Where Does MORE™ Actually Go in Your Routine? A Layering Guide

Where Does MORE™ Actually Go in Your Routine? A Layering Guide

 

A great product can still underperform if it's applied at the wrong point in a routine — layered under something that blocks it, or over something it ends up diluting. MORE™ Coconut Oil Dry Body Spray is simple to use on its own, but if you're already using other body products, here's exactly where it fits best.

Rule One: Water-Based Products Go On Before Oil-Based Ones

MORE Coconut Oil Spray application on skin

The general layering principle in skincare is thinnest-to-thickest, water-based-to-oil-based. Since MORE has an oil component, it generally performs best as one of the last things applied, after any water-based serums or treatments have had a chance to absorb first. Applying it too early can create a light barrier that slows down how well a thinner product underneath gets absorbed.

If You Use Body Sunscreen

For daytime use with SPF, apply sunscreen first and let it fully absorb and set before using MORE on top. Putting an oil-based product underneath sunscreen can interfere with how evenly the SPF sits on skin, so the safer order is: sunscreen first, give it a few minutes, then MORE as the final step if extra hydration is still needed.

If You Use Body Retinol or Exfoliating Treatments

Retinol and exfoliating acids need direct contact with skin to work, so they should always go on clean, dry skin first. MORE works well applied afterward, once the treatment has absorbed, acting as a lightweight barrier that can help offset some of the dryness or sensitivity those actives are known to cause. Applying it beforehand would just create a layer the treatment has to work through.

If You Also Use a Regular Lotion

Most people find they don't need both at once — MORE is designed to replace a traditional lotion step, not stack with it. But if skin is especially dry in a particular spot, like elbows or shins, a thin layer of lotion first followed by MORE as a sealing final step can work for targeted touch-ups, as long as it's not a full-body daily habit.

If You're Applying Right After Shaving

Freshly shaved skin is more sensitive and slightly more absorbent, which actually makes it a good moment for a lightweight, non-irritating formula. Applying MORE shortly after shaving, once skin is dry to the touch, can help soothe tightness without the heaviness of a thick post-shave balm.

The Simple Version, If You Don't Use Anything Else

If MORE is the only body product in your routine, none of this layering logic matters — just apply it to clean, slightly damp skin after showering and let it absorb. The layering order above only comes into play once other actives, sunscreen, or lotion are part of the mix, and even then, the rule of thumb is simple: thinner and more active products first, MORE as one of the final steps. Orders ship free within the U.S., with a 30-day return window on unopened bottles.
