Quick answer

Apply Regenerating Body Oil to damp skin right after you towel off, while your skin is still slightly wet. Massage it in with light, upward strokes to lock in moisture and wake up your senses.

Why damp skin matters for body oil

Body oil works best on damp skin because it helps trap the water your skin just absorbed from the shower. If you wait until your skin is completely dry, the oil can feel heavier and less comfortable. The sweet spot is skin that is still slightly damp but not dripping.

How much oil to use and where to focus

Start with a small amount—about a teaspoon for each limb—and add more only if needed. Focus on areas that tend to feel dry, such as shins, elbows, and knees. For a lighter application, warm the oil between your palms first; this helps it spread further and absorb faster.

Massage tips for an energizing start

Use firm but gentle upward strokes toward your heart to boost circulation and help the oil absorb. The herbaceous scent of Regenerating Body Oil—with rosemary and black pepper—can feel invigorating, so take a few deep breaths as you massage. Avoid vigorous rubbing on sensitive or irritated skin.

Step-by-step after-shower routine

Pat dry, leave skin damp: After showering, gently pat your skin with a towel. Leave it slightly damp—not dripping—so the oil can seal in moisture. If your skin feels tight, you waited too long; re-dampen with a little water.
Warm a small amount of oil: Pour a teaspoon of Regenerating Body Oil into your palm and rub your hands together to warm it. Cold oil spreads less easily and may feel thicker.
Massage in upward strokes: Apply the oil to your legs, arms, and torso using gentle upward strokes. Use circular motions on dry areas like elbows and knees. Avoid pulling or tugging the skin; use more oil if needed.
Let it absorb before dressing: Wait a minute or two for the oil to absorb before putting on clothes. This prevents transfer and keeps the energizing scent with you. If you're in a hurry, blot excess oil with a tissue.
