If you’re already a fan of the Apricot Luxe Skin Revival Oil, you know how it transforms your skin’s texture and glow. But with the arrival of our new Apricot Luxe Skin Renewal Lotion, we’re often hearing this question: “Do I need both?”
The short answer is: Yes. While each product is powerful on its own, using them together creates a synergistic effect that tackles hydration from two different angles. Think of it as a complete "insurance policy" for your skin’s barrier. Here is why this duo is the ultimate skincare strategy and exactly how to use them together.
Why the "Oil + Lotion" Combination Works
To understand why you should use both, it helps to understand the difference between hydration and moisture:
The Lotion (Hydration & Nutrition): Our lotion is formulated with organic apricot seed oil, aloe, and botanical extracts. These ingredients deliver water-based hydration and nutrients (like Vitamin B17) deep into the skin’s surface. It’s designed to "sink in" and replenish what the day has taken away.
The Oil (The Protective Seal): The Skin Revival Oil is an occlusive treatment. Its job is to sit slightly more toward the surface, creating a luxurious barrier that "locks in" the hydration provided by the lotion.
When used together, the lotion feeds the skin, and the oil ensures that none of that goodness evaporates. The result? Skin that stays soft, supple, and glowing for 24 hours, not just a few.
The Strategy: How to Layer for Best Results
For the most effective results, we recommend the "Damp to Dry" strategy. Here is the step-by-step breakdown:
Step 1: Prep on Damp Skin
The best time to apply any product is right after a shower or bath. When your skin is slightly damp, it is more permeable and ready to drink in moisture. Pat yourself dry gently, but leave a hint of moisture on the skin.
Step 2: Apply the Apricot Luxe Skin Renewal Lotion
Start with the lotion. Massaging the lotion into your hands, legs, and body helps Vitamin B17 and shea butter penetrate the skin. Because our formula is fast-absorbing, you won't have to wait long before moving on to the next step.
Step 3: Seal with the Apricot Luxe Skin Revival Oil
While the lotion is still "fresh" on your skin, apply a few drops of the Apricot Luxe Skin Revival Oil over the top. Focus on areas prone to extreme dryness—such as elbows, knees, and heels—or on areas where you want an extra radiant sheen. This "seals the deal," trapping the lotion’s nutrients against your skin.
Why Our Customers Love the Apricot Luxe Skin Duo
By combining these two, you are getting a double dose of Vitamin B17 (found in our signature Organic Apricot Seed Oil). This isn't just about looking good; it’s about supporting your skin's long-term health and resilience.
Morning Routine: Use the lotion solo for a lightweight, non-greasy finish before you get dressed.
Evening Routine: Layer the lotion and oil together before bed to let your skin repair and deeply hydrate while you sleep. You’ll wake up with a "lit-from-within" glow that lasts all day.
Experience the Transformation
Skincare is an investment in yourself. By using the Apricot Luxe Skin Renewal Lotion and Apricot Luxe Skin Revival Oil as a team, you’re giving your skin the absolute best of nature’s pharmacy.
