How To Use By Katia’s Body Oil?

The new formula builds on the grounding practice BY KATIA has created through its line of body care, offering a moment of intentional self-care. There are several ways to incorporate this oil into your ritual.

The Complete BY KATIA Shower Ritual (Recommended)

For the full sensorial experience, begin with your chosen Body Brush method, dry or wet. This oil becomes the perfect completion to your brushing practice.

1. Dry or wet brush to awaken your lymphatic system and prepare skin
2. Cleanse with BY KATIA Body Cleansing Oil
3. Turn off the water once clean
4. Apply to damp skin while still in the shower

The water, combined with the oil, is optimal for permeating the skin and sealing in long-lasting hydration. This method allows the formula to penetrate most effectively.

After Shower or Bath

Apply as the final step in your bathing ritual. Lightly pat skin with a towel, leaving it slightly damp, then smooth over your body in slow, intentional strokes.

Anytime Skin Needs Love

Use whenever your skin calls for nourishment. Whether morning or evening, this moisturising body oil offers a quiet, sensorial moment that lasts, grounding you through intentional touch.

The Pause That Matters

Whichever method you choose, take a breath before beginning. Notice the weight of the bottle in your hand. Feel the oil warming against your palms. Let this moment be yours, a daily ritual of self-love, your way.

Why Apply to Damp Skin?

This formula is specifically designed to be applied to damp, lightly towel-dried skin. The science behind this approach is simple yet powerful: moisture acts as a conduit, helping the oil sink deeper into the skin’s layers.

When you apply to damp skin, the water content enhances penetration and helps seal in hydration below the surface. This is where the formula excels; it works with your skin’s moisture rather than sitting atop it like many creams do.

The result is deeply nourished, naturally radiant skin with a finish that feels comfortable, never greasy.

The Ritual of Body Oil

“Incorporating your BY KATIA bathroom ritual is a daily reminder to give love back to your body, to pause, return to yourself and let intentional touch do its quiet work,” shares Co-Founder Erika Ascenzo.

Your ritual is not about perfection, it’s about creating a moment of escapism in an increasingly fast-paced world. As you smooth this natural body oil over damp skin, you’re not simply nourishing your body’s surface. You’re acknowledging its needs and honouring the vessel that carries you through life.

This is the art of slowing down. Of feeling each stroke as a meditation. Of watching your skin absorb care, layer by layer, until what remains is softness and quiet gratitude.

The Ritual Experience

This oil transforms self-care into ritual. The act of application becomes a practice of mindfulness, presence, and deep respect for the body you inhabit.

Old Wisdom, New Ritual

The art of anointing the body with oil is ancient. Across cultures and generations, this simple act has served as both practical care and spiritual practice. BY KATIA honours this lineage with a formula that respects both tradition and innovation.

“The new body oil builds on the grounding practice we’ve created through BY KATIA’s line of bodycare to offer a moment of escapism in an increasingly fast-paced world,” shares Co-Founder Erika Ascenzo.

When you smooth this skin-softening oil across your skin, you’re participating in something larger than yourself. You’re continuing a practice that honours the knowledge that caring for your body is not vanity, it’s reverence.

Practice Meets Purpose

Each bottle holds intention. The ingredients are chosen not for novelty but for proven ability to nourish, protect, and restore. This formula is created without compromise, prioritising what your skin truly needs.

This is purposeful beauty. Transparent. Honest. A product that works exactly as intended, embodying BY KATIA’s clean, conscious approach to bodycare.

A Moment That Belongs to You

In the quiet after your shower, this ritual offers sanctuary. As you massage the oil into your arms, legs, and torso, notice how your breathing deepens. How your shoulders drop. How, for these few minutes, does nothing else require your attention?

This is not indulgence. This is a necessity. A daily recalibration through intentional application. A reminder that you are worthy of care, worthy of time, worthy of intentional touch doing its quiet work.

Everyday Gratitude Through Body Care

As your ritual ends and the formula settles into your skin, take one final breath. Notice the softness. The subtle glow. The sensorial trail that lingers. The sense of being cared for, not by someone else, but by yourself through intentional touch.

This is not just about how your body looks. It’s about how you feel within it. About recognising that your skin is not separate from your soul, it’s where your inner world meets the outer one. When you tend to it with this care, you’re tending to all of yourself.

This is your daily invitation to pause. To return to yourself. To remember that beauty is not something you chase, it’s something you cultivate through small, consistent acts of care.

May this ritual become a cornerstone of your day. A moment of escapism. A practice that reminds you that you are worthy of softness, worthy of time, and worthy of the love you so freely give to others.

Use BY KATIA’s Body Oil as a daily ritual of self-love, your way.
