sun without a hat, I'll do a high SPF stick but it makes my skin feel greasy so most days I just do the cetaphil).[/quote]
