If you have experienced the wonders of Colbert MD Illumino Face Oil (Reviewed Here), then you probably found yourself so in love with this beauty oil that you wanted to use it from head to toe, and thankfully Dr. Colbert did create Colbert MD Illumino Body Oil.

According to Dr. David Colbert, "Oils are naturally more gentle than most anti-aging products because they deliver the active ingredients deep into the skin without irritating the surface, and they create a dewy glow that lasts all day."

Oils tend to penetrate the skin deeper than traditional lotions and creams because they are lipophilic which allows them to pass through the lipid layer of the skin unobstructed, and this delivers moisture deeper and prevents water loss while simultaneously plumping the skin. Since oils offer a better delivery system than traditional creams and lotions, those with active ingredients (vitamins, retinols, anti-inflammatory ingredients, etc.) are delivered more efficiently and without irritating the surface of the skin. Additionally, oils create a protective occlusive barrier, and are said to protect the skin's acid mantle which means that by bolstering the skin's lipid barrier the skin is more protected against external environmental assaults. The essential fatty acids found in face oils replenish moisture levels, deliver deep hydration, and give skin a healthy glow while offering additional protection. 

Colbert MD Illumino Body Oil is an antioxidant rich and ultra nourishing body oil that is neither too watery, nor too thick in consistency. When applied to warm, damp skin it sinks in immediately, and visibly bolsters hydration. Skin is left velvety soft, supple, hydrated and deliciously luminous. In addition to the pronounced radiance the skin experiences from this outstanding oil, it also improves its overall texture. 

The oils selected by Dr. Colbert create a perfect cocktail that aids in cell repair, improves skin tone and texture, improves elasticity, improves suppleness, improves hydration, bolsters skin barrier function, and deeply nourishes. Illumino Body Oil has a light pleasant scent, that appears to be a fusion of the natural oils used, but it does fade quickly, and therefore won't pose a problem for people with sensitivities to fragrant skincare products.
