What is the best way to apply it and how much should I use?

Shake the bottle before each use to redistribute any settled plant-derived components. Pour a modest amount — roughly a teaspoon for a lower leg, a tablespoon for the whole back — into the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together briefly to warm the oil to body temperature; this improves glide and makes the initial contact more comfortable. Apply with long, even strokes using the whole hand or forearm, adjusting pressure to the recipient’s preference. The vegetable oil base is designed to maintain slip without drying out, so you rarely need to reapply during a typical 20–30 minute massage. If the skin absorbs oil quickly (very dry skin), add a few more drops rather than a large pour. After the session, the oil leaves a soft, supple film; you can leave it on as a body oil or wipe excess with a warm towel if you prefer a drier feel. Because the capsicum heat continues to develop for a few minutes after application, avoid immediately covering the area with tight clothing or heavy blankets until you know how the warmth feels on that person’s skin.
