Why nighttime works well
At night your skin is not dealing with wind, sun, or constant hand washing. A rich moisturizer has hours to stay on the skin. A short routine also helps you slow down at the end of the day.
The ritual, step by step
Start with a warm (not hot) shower or wash. Pat your skin until it is just damp. Warm a small scoop of butter between your palms. Press it into your driest areas first, like elbows, knees, and shins. Finish with your hands, heels, and cuticles. Take a few slow breaths while it settles.
Making it stick
Keep your jar on your nightstand, not in a drawer. Rituals last when they are easy and feel good. Most people notice a difference in how their skin feels within the first week.
