Learn the correct order to apply body oil alongside your Daily Dose Ritual for better absorption and lasting hydration.

Quick answer

Apply body oil immediately after your Daily Dose Ritual while skin is still slightly damp to lock in moisture and boost absorption.

Why layering order matters

The order you apply products directly affects how well each one works. Oil creates a barrier that can block water-based treatments if applied too early. By finishing your Daily Dose Ritual first and then applying body oil, you let your skin absorb the benefits of dry brushing and self-massage before sealing everything in.

Post-sauna timing tip

If you use an infrared sauna before your ritual, wait until your skin has cooled down and stopped sweating before starting the Daily Dose Ritual. Applying body oil on overheated skin can trap heat and reduce comfort. Once your skin is warm but not sweating, proceed with dry brushing and oil application.

How to layer body oil with your Daily Dose Ritual

Step 1: Complete your Daily Dose Ritual: Start with dry brushing using the included brush, following the body map to stimulate circulation and exfoliate. Then perform the self-oil massage with the Daily Dose Ritual oil. Rinse off in the shower if desired, or leave the oil on for deeper absorption. Common mistake: skipping the dry brush step reduces lymphatic benefits. Always dry brush before applying any oil.
Step 2: Pat skin until slightly damp: After rinsing or finishing the ritual, gently pat your skin with a towel. Leave it slightly damp—not soaking wet and not completely dry. Damp skin helps the body oil spread evenly and lock in moisture. Checkpoint: if your skin is fully dry, mist it lightly with water before applying oil.
Step 3: Apply Daily Body Oil all over: Pour a few drops of Daily Body Oil into your palms, rub them together, and press or smooth the oil onto your body. Start with your legs and arms, then move to your torso. Use upward strokes toward your heart to support circulation. Common mistake: using too much oil at once can lead to a greasy feel. Start with 3–4 drops and add more if needed.
Step 4: Let the oil absorb before dressing: Wait 2–3 minutes for the oil to fully absorb into your skin before putting on clothes. This prevents staining and ensures the oil works effectively. Checkpoint: if you're in a hurry, use a fan or cool setting on a hairdryer to speed up absorption.
