Quick answer
Apply Quercus Body & Hand Lotion to clean, slightly damp skin using gentle upward strokes for even absorption and a lingering oak-and-basil scent.
Why timing and skin prep matter
Lotion locks in moisture most effectively when skin is still warm and slightly damp from a bath or shower. Applying to dry skin reduces absorption and can leave a greasy feel.
For the Quercus scent to last, avoid rubbing the lotion in vigorously—pat and smooth instead to preserve the top notes of basil and clean white florals.
Step-by-step application guide
- Start with clean, slightly damp skin: After showering or washing your hands, pat dry until skin is just damp—not dripping. This helps the lotion spread evenly and lock in moisture. Applying to bone-dry skin reduces absorption; a little dampness is your friend.
- Pump a small amount into your palm: Use one pump per arm or leg, and half a pump for hands. You can always add more, but starting small prevents over-application. Too much lotion can feel sticky and overwhelm the scent. Build up gradually.
- Smooth upward in gentle, long strokes: Apply using upward motions on arms and legs, and circular motions on hands. Avoid vigorous rubbing—this breaks down the fragrance top notes. Rubbing back and forth can cause pilling. Stick to one direction.
- Let it absorb before dressing or layering perfume: Wait 60–90 seconds for the lotion to fully sink in. This prevents transfer to clothing and creates a better base for any fragrance you apply afterward. Dressing too soon can wipe off the lotion and mute the scent.
