The $12 product that transformed my dull skin in seconds.'

Look, if you've been watching Married At First Sight lately (all of us), you might've spotted a certain body oil making an appearance during Intimacy Week. You know the one —- it was being wielded by a very awkward groom attempting to give his bride a massage.

Spoiler: He did a terrible job.

Watch: Speaking of body care, here's Erin Docherty's hack for dry heels. Post continues below.

BUT! The important thing is that it reminded me that Palmer's do more than just their cult classic Cocoa Butter Formula Body Lotion — which, for the record, I was wildly obsessed with in high school (I literally carried a mini travel version around in my school bag for max hydration all day, everyday. Bless).

I'm talking about Palmer's Cocoa Butter Moisturising Body Oil.

I recently got my hands on it — and as someone who's currently pregnant (in case you missed it 456 times before), my dry, itchy, tight skin is very pleased I did.

What is Palmer's Cocoa Butter Moisturising Body Oil?

It's exactly what it says on the bottle — a lightweight body oil packed with good stuff like Cocoa Butter and vitamin E. It promises to deliver instant hydration and radiance, which is exactly what my summer-ravaged skin needed.

The best part? It's about $12 (depending on sales) and you can grab it from the chemist. We love an affordable gem!

How did you go with it?

Very well, actually. Between the summer heat and growing a baby, my skin has been on... a journey. Thirsty. Dull. Kinda scaly. Feels a bit uncomfy.

The thing I love most about this formula is how beautifully lightweight it feels — it absorbs quickly and leaves no sticky residue behind. And while some body oils and creams tend to butt heads with my sensitive skin — it plays along very nicely.

Here's what it looks like:

One of the major upsides? The instant radiance. Gah — it makes your skin look a million times better. Healthier. Like you do Pilates five times a week and actually drink water.

How to use it.

This guy slips into your routine with ease. While I'm still waiting for my full-body massage offer (Tyson, if you're reading this… hello), I've been applying it to my damp skin post-shower, focusing on those extra dry areas (lizard legs).

Pro tip: Add a few drops to your bath for an extra luxe experience. Feels like you're at a spa.

The verdict.

If you're looking to level up your body care routine without dropping serious cash (yes, it's possible), this is it.

Not only does it feel way more expensive than it is, but it actually delivers on its promises.

Yes! That awkward MAFS massage actually led us to a real beauty gem. How good.
