The most effective moment is within a few minutes after a shower or bath, when skin has been towel-dried but is still slightly damp. Skin loses moisture fastest right after bathing, and applying a butter at this point helps seal that moisture in before it evaporates. It also works well after exfoliation — freshly scrubbed skin absorbs care products more evenly, and a nourishing layer afterwards keeps it from feeling stripped.
A few practical points:
- Take a small amount and warm it briefly between your palms — the whipped texture melts easily and then spreads much further, so you rarely need a thick layer.
- Massage in with upward strokes and give extra attention to elbows, knees, shins and heels, where the skin is naturally drier.
- Let it absorb for a couple of minutes before dressing; because the texture is airy rather than dense, it should not leave a sticky film on clothes once it has settled.
- Thanks to the fresh orange scent, many people prefer it in the morning or after an evening shower as part of a regular routine rather than occasional use.
Store the jar away from direct heat: shea-based textures soften at high temperatures, and keeping it at normal room temperature preserves the whipped consistency. The 200 ml jar lasts a long time with daily use, since only a small portion is needed per application.
