Dry, itchy skin caused by changing temperatures? Cooler temperatures and indoor heating can leave your body rough and uncomfortable, but a nourishing oil can restore softness fast. Korean body oils use lightweight, natural formulas to hydrate without greasiness, perfect for layering under creams. I tested three K-beauty favourites for two weeks to find the best for fall. Ready for supple, smooth skin? Here are my top picks!
1. The History of Whoo Cheongidan Hwaon Therapy Body Oil
The History of Whoo’s Cheongidan Hwaon Therapy Body Oil (200ml, ~USD 80) is a luxury pick infused with ginseng and herbal extracts for intense repair. Its silky, golden oil absorbs quickly, leaving a subtle sheen that soothes dry elbows and knees.

Pyunkang Yul ATO Nourishing Body Oil (100ml, ~ USD 22) is a gentle, fragrance-free oil designed for sensitive skin, using a simple mix of plant oils to repair and hydrate.
Its hypoallergenic formula soothes itchiness from fall dryness, and I noticed my rough patches on my legs softened after a week of nightly use. The oil spreads easily and absorbs well, leaving skin supple without shine, making it suitable for all ages.

I applied it after showering, and my arms and legs felt smooth for hours, with no sticky residue under clothes. The subtle, clean scent fades fast, and the dropper bottle makes it easy to control the amount, ideal for targeted spots like elbows or knees.

How to Use Korean Body Oils for Fall Skin
- Step 1: Shower with lukewarm water to open pores, then pat dry—don’t rub—to retain moisture.
- Step 2: Dispense 3–5 drops (or sprays) into palms and massage into body, focusing on dry areas like elbows, knees, and legs.
- Step 3: Layer a body lotion on top for extra hydration if needed, or use alone for light moisture.
- Step 4: Apply morning and night for best results, especially after bathing.
- Tip: Warm the oil between your hands for a better spread. Use a body brush for exfoliation before application to boost absorption, based on my tests.
