How to Apply Body Oil So It Never Feels Greasy

Step one: start with clean body skin

You can apply body oil to damp or dry skin. Damp skin usually gives the oil more slip and can make a small amount easier to spread. Dry skin gives you more control over exactly where it goes. Choose the method that feels best to you.

Step two: less than you think

Dispense a small amount, spread it, then add more only where needed. The right amount varies with the area covered, the formula, and your preferred finish.

Step three: press, don't rub

Warm the oil between your palms for a beat, then apply it in long strokes from neck to ankle, with extra attention to elbows and knees. Finish by pressing with your palms. This is the heart of the ritual: warm, press, glow.

Finish by formula

Our Bare formula has the lightest, matte-silk finish. Golden is silky and luminous. Midnight is the richest and most satin-dewy. How quickly each feels absorbed varies with the amount applied and your skin. Every finish is offered across the Fresh, Floral, Amber, and Woody scent families.
