How to Do the Butter Board Method for Your Body

Layer body butter like charcuterie on your skin, spreading and pressing in sections for maximum hydration absorption.

1. Prep your canvas. Start with damp skin right after showering or bathing. Pat dry but leave skin slightly moist - this creates the perfect base for butter absorption.
2. Portion your butter. Take generous dollops of body butter and place them strategically across your body like ingredients on a board. Think elbows, knees, shins, anywhere that gets dry.
3. Spread and press. Work each dollop in circular motions, then press firmly into skin. The key is pressure - you're not just rubbing, you're pushing moisture deep into layers.
4. Layer if needed. Add more butter to stubborn dry spots and repeat the press technique. Your skin should feel plump and sealed, not greasy or slick.
