5 Mistakes People Make When Using Body Oils (and How to Fix Them)

Body oils can completely transform your skin if you use them correctly. But many people miss out on the full benefits by making simple mistakes. Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Here are the 5 most common mistakes and how to avoid them, so your body oil becomes an ally in your self-care journey.

 

Mistake #1: Skipping full-body coverage
👉 Fix: Don’t just focus on arms or legs. Massage oil into shoulders, chest, and hands for all-over nourishment.

Mistake #2: Using too much oil
👉 Fix: A few drops are enough. Your skin should feel nourished, not greasy.

Mistake #3: Rushing the ritual
👉 Fix: Massage the oil in for a minute. It boosts circulation and helps absorption.

Mistake #4: Not applying enough to last throughout the day
👉 Fix: Layer a small amount in the morning and reapply to particularly dry areas (elbows, knees, hands) midday if needed. This keeps skin nourished, soft, and hydrated all day long

Mistake #5: Forgetting to mix it up
👉 Fix: Alternate Creamy Coconut for hydration days, Dreamy Vanilla for relaxing evenings. Your skin and senses will love it.

By avoiding these common mistakes, you’re in control of your self-care ritual. Your body oils are just the trusted ally helping your skin stay nourished, radiant, and ready to glow every day.
