Your after-shower routine doesn’t need to be complicated. Before reaching for your clothes, leave your skin slightly damp and take a moment to smooth on your body oil.
The key is damp, not dripping. You don’t need to step out of the shower soaking wet, and you don’t need to dry off completely first.
How to apply body oil after a shower
- Gently pat your skin with a towel, leaving a little moisture behind.
- Warm a small amount of body oil between your palms, following the directions on your bottle.
- Smooth it over your arms and legs. Add a little more where needed instead of starting with a large amount.
- Give the oil a moment to settle before getting dressed.
How much body oil should you use
Start small and adjust for the area you’re covering. Your arms may need less than your legs; a quick application is different from a full-body routine. If your skin feels coated, try less next time rather than adding another layer.
Should body oil go before or after lotion
If you use both, apply your lotion first, then a light layer of oil, unless your products direct otherwise. You don’t need to wet your skin again between steps. Keep the layers light and adjust to how your skin feels.
Can you apply body oil to dry skin
Follow your product’s directions. For The Banyo’s Petal Woods Aromatic Body Oil - 4oz, the suggested routine starts on damp skin after a shower. Make that your starting point rather than waiting until you’ve completely dried off.
Keep the ritual simple
You don’t need to exfoliate every time you use body oil. On an ordinary shower day, keep your routine gentle and finish with the steps above. If irritation occurs, discontinue use of the product.
