The Best Times to Use Body Butter, and When You’re Skipping It Wrong
Using body butter might seem simple—scoop, slather, and go. But did you know when you use it can make a massive difference in how effective it is?
The truth is, timing matters. Whether you're trying to soothe dry patches or maintain silky skin year-round, applying body butter at the right moments can maximize moisture retention and boost skin nourishment.
Let’s walk through the best times to use body butter—and when skipping it might be a big mistake.
⏰ 1. Right After a Shower or Bath
This is the golden hour for applying body butter. After a warm shower, your pores are open, and your skin is damp—perfect conditions for locking in hydration.
Pro Tip:
Pat your skin dry gently, then apply 360Feel Body Butter within 3 minutes of toweling off for the deepest absorption.
🌙 2. Before Bed
Your skin goes into repair mode overnight, making bedtime the ideal moment to deeply nourish dry or rough areas.
A generous layer of 360Feel’s Lavender Patchouli Body Butter calms both your skin and senses, creating a soothing bedtime ritual.
🌤 3. During Harsh Weather
Cold winter air, dry indoor heat, and even summer sun exposure can strip your skin of moisture. Body butter acts as a shield and conditioner in extreme climates.
Use Tangerine Grapefruit for its invigorating citrus scent and skin-soothing oils.
💼 4. On High-Friction Areas Before Dressing
Areas like elbows, knees, hands, and heels often get irritated from clothing friction. Prepping them with a rich body butter minimizes chafing and promotes softness.
💆♀️ 5. After Shaving or Waxing
Body butter helps reduce redness and irritation while replenishing the skin’s moisture barrier.
Try Asian Tea Blossom for a light, non-greasy floral finish.
