How to Use Body Oil: A Step-by-Step Guide for Glowing Skin

Wondering when to apply body oil or whether it goes before or after lotion? Start with slightly damp skin, use a small amount, and give the oil time to absorb before dressing.

Here’s how to make Ojije Glow Body Oil part of your routine.

Step 1: Gently Cleanse Your Skin

Shower or bathe using a cleanser that suits your skin. If your skin tends to feel dry, choose a gentle cleanser and avoid very hot water.

Step 2: Leave Skin Slightly Damp

Gently pat your skin with a towel rather than drying it completely. Your skin should feel slightly damp, without water dripping from it.

Applying body oil at this stage helps retain moisture from bathing.

Step 3: Apply Your Moisturizer If You Use One

Body oil can complement lotion or cream. If you use both, apply your moisturizer first, followed by a light layer of oil.

Oil doesn’t add water to skin. For very dry skin, a fragrance-free cream or ointment may provide a useful foundation.

Step 4: Smooth On a Small Amount of Oil

Dispense a little oil into your palms and gently spread it over your arms, legs, and body.

Start with a thin layer and add more where needed. There’s no universal number of drops: the right amount depends on the area you’re covering and your preferred finish.

Step 5: Let It Absorb Before Dressing

Allow the oil to settle into your skin before putting on clothes.

Ojije offers a buildable glow. A lighter application absorbs more fully, while a heavier application creates a more luminous finish and may transfer onto clothing.

Can You Apply Body Oil to Dry Skin?

Yes. You can reapply a small amount to dry skin for softness or a glow refresh. Applying after bathing, while skin is slightly damp, is a useful starting point for your daily routine.

How Often Should You Use Body Oil?

Use it as part of your routine and adjust according to how your skin feels. You don’t need to apply a thick layer each time.

Check the ingredients and stop using a product if it irritates your skin.
