How to Apply Body Oils Correctly

Body oils – your intensive care ritual with powerful active ingredients! A nourishing body oil cares for your skin and gives you real moments of well-being. In this article, you will learn how to apply body oils correctly and get the most out of your favorite oil.

On damp skin

On damp skin, your body oil spreads more easily and absorbs faster because the moisture allows your skin to better absorb the active ingredients. Therefore, gently massage a small amount of the body oil into the still damp skin using circular motions.

Body lotion X Body oil

Intensify the effect of your body lotion by mixing in your body oil if your skin is very dry. To do this, put a small amount of your chosen body lotion in your hand and add a few drops of body oil. Mix both carefully and massage the care into your skin with gentle movements.

The extra care

You can also use your body oil as extra care on particularly dry areas of skin such as elbows, knees, ankles, and hands, or as nail care for nails and cuticles.

As hair oil

Body oil for hair too? Of course, it works! The valuable ingredients in body oils are also good for damaged, dry hair. Work a few drops of your body oil into the lengths and ends. The nourishing ingredients provide shiny and healthy-looking hair.

As a bath additive

Bathing relaxes body and soul. Your body oil can also be used here. You can simply use it as a bath additive to give your skin extra care. Add a few drops of the oil to the running bath water and then it’s time to relax.

As a gentle body scrub

Mix two tablespoons of your favorite body oil with one tablespoon of sugar, salt, coffee, or oats. Apply the scrub in circular motions to the desired body areas, let it sit briefly, and rinse off with warm water.

In every season

Body oils are by no means just for winter. Despite their rich texture, they can enhance your beauty routine all year round. Even in summer, they provide excellent moisture care and give your legs, arms, shoulders, and décolleté a delicate glow and naturally soft skin. Additionally, the light, pleasant scents perfectly match the good summer mood.

Wellness massage with your beauty oil

Take a moment for yourself and enjoy a soothing massage with your body oil. Here is a simple guide to help you pamper your skin.

Prepare and Warm Up

Create a pleasant atmosphere. Dim the lights, light a candle, and play soothing music in the background.

Put a small amount of the body oil into your palms and gently rub them together to warm the oil slightly.

Apply and spread

Start at the feet and slowly work your way up. Apply the oil in circular motions to promote circulation.

Use long, gentle strokes along the muscles. Be careful not to apply too much pressure, especially on sensitive areas.

Massage tense areas like the shoulders and neck with small, circular movements. Take your time and feel the muscles relax.

Breathe consciously and relax afterwards

Don't forget to breathe deeply and evenly. This will help you relax even more. Let the oil absorb for about 15 minutes before getting dressed. Enjoy the feeling of relaxation and the soft, well-cared-for skin.

How often you should use body oil

Normal skin will enjoy the care of a body oil two to three times a week.
For particularly needy skin or in winter, you can also replace or mix your body lotion with the oil and massage it in daily.
Either way, you will notice that your skin feels smooth and well cared for through regular use. And you can never have too many little moments of relaxation. Even better if your skin benefits from it too.
