Body Butter Guide: How to Get Soft Skin That Lasts
If you live somewhere dry like we do here in Arizona, you know how fast skin can get rough and itchy. Body butter is one of the easiest fixes. Here's how to get the most out of it.
What Is Body Butter?
Body butter is a thick, rich moisturizer made mostly from plant butters and oils. It's heavier than lotion, so it's great for dry skin.
Our Soothing Aloe Hand & Body Butter is made with aloe vera, mango butter and shea butter. It feels rich, but it soaks in without feeling greasy. It comes in lots of scents, and in a glass jar too.
How to Use It
- Shower first. Use warm water, not hot.
- Pat dry. Leave your skin a little damp.
- Warm it up. Rub a small amount between your hands.
- Massage it in. Start at your feet and work up. Give extra love to elbows, knees and heels.
How Much Should I Use?
Less than you think! Start with a small scoop. You can always add more to dry spots.
When to Use It
- Right after your shower or bath.
- Before bed, on hands and feet.
- Anytime your hands feel dry after washing.
Our Tip
For really dry feet, put on body butter at night and wear cotton socks to bed. You'll wake up with softer heels.
