5 Body Firming Oils We’re Reaching for This Summer

We’ve talked about body firming creams before, but they’re not the only way to show your skin a little extra love this season. Body oils deserve a spot in the conversation, too. Not only do they help nourish and support firmer skin, they also leave behind a healthy-looking sheen that begs to be shown off in your warm weather outfit.

Don’t let the word “oil” scare you away. Many of today’s formulas are surprisingly lightweight, sinking into skin while delivering nourishing botanicals, antioxidants, and ingredients that help support elasticity and hydration. They can leave skin looking supple, glowing, and ready for whatever skin-baring plans summer has in store. Read on for five body oils that bring a little luxury to your daily routine.

Best for body sculpting:

Blank Body Beauty Sculpt Body Oil , $48

Think of this as contour in a bottle. Designed to visibly improve tone, texture, and elasticity, the nourishing formula also helps reduce the look of puffiness, thanks to arnica, while vitamin C brightens for more radiant-looking skin. And if you’re someone who loves a signature summer scent, the warm blend of caramelized plantain, soft florals, and vanilla might just become your new obsession.

Best for dry, dull skin:

Susanne Kaufmann Pomegranate Body Oil , $50

Consider this a tall glass of water for thirsty skin. Just a few drops deliver a powerhouse blend of pomegranate, sesame, and jojoba oils that help support elasticity and defend against early signs of aging. Millet extract and antioxidant-rich plant oils help revive dullness, leaving skin looking smoother, firmer, and naturally radiant.

Best for cellulite concerns:

Symbiome The Premise Postbiomic Body Oil , $95

Cellulite concerns? This innovative fermented body oil was practically made for you. Fermented green coffee oil delivers naturally occurring caffeine and chlorogenic acid to help visibly tone and brighten skin while minimizing the appearance of cellulite. Beyond that, the sebum-like formula helps restore the skin barrier with fermented botanicals and naturally occurring retinoids for smoother, healthier-looking skin overall.

Best lightweight firming oil:

Mila Moursi Body Oil , $142

If you’ve always been intrigued by body oils but worried they’ll leave skin feeling greasy, this luxurious formula is your gateway product. The fast-absorbing blend features kahai oil, rich in naturally occurring retinol and vitamin E, to support elasticity and improve texture, while camellia and sweet almond oils leave skin silky soft and hydrated without the heavier finish often associated with body oils.

Best overall firming oil:

Omorovicza Firming Body Oil , $85

If we had to crown one body oil the overachiever of the bunch, it would be this one. The luxurious formula helps address everything from dryness and loss of elasticity to the appearance of stretch marks, while plum almond oil and vitamin E work to support firmer, smoother-looking skin. Bonus: the aromatic blend turns your post-shower routine into a mini spa moment.
