A soft, dreamy complexion doesn't happen by accident.
If you’ve ever slathered on a thick layer of body butter only to feel greasy for hours… or if you’ve skipped it because you thought it was too “heavy” for daily life, trust us, you’re not alone.
Body butter is pure magic when you know how to use it right. And once you get the hang of it? Say hello to skin that’s soft, glowing, and totally touchable.
At Mintree, we’re all about making self-care feel simple and luxurious. Our range of Natural Body Butter / organic body butter, Body Butter Cream, and even Body Butter Scrub is packed with skin-loving goodness, without any heavy chemicals or weird stickiness. Just pure, creamy hydration the way your skin has been asking for.
Whether you're brand new to the world of body butters or just need a better way to use your favorites, here’s the ultimate, no-fuss guide you’ll actually want to follow.
What Even Is Body Butter?
Think of organic body butter as your skin’s best friend when it needs extra love.
It’s thicker than a lotion, richer than a cream, and designed to deeply nourish, soften, and protect your skin.
Body butters are packed with natural oils and butters like shea, cocoa, or almond; perfect for locking in moisture, especially if you’ve got dry, flaky, or tired-looking skin.
Step-by-Step: How to Apply Body Butter (Without Feeling Like a Greaseball)
1. Timing is Everything
The absolute best time to apply your Natural Body Butter?
Right after your shower.
When your skin is slightly damp (not dripping wet), it’s more absorbent. The water on your skin helps pull the hydration from the butter deep into your skin, rather than sitting on top.
Mintree Tip - Don’t towel-dry completely. Pat yourself gently, then get to buttering!
2. Warm It Up Between Your Palms
Scoop a small amount of body butter cream onto your hands, rub your palms together, and let your body heat melt it slightly.
This makes it easier to spread and absorb without leaving that heavy layer behind.
Bonus - The natural warmth also activates the nourishing oils inside Mintree’s organic body butter, giving you a better glide and feel.
3. Apply in Sections
Focus on one area at a time; arms, legs, stomach, etc.; instead of rushing to coat your whole body at once.
Use gentle, circular motions. Massage it in lovingly, your skin deserves it. And don't forget typically ignored spots like elbows, knees, heels, and even the back of your hands!
4. Layer If Needed
If your skin is extra dry (winter, we’re looking at you), apply a light layer first, let it absorb for 2-3 minutes, and then go over with another thin coat.
Mintree Tip - No need to pile it on thick. Body butter is concentrated, start with a small amount, and add more only if needed.
What About Body Butter Scrubs?
Good question.
A Body Butter Scrub (like Mintree’s) is a scrub-and-moisturizer hybrid. It gently exfoliates while moisturizing your skin at the same time. Use it once or twice a week in the shower for a quick exfoliation that already leaves your skin feeling like velvet.
How to use it?
-
Wet skin
-
Scoop some body butter scrub
-
Gently rub in circular motions
-
Rinse off (no soap needed afterward)
It’s basically the lazy girl’s hack to soft, glowy skin. ;)
Common Mistakes to Avoid with Body Butter
-
Slathering on too much at once (a little really does go a long way)
-
Applying on bone-dry, rough skin (use after bathing or a quick rinse)
-
Using it only in winter (summer skin loves it too, especially after sun exposure!)
-
Forgetting tough spots like heels, knees, and elbows
Who Should Be Using Body Butter?
Short answer? Everyone.
Long answer? Whether you’re dealing with -
