Last winter, I began collecting lotion. I didn’t intend to amass this bounty — I just couldn’t find anything to relieve my uncomfortably dry skin.
It was my first winter back on the East Coast after many sunny winters out west, and I’d forgotten about the tight, itchy feeling that comes with the season’s outdoor chill and indoor heat. From reliable drugstore lotions to new high-end formulations, all of the creams and serums I tried seemed to sit on the top layer of my skin without much meaningful absorption. A few people suggested trying oil instead of lotion and applying it by pressing it into fresh-from-the-shower skin instead of rubbing it onto dry skin. It worked, but it was time-consuming and, sometimes, messy.
Then, I found it: A fine mist body oil I could spray onto my skin.
Hume Supernatural Dry Body Oil Spray, $20 with coupon
It was September when I discovered Hume Supernatural Dry Body Oil Spray. It was too late to solve last winter’s dry skin crisis, but it was just in time for this year’s. I began using it immediately and was pleased to see that the custom blend of natural oils spritzed easily onto my skin and absorbed quickly — no waiting to get dressed! — whether my skin was damp from the shower or bone dry.
In addition to soothing my grumpy skin, I appreciate that the Dry Body Oil Spray and everything else from Hume Supernatural is free from preservatives, dyes, alcohol, and other additives that can dry out skin or disrupt the body’s all-important microbiome.
I’ve been using the fragrance-free version, but next, I’ll try Amber Woods; I know I’ll love the warm, slightly sweet scent from using the brand’s deodorant. Other scent options include Vanilla Daze and Desert Bloom.
If you’ve been struggling to find a solution to dry body skin, try Hume Supernatural Dry Body Oil Spray — especially while it’s 15 percent off at Amazon, bringing its already reasonable $24 price tag to just $20.
