Spring is here – warmer days, brighter sun, and more legs to stretch. Everyone’s mood has improved, which has led to more conversations with strangers and, in my case, compliments on my glowing skin. I knew this was weird, it had never happened before, so I spent some time analyzing what had changed in my body care habits to get compliments from three strangers. I quickly found the culprit: Chanel’s Jasmine Body Oil.
I’ve been using Chanel Body Oil for a few months now, but since my midsection and shoulders are exposed, I always slather it all over my body before leaving the house. My skin smells great, looks glowy, and incredibly healthy.
If you think my skin is shiny after leaving the house and that it’s not absorbing enough, let me debunk that lie. The oil gives a sheen within 30 seconds of application, but it doesn’t leave a residue. I wiped my hands over my chest and nothing came off, and it didn’t smudge on my clothes. But other than that, it’s a really great product. It’s lightly scented, with a classic, chic, light jasmine scent that reminds me of the flower fields of the South of France, and it also has a skin-softening formula.
The most notable ingredient in Chanel’s L’Huil Jasmin Body Oil is sunflower seed oil; it’s anti-inflammatory, soothes redness and irritation, and strengthens the skin barrier for long-lasting hydration. Jasmine, meanwhile, has the ability to improve wrinkles and fade pigmentation.
At $230, Chanel’s L’Huil Jasmin Body Oil is expensive. But its glass bottle is heavy and luxurious, and you only need a small amount to cover your whole body and it will last for years. Plus, its light, fresh scent doubles as perfume.
