Body oils are one of the most versatile tools in skincare — but most people only scratch the surface of what they can do. From in-shower treatments to glow-boosting makeup hacks, here are 7 expert-level body oil techniques using Braes bestsellers.
Hack #1: The In-Shower Oil Rinse
Forget applying oil after your shower. The real hack? Apply Braes Booty Oil while you're still in the shower, all over your body, then rinse with water. The water emulsifies the oil, spreading a thin hydrating film over every inch of skin. When you step out and pat dry, your skin is instantly soft — no greasy residue, no extra steps.
Hack #2: Lock-In Moisture with the Oil Sandwich
The "oil sandwich" method is a game changer for dry skin. Apply your regular body lotion first, then while skin is still slightly damp, layer Booty Oil on top. The oil acts as a seal over the lotion, trapping all that water-based hydration inside your skin. This keeps skin visibly plump and moisturized all day long — especially powerful on knees, elbows, and heels.
Hack #3: The Golden Hour Glow-Up Before You Go Out
Apply Braes Golden Hour Shimmering Dry Oil to your legs, arms, collarbones, and shoulders 15–20 minutes before heading out. The fast-absorbing formula powered by the Braes Glow Complex™ (Papaya & Guava Extracts + Vitamin C + Coconut Oil) leaves a natural, sun-kissed shimmer that photographs beautifully and lasts through the night.
Hack #4: Mix Golden Hour into Your Foundation
Add 1–2 drops of Golden Hour Dry Oil directly into your liquid foundation before applying. The result is a luminous, skin-like finish that no powder can replicate. Vitamin C and tropical fruit extracts give your complexion a lit-from-within glow — perfect for a dewy, glass-skin makeup look.
Hack #5: Body Oil as After-Shave Soother
Put down the chemical-laden aftershave. Booty Oil is a perfect natural alternative — pat a few drops onto freshly shaved legs or bikini area immediately after shaving. Sweet Almond Oil soothes razor irritation, Safflower Oil helps prevent ingrown hairs and hyperpigmentation, and Grapeseed Oil tightens pores to reduce redness. Your skin will feel baby soft in minutes.
Hack #6: Use Golden Hour as a Hair Shine Serum
Golden Hour Shimmering Dry Oil isn't just for skin — it works brilliantly as a multi-use hair finishing oil. Rub 1–2 drops between your palms and smooth through the mid-lengths and ends of dry hair. It tames flyaways, adds mirror-like shine, and leaves behind a beautiful tropical Mango & Peach scent.
Hack #7: The 10-Minute Weekly Firming Massage
Once or twice a week, dedicate 10 minutes to a focused massage with Booty Oil on areas that need firming — thighs, glutes, stomach, and upper arms. Use circular kneading motions and upward strokes to stimulate circulation. Consistent weekly use delivers visible improvements in skin texture and tone within 4–6 weeks.
