For your hands:
1. Hold the bar in your palms for a few seconds to let your body heat melt the surface.
2. Gently rub the bar over your hands, focusing on dry spots and cuticles.
3. Set the bar down and massage the melted lotion into your hands until it is absorbed.
4. Since the formula is concentrated, a little goes a long way. Use sparingly to avoid a greasy feeling.
For your body:
1. For the best results, use the lotion bar on warm, slightly damp skin right after a shower or bath to lock in moisture.
2. Glide the bar directly onto dry areas like your arms, legs, knees, and elbows.
3. Use your hands to massage the oils and butters into your skin until fully absorbed.
4. For particularly rough or cracked areas, apply a more generous amount before bed and let it work overnight.
Proper storage:
1. Keep it cool and dry. Since lotion bars are solid at room temperature and melt with heat, you should store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
2. Use a container. Placing your bar in a reusable tin, jar, or soap dish will keep it clean and prevent it from melting onto surfaces.
Benefits of using a lotion bar:
1. Highly concentrated: Lotion bars are made without water, so they are a more potent and long-lasting moisturizer than traditional liquid lotions.
2. Zero-waste: They typically come in minimal or recyclable packaging, such as a tin or paper wrap, to help reduce plastic waste.
Travel-friendly: Their solid form means they won't leak or spill and are TSA-friendly.
