How should I apply Botanika shea butter oil to dry skin areas like elbows or heels? — Cosmetic oil Shi 30 ml - Botanika(maslo shi) (масло ши)

Start with a pea‑sized amount of the shea butter oil on clean fingertips. Rub it between your palms until it melts into a smooth, spreadable texture. Apply the melted butter to the dry area—such as elbows, heels or knees—using gentle, circular motions until it forms a thin, even layer. Because the product is occlusive, a little goes a long way; using more than needed can leave a greasy feel and may slow absorption. If your skin is not used to heavy textures, begin with once‑daily application and observe how it feels after a few hours; you can increase to twice daily if the skin tolerates it well. For best results, apply after a shower or wash while the skin is still slightly damp, as this helps lock in surface moisture. Store the jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the butter from becoming too soft or grainy. If you notice any redness, itching or discomfort, discontinue use and consider a patch test on a small area of forearm before trying again.
