How to Use Body Oils

Body oil is a great way to keep the body moisturized and improve the appearance of the skin. If the body oil is scented, the fragrance will stay on the skin until the body oil is washed up. To get the full benefit of body oil, it needs to be applied correctly.

• Apply body oil as soon as you get out of the shower. The heat from the shower will open up your pores and allow your body to absorb the body oil. This will make it more likely for the body oil to moisturize your skin and for the fragrance to remain on the skin longer.


• Add a few drops of body oil to your hands and rub them together. Rub the body oil down your legs from your thighs down to your ankles. You may need to add more oil to your hands as you rub.


• Add a few drop of body oil to your inner arm and use your hands to rub it all over you arm and into your skin. Concentrate on rubbing the oil around your wrists and elbows. The wrists and elbows are pulse points and will maintain the scent of the body oils throughout the day.


• Add a few drop of body oil to your hands, rub them together and rub the oil on your neck, should and under your jaw line. Concentrate on the area behind the ears, as this is another pulse point.


• Add more body oil to your hands and apply to the other areas of your body. If applying oil to the face, avoid getting it to close to you eyes, or hairline and the oil may burn your eyes and cause your hair to become oily.
