How should I apply the avocado oil for best results on dry skin?

Start by dispensing a small amount — about two to three drops for the face or a pea‑size portion for a hand or elbow — into your fingertips. Warm the oil by rubbing your hands together before pressing it gently onto skin that is still slightly damp from a shower or after washing; this helps the oil seal in moisture rather than sitting on top of dry skin. If you are using it on larger body areas such as knees, elbows or hands, you can apply a slightly larger amount, but avoid heavy layers on oily zones; a thin film is enough to soften rough patches without feeling greasy. For massage, spread the oil over the skin in slow, circular motions, allowing the natural fatty acids to glide and penetrate; you may combine a few drops with a carrier oil or essential oil if desired, but keep the total concentration low to prevent irritation. After application, let the oil absorb for a few minutes before dressing or going to bed, and store the bottle in a cool, dark place to preserve the vitamin E and phytosterols. If you notice any redness, itching or discomfort, discontinue use and perform a patch test on a small area of skin before future applications.
