The role of a rich moisturiser
A butter-style moisturiser usually has a rich, 
substantial texture. Formulas range from dense balms 
to whipped creams, so the name alone does not 
reveal the full composition.
Cleansing removes surface dirt and residue. 
Moisturising follows to help skin feel softer and reduce 
moisture loss.
After cleansing, a body butter can serve as the 
moisturising step. Use it where the texture feels 
comfortable.

Moisturising after bathing
01 Bathe gently
Use warm water and a gentle cleanser. Keep bathing brief when skin feels dry.
02 Pat skin lightly
Blot with a soft towel, leaving skin slightly damp. Apply moisturiser promptly.
03 Smooth on a comfortable layer
Follow the label. Begin with a modest amount and add more where needed.
04 Adjust to your skin
Allow the product to settle before dressing. Reapply when skin feels dry.

Textures for changing needs
Dry-feeling areas A richer cream or balm-like texture may feel more 
comfortable on specific areas.
Warm or humid weather A lighter lotion or cream may be easier to wear. Adjust 
the amount if a rich finish feels heavy.
Cooler or drier weather A more substantial texture may suit your preference. 
Let skin comfort guide the choice.
When comparing a natural body butter with other body-care options, check the ingredient list 
and directions. “Natural” does not guarantee suitability for sensitive skin.
