See what’s trending in Body Care in 2014

Dry Oils

skincare14_whats new body_03It sounds like an oxymoron, but dry oils are trending at the moment, and here’s why:

They absorb neatly and plump up the skin, without a trace of oily residue. If you are skittish about using oils to moisturize your skin, these products are a good way to ease your way in and get used to the idea.

Shea Moisture Dry Oil Mists These come in several delicious natural scents—coconut & hibiscus, lavender, Tahitian noni & monoi, argan oil & raw shea—and do double duty: Spray into hair to add shine and a subtle fragrance. target.com

Caffeinated Beauty

Coffee is a vasoconstrictor, which means that it can make blood vessels constrict, temporarily. Its granular texture makes it an effective body exfoliator. And it’s a diuretic, said to tighten the skin, which is why it is so popular in cellulite creams.
