Hand & Body Lotion Care & Use Guide: How to Apply, Layer & Store for Best Results
Learn how to apply Scentemy Hand & Body Lotion correctly, enhance fragrance longevity through layering, understand the skin benefits of key ingredients, and store your lotion properly for lasting performance.
How to Apply Lotion for Best Results
For optimal results, apply Hand & Body Lotion to clean, dry skin. Gently massage the lotion into the skin until fully absorbed. Regular application helps maintain hydration, improve skin texture, and support fragrance longevity.
Lotion is most effective when applied after bathing or showering, as warm skin absorbs moisture more efficiently and helps lock hydration into the skin barrier.
Focus on areas prone to dryness such as hands, arms, elbows, legs, feet, and décolletage. Reapply as needed throughout the day, especially after washing hands.
How to Layer Lotion for Longer-Lasting Fragrance (The Scentemy Layering Method)
Hand & Body Lotion plays a critical role in fragrance performance. Hydrated skin slows fragrance evaporation, allowing perfume oils to bind more effectively and last noticeably longer.
Step 1: Cleanse with a Matching Body Wash or Shower Gel
Start by cleansing with a Scentemy Body Wash or Shower Gel. This removes competing scents and prepares the skin for fragrance layering.
- Creates a clean scent base
- Prepares skin for moisture absorption
- Begins building the fragrance profile
Step 2: Apply the Matching Hand & Body Lotion
Apply the matching Scentemy Hand & Body Lotion while the skin is still slightly warm. This creates a moisturised foundation that helps fragrance cling to the skin and evaporate more slowly.
Focus on pulse points such as wrists, inner elbows, neck, chest, and behind the knees. Allow the lotion to absorb fully before applying perfume.
Step 3: Apply Perfume on Top
Once layered, apply perfume to pulse points. Because the fragrance profile is already present in the lotion, fewer sprays are required and the scent projects more smoothly.
Scentemy Tip: When lotion and perfume are layered correctly, fragrance becomes part of your presence — expect people to lean closer, ask what you’re wearing, and notice the scent long after you’ve left the room.
