      <description><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="color: #888888;"><span style="font-size: small;">Often people shy away from body oils, saving them only for massage or the occasional pampering session but we&rsquo;re on a mission to change all that and get everyone to love body oil as much as we do.</span></span></strong></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #888888;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;">But aren't they&rsquo;re expensive, greasy and messy to apply?</span></span></span></strong><span style="font-size: small;"><br />No, they're not!</span><br />Use our <a title="Find out more about organic body oil &gt;&gt;" href="http://www.soorganic.com/body/organic-body-lotion/organic-body-oil.html">organic body oil</a> top tips and you&rsquo;ll enjoy using body oil every day, you&rsquo;ll have non greasy super soft skin and your beauty budget will go further too.</p><p>Body lotions, the most popular product for moisturising skin are basically an emulsion of oil and water, plus fragrance, <em>(truly natural brands only use essential oils for scent, rather than synthetic fragrance). </em></p>

It will also benefit from a much greater concentration of the active ingredients and antioxidants being delivered straight into the skin.</p><p>You do need to wait a couple of minutes for your skin to dry and the oil to absorb before you get dressed but use this time to brush your teeth and apply your facial products and deodorant then it takes no longer than using body lotion.</p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="color: #888888;"><span style="font-size: small;">Try out our advice and see if you could make the switch. <br /><a title="Tell us what you think on twitter &gt;&gt;" href="http://www.twitter.com/SoOrganicShop" target="_blank">We&rsquo;d love to hear how it works for you.</a></span></span></strong></span></p>]]></description>
