Mixing oil with body lotion before applying keeps your skin moisturized for a long time.

My body is dry as well as my face, so I tend to get white flakes of dead skin on my shins and forearms. When I applied only body lotion, my skin would dry out quickly, but when I mixed in two or three drops of jojoba oil when squeezing out the lotion, it created a moisturizing coating that kept my skin soft until I showered the next day. Applying oil alone makes it feel greasy and uncomfortable to wear clothes, but mixing it with lotion allows it to absorb well, which is great.
