Why Add a Body Oil to Your Routine
A botanical body oil can help your skin feel soft and look hydrated without feeling heavy. These fast-absorbing oils are made from plant, seed, and nut oils rich in vitamin E, which supports skin softness and hydration. They also work well for hair and bath routines, making them a versatile addition to your self-care lineup.
How to Apply Body Oil for Best Results
For the most even coverage and absorption, apply body oil to slightly damp skin after a shower or bath. The oil locks in moisture without needing a thick layer.
- Step 1: Start with clean, damp skin: Pat yourself dry, leaving skin slightly damp. This helps the oil spread evenly and absorb quickly.
- Step 2: Dispense a small amount: Use a few drops or a small pump — you can always add more. The Bourbon Botanical Body Oil now comes with a pump top for easy dispensing.
- Step 3: Warm the oil in your hands: Rub your palms together to warm the oil, then apply in gentle, upward strokes.
- Step 4: Focus on dry areas: Pay extra attention to elbows, knees, and hands. These areas benefit from the nourishing oat, calendula, and aloe extracts found in these oils.
- Step 5: Let it absorb before dressing: Wait a moment for the oil to sink in. Because these oils are fast-absorbing, you won't have to wait long.
Beyond the Body: Hair and Bath Uses
These botanical body oils are versatile enough for hair and bath routines. For hair, apply a few drops to damp ends to smooth flyaways and add shine. For a bath, add a few pumps to warm water for a moisturizing soak. The Hinoki + Fern Botanical Body Oil, with its forest-inspired scent, is especially nice for a relaxing bath experience.
