To facilitate its penetration into the skin , it is a good idea to apply it in small quantities after a shower or bath, on skin that is still slightly damp (after dabbing with a terry towel). Only apply as much oil as the skin can absorb.
A few drops in the palm of one hand are enough: rub the two palms together and distribute onto the skin, massaging to penetrate. Applied in this way, the oil leaves only a very thin protective film on the skin, making it smooth and satiny, without any “oily” effect.
