Afternoon beauty fix: The secret to moisturizing sans staining

Natural oils are great for moisturizing, but they’ve ruined a few of my silk blouses. How can I get the moisture without staining? We recommend looking for a product that contains natural ingredients, including water, to aid in absorption. Jojoba oil has a similar consistency to wax, and when it’s applied, it sends a signal to your skin that it’s plenty moisturized—no further oil production necessary. We’ve found solace in Nivea’s Pure & Natural Body Milk moisturizer ($9, at drugstores). It has both jojoba and argan oils plus plenty of water and rich fat from cocoa beans to hydrate your skin and save your fave silks.
