Getting the most from a natural body butter

Apply it to damp skin

This is the single change that makes the biggest difference. A body butter does not add water to your skin — it seals in the water that is already there. Applied to bone-dry skin, there is much less to seal.

Pat yourself mostly dry after a shower, leave the skin slightly damp, and apply then.

Use less than you think

Our Body Treats butter is a blend of coconut oil, aloe vera and beeswax rather than a watered-down lotion, so a small amount covers a surprising area. If it feels greasy, you have used too much.

Warm it between your palms first — it melts on contact and spreads far more easily.

Why it behaves differently in winter

Natural butters firm up when it is cold and soften when it is warm. That is what an unadulterated butter does, and it says nothing about the quality. Warm the jar in your hands for a moment and it works exactly as it should.
