Dry and dull skin can occur at any time of the year, especially, during the winter and summer months. In the summer, the skin is exposed to more sun causing the skin to need extra protection and hydration.

Body oils contain elements that not only moisturizes the skin but contains other elements that are beneficial to other parts of the body and not just the skin.
