That's because "oil dissolves oil, making cleansing oils a great way to eliminate not only makeup but also the general dirt and grime," explains board-certified dermatologist Hadley King, M.D. But beyond that, oils have the added benefit of being nourishing for the skin. "Regular soap with detergent ingredients strips skin of its natural oils and leaves the skin dry and irritated," notes Dr. King. Talk about a centerpiece for your shower. Like a jumbo version of the J’adore perfume, this fancy Dior shower oil has the same scent without being overbearing. Reviewers note that this leaves their skin incredibly smooth without drying it out or leaving residue. Most say they use it in their bathtub for a more luxurious, relaxing experience, but it does lather in the shower if you’re not a bath person.

What’s especially unique about this shower oil is, when mixed with warm water, it changes from an oil to a creamy lather that cleanses the skin sans stripping it. It’s also formulated with a blend of botanical oils, including coconut, sunflower, safflower, oil, sesame, and ultra-moisturizing meadowfoam, to name a few. Meanwhile, the orange blossom neroli blend adds a subtle fresh scent. If you’ve ever wondered what the deal is with shower oils, we can assure you that you are not alone. It’s clear that they’re for showering, but do they actually clean your skin? Should you use soap and then follow up with the oil? You might also be asking, “Why would I want to put oil on my body in the first place when I’m trying to rinse off?” Because the very concept of shower oil raises more questions than answers, you likely ignored using one in favor of your usual gel or bar soap. But the confusion ends today. We tapped some skin-care experts to explain everything about shower oils and why you might actually benefit from using them.Before you even begin browsing the best shower oils, you may be wondering what they are or how they work — which is why we tapped California-based, board-certified dermatologist Divya Shokeen, MD. Per the dermatologist, shower oils are a “type of cleansing product used in place of traditional soap or shower gel.” She also tells Allure that the best shower oils are “designed to cleanse the skin without stripping it of its natural oils, leaving it feeling nourished and hydrated.” This oil is perfect for anyone looking for something clean, simple, and fragrance free (especially for those with eczema or sensitive skin). Senior shopping editor Bianca Nieves uses hers whenever she has a flare-up. Plus, the mild cleanser contains natural omega oils that relieve itchy skin and moisturize.

Calling all citrus lovers. The mandarin shower oil from Le Labo is perfect for anyone who loves an easy, yet elevated routine. The fragrant shower oil gently cleanses and moisturizes all at once. Once applied, it lathers up to a milky texture and leaves your skin smelling like fresh oranges. Dr. Lily Talakoub, a board-certified dermatologist and fellow of the American Board of Dermatology, says shower oil is a soap-free cleanser made without a surfactant, which works like an emulsifier. Most are formulated with an ingredient that allows the oil to transform into a milky texture as soon as it hits water, and you can use it in lieu of soap or body wash. Though they may seem indulgent (and some are), they are also a handy tool in stopping dry, itchy skin before it starts, which is especially important during colder fall and winter months. Maya, here! The Cut’s Beauty Director-at-large here with some added advice: What’s great about shower oils is that the formula is versatile enough to be used year-round, so it’s best suited for every season. However, if you’re prone to dry skin, you should definitely reach for this formula more during the summer and winter months. Why? Well, the harsh weather during that time of year tends to take an extra toll on dry skin types. Shower oils function as an occlusive, which means they create a protective barrier on the skin for added hydration. So during summer heat strokes, when your skin is dried out from sun exposure and chlorine during pool days, this barrier keeps dehydration at bay. And when you face all of the elements in brisk and cold winter months, shower oils replenish the skin with ample amounts of moisture when used daily. New Yorkers Should Line Up Behind the City’s Janitors New Yorkers Should Line Up Behind the City’s JanitorsThis shower oil is the most “liquid-y” of the bunch thanks to an apricot seed oil that lathers into a milky broth. Its tuberose fragrance is so intense that we guarantee people will inquire about your perfume. If you’re a tuberose fan, you’ll love the scent-clinging factor, but if you prefer a less fragranced experience, you’ve been warned. You could also try Diptyque’s L’Ombre dans l’Eau, which the brand helpfully describes as “the story of daydreams, a calm river, a summer slumber under a weeping willow.” (Hou loves this one too, especially in the Philosykos or Fig scent.) It comes as no surprise that this Best of Beauty-winning skin-care brand — a recipient of the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance — makes one of the best shower oils on the market for sensitive skin. But don’t just take it from us: “This product is a sulfate-free cleanser designed for sensitive and eczema-prone skin,” Dr. Camp attests. Ingredient highlights include soothing aloe vera and ultra-versatile glycerin, along with a combination of jojoba, sunflower, and apricot kernel oils to nourish, soften, and smooth skin.

Creme de Corps shower oil is definitely worthy of praise. It’s got a smooth vanilla-and-almond scent that is grown-up but not boring. The fragrance didn’t last, but that makes it perfect if you don’t want to be draped in one particular scent for eight hours straight. Your skin will also feel very soft post-shower — no surprise, as there are close to a dozen different oils in each bottle. You probably remember your first encounter with an oil cleanser. The concept of washing your face with oil (especially if you have oily skin) seemed totally crazy when it first became popular, but it turned out to make total scientific sense. Get ready to feel like you’re wrapping your skin in pure silk after applying this luxurious formula, which features the plushest texture that feels like a moisturizing hug. The gentle oil nourishes all skin types with its soothing ingredients: white tea and jasmine extracts, glycerine, and surfactants. The botanical blend is safe for sensitive skin and will not strip the skin barrier of any natural oils. It feels weighty and luxe, but not too heavy. And if you’re dealing with any inflammation or irritations, the calming ingredients will settle and relax flare-ups. Lather this product in your hands before washing in the shower for a soothing cleanse that nourishes flaky, dehydrated, and irritated skin. If you and fragrance don’t get along, this has zero scent, and it’s also approved by the National Eczema Association. According to reviewers, it also works as a gentle cleanser for your face that effectively removes makeup without leaving behind any dryness.

Our Top Picks:

As with facial cleansing oil, shower oils also offer better skin benefits for your body. "Regular body wash can strip the skin of natural oils, whereas shower oils not only don't strip but replenish moisture," says board-certified dermatologist Dendy Engelman, M.D. So basically, if you're looking for clean, hydrated skin, these body cleansing oils are the answer. If you really want to leave you skin soft and moisturized, you can even use a body oil after your shower — such as the celeb-loved Osea Undaria Agae Body Oil.
