How do I use Botanika Mango Oil 30 ml on dry skin areas such as elbows, knees, and hands?

Start with a small amount – typically 2-3 drops – onto the palm of your hand. Rub the oil between your fingertips to warm it, then apply to the target area while the skin is still slightly damp from a shower or wash; this helps lock in moisture. Massage in circular motions until the oil is absorbed, which usually takes a few seconds. If the skin feels greasy, use less next time; if it still feels dry after a few minutes, you can add another drop or two. For very rough patches like elbows or knees, you may press the oil in a bit longer to allow the lipids to soften the surface. Because the oil is concentrated, avoid applying large quantities at once; building up gradually lets you gauge your skin’s tolerance. If you have known sensitivity to cosmetic oils or very reactive skin, perform a patch test on a small area (e.g., inner forearm) and wait 24 hours before wider use. The oil can also be smoothed over hands after washing, especially in cold weather, to reduce roughness.
