body oils are not creams
if you’ve been using body oils like a cream, you might be missing out on their full potential. the best way to apply body oils is on wet skin. right after turning off the shower, reach for your favorite body oil and pump it generously onto your wet skin. once you’re done, lightly towel off the remaining water. you’ll be amazed at how incredible your skin will feel.
understanding how body oils work is key to getting the best results. oils have two main properties that make them effective: first, they are emollients, meaning they lock in moisture and prevent water loss when applied to the skin. second, some oils are occlusive, creating a protective barrier on the skin that seals in hydration. macadamia oil, for example, is both an emollient and occlusive. our raw body oil is made with australian macadamia oil, giving you the best of both worlds.
applying hair oil
if you have curly hair like mine, which tends to be dry, using a hair oil can make a big difference. by applying hair oil to wet hair, you lock in moisture, helping to protect your hair from humidity, wind, and sun damage. the best time to apply hair oil is when your hair is fully saturated. as soon as the shower is off, before towel drying, apply the oil to your hair, focusing on the ends. for an extra boost, mix a couple of pumps of hair oil with a teaspoon of your favorite conditioner, then apply to wet hair for a perfect leave-in treatment.
bath oils
another great way to use oil is in the bath. add 3-4 pumps of oil directly to your bath water for an all-over skin treat.
