How to Layer Bath Oils Into Your Routine

Layer bath oils by starting with dry brushing, adding 2-3 drops to running water, then sealing with body oil on damp skin post-bath.

Most people use ten times too much oil and wonder why their skin feels greasy instead of soft.

1. Prep Your Skin. Dry brush your body before running the bath to remove dead skin cells. This creates a smooth canvas that absorbs oils more effectively and prevents patches.
2. Add Oil to Running Water. Drop 2-3 drops of bath oil under the running faucet, not into still water. The agitation disperses the oil evenly instead of creating a slick that sits on top.
3. Keep It Brief. Limit your soak to 10-15 minutes maximum. Longer exposure to hot water strips natural oils from your skin, defeating the purpose of the oil treatment.
4. Pat and Seal. Exit the bath and gently pat skin until just damp, not bone dry. Apply a thin layer of body oil while skin is still slightly wet to lock in moisture and create a protective barrier.
