How to Apply Body Oils

You may be thinking of using body oils for any number of reasons. Body oils can help make the skin smooth and soft. Body oils can also help to relax you. In some cases, body oils have a nice fragrance that can last a long time once the body oil is applied. Applying body oils is not that difficult to do.


  1. Choose a body oil that is right for you. If you want one that is designed to make skin smooth and soft, choose a body oil that is designed for that purpose. If you want a body oil that has a lasting fragrance, choose one that is known to have a lasting scent. Visiting your local department store and talking to the sales staff will help you find out which body oils may be right for you.

  2. Make sure that your skin is clean before you apply the body oil. Take a warm shower or bath before you apply the body oil. The warm water will help to open up the pores in your skin. If you are taking a warm bath, adding some body oil to the water is a good idea.

  3. Start by applying a few drops of the body oil at a time. Thoroughly massage the oil into your skin. Your skin can be either wet or dry when you apply the body oil. Take your time and do not rush the process. It can be quite relaxing to slowly rub the body oil into your skin. If you are using scented body oil, remember to apply it to your pulse points so that the scent will last longer.

  4. Do not towel off after you apply the body oil. Let the body oil soak into your skin.
