How to Apply Your Topicals for Smarter Everyday Relief

Muscle tension. Joint strain. Too many errands.

Whether you’re winding down after a workout, recovering from a long day on your feet, or just trying to stay ahead of everyday aches, how you use your topicals matters. This isn’t about piling on product—it’s about knowing what to apply, when, and how to layer it effectively.

This is your no-BS guide to doing just that.

1. Time It Right

Your skin—and your muscles—respond differently depending on the time of day. Maximize the impact by syncing your application with your routine:

Morning: Use lightweight, fast-absorbing formulas like our Premium Roll-On Gel for pre-work or pre-workout support.

Night: Opt for richer, hydrating options like our Massage Oil or CBD Salve to unwind and help your body recharge while you sleep.

2. Target First, Then Treat

Start with precision, then move to coverage.

Apply our Roll-On Gel first, directly to high-tension areas like your neck, knees, shoulders, or wrists.
Follow with Organic Massage Oil or Organic CBD Balm to relax the surrounding muscles, nourish the skin barrier, and provide deeper support.

Think of the roll-on as your focused action step—and the oil or salve as the reinforcement layer.

3. Layer With Intention

Using more product doesn’t always mean better results.

Here’s how to make your routine work harder (not just heavier):

Apply Roll-On Gel first and let it fully absorb.
Wait approx. 3-5 minutes (and perhaps take a moment to meditate), then layer on Organic Massage Oil or Organic CBD Balm in circular motions.
Don’t mix products together—let each one do its job in sequence.
Always wash hands after application (especially if you’re using near sensitive areas).

4. Be Consistent (Not Just Reactive)

Topicals work best when used proactively, not just after you’re already sore.

Use once or twice a day depending on your routine:

Before activity: Apply Roll-On Gel to prep high-use joints.
After activity: Follow up with Massage Oil or CBD Balm for recovery.
Chronic tension: Set a daily schedule—even if you’re not feeling “sore” yet.

Small daily habits lead to bigger gains in how you feel long-term.

5. Build Your Own Routine

Here are a few use-case combos to try based on your lifestyle:

Post-workout: Roll-On Gel → Massage Oil
Desk fatigue: Roll-On on neck + upper back mid-day
Evening recovery: Massage Oil → CBD Balm before bed
Weekend reset: Full ritual—Roll-On → Oil → Hot shower in AM → Hydrate → CBD Balm in PM

Recovery isn’t a luxury—it’s a lifestyle shift. The right topical routine can help you stay moving, stay grounded, and stay good all season long.
