    During the winter my skin gets very dry, and I have found that bath oil is a great help, and I also use it whenever I want to lie back and enjoy a nice long soaking bath - my skin feels great after wards.

    The bath oil disperses in the water, so you will not be bathing in-between oil slicks, but will only luxuriate in a soft and soothing bath.
