9 Ways to Use Bum Oil Beyond the Bedroom: The Soft Skin Ritual
The first time I realized Bum Oil was destined to be more than just a bedside companion was during a brutal East Coast winter. My knuckles were cracked from the cold, and on a whim, I massaged a single pump of Bum Oil into my hands. The next morning, the dryness was gone, replaced by a soft, hydrated sheen.
We have a confession to make: The Bumlicious team rarely keeps Bum Oil exclusively in our nightstands. You will find a bottle on our bathroom vanities, in our gym bags for post-workout showers, and tucked into our weekender bags for Fire Island recoveries.
Because when you create a product with a simple, intentional formula, you often discover it has uses far beyond the one you originally imagined. Comfort, confidence, and intimacy don't begin in the bedroom. They begin with how you care for your body every day.
What Else Can I Use Bum Oil For?
One of the most surprising discoveries during product testing was how often people started using Bum Oil outside of intimacy altogether. What began as a product for comfort quickly became part of everyday routines.
Here are nine of our favorite, community-tested ways to bring the silky, dense moisture of Bum Oil into your everyday self-care routine.
-
The Ultimate Lip Rescue
If your lips are feeling dry or weather-worn, a tiny amount of Bum Oil can provide an additional layer of moisture and protection. Apply a pinpoint drop of Bum Oil to your lips before bed. The beeswax creates a protective seal, waking you up with incredibly soft, kissable lips.
-
Skin Slugging (The Body Edition)
"Slugging" is a skincare trend where you apply a thick ointment over your moisturizer to lock in hydration. After a shower, apply your regular lotion, and seal it in with a very thin layer of Bum Oil. It supports moisture retention and helps lock in moisture and leaves skin looking healthy, hydrated, and comfortable.
-
Dry Hands & Cuticle Care
Frequent handwashing strips the skin barrier. Massage a drop of Bum Oil into your cuticles and the backs of your hands to soothe dry skin.
-
The Protective Shaving Oil
Before you drag a razor across your face (or anywhere else), you need a protective cushion. Massage a layer of Bum Oil onto damp skin before shaving to help reduce friction and razor burn.
-
Nighttime Heel Repair
Before bed, aggressively massage Bum Oil into your heels, then immediately put on a pair of clean cotton socks to trap the heat and the oil for an intensive overnight moisture treatment.
-
Beard & Scruff Softener
After a warm shower, run a single drop of Bum Oil through your facial hair. It softens the bristles and hydrates the skin underneath.
-
Hair Oil & Frizz Control
Take a micro-amount, rub it vigorously between your palms, and lightly graze it over the ends of your hair to tame flyaways and add a sophisticated shine.
-
Tattoo Moisture Support
Healed tattoos look their absolute best when the skin is deeply hydrated. Many people find that Bum Oil is fantastic for bringing the contrast back to older ink. (Note: Follow your artist's advice for fresh tattoos!)
-
The Elevated Massage Oil
Because it is thick, cushioning, and long-lasting, it is the perfect medium for a sensual, full-body massage. It melts slowly into the skin, providing a luxurious glide without feeling greasy.
"Your body isn’t just a vessel; it’s a living, breathing canvas. Treat it beautifully."
