Remember, this is a rich salve. A little goes a long way! Apply as needed. For best results, to lock in moisture, apply to soft skin immediately after the shower. We scoop with a clean finger, warm and spread between hands and gently massage into skin allowing a few moments for absorption. When applying to completely dry skin, we like to blend a few drops of water in our hand to aid with absorption. For very dry skin, we also find it helpful to exfoliate in the shower and then immediately apply after towel drying. Fun tip: as a nighttime routine massage feet with Foot Care Butter and don some cozy socks.
