Q: These body butters are often labeled as "whipped." You can also look for blends that contain oils or butters that are liquid at room temperature, such as coconut oil, jojoba oil, almond oil, or grapeseed oil. This makes the body butter easy to scoop out and apply to your body. If you choose a body butter that is thicker or solid at room temperature, you can still use it as a moisturizer. Scoop out the amount you want to use, then give it a moment to melt in your palm. When you sleep with the body butter on your skin, it has more time to soak in. Additionally, the heat from the blankets will warm you up, providing a more intensive treatment. If you have dry skin, you can do this every day, if you'd like. If your skin is normal or oily, then you might do an intensive moisture treatment once a week or as needed. Keep in mind that some of the body butter might rub off on your blankets. In rare cases, it can cause oil stains on the fabric. However, your washing machine should remove the body butter, if you do get it on the blankets. You can use the body butter after your shower at any time of day, but taking a shower right before bed will have the best benefits. Applying the lotion right after a shower will seal in the moisture that remains on your skin. A warm shower is your best option for moist skin, as it warms up the body. However, hot water can dry out your skin. You can use your body butter daily or as needed. For dry skin, it's a good idea to use it daily. If you have normal or oily skin, you might use it as a weekly treatment or to treat dry areas. You want to remove most of the water, but your skin should look dewy. While body butter can seal in a light layer of moisture, it will be hard to smooth it on if you have too much water on your skin, as the butter will interact with the water. You can use your fingers or a spatula. It's best to apply the body butter in small amounts. It may take longer to apply than a typical lotion, but taking your time will prevent your skin from feeling greasy. If you used a spatula, you can apply the body butter directly to your skin or onto your fingertips. You may prefer to use a spatula so that the body butter doesn't get under your nails and to avoid contaminating the container with bacteria that may be on your hands. If your body butter is in a squeeze container, apply the butter directly from the container onto your skin. If you used your fingers, then you can rub the body butter between your fingertips. If you applied it directly to your body, then let it sit for a few seconds before you start to rub it in. The natural warmth from your body will soften the body butter so that it smooths on easily. Use the palm of your hands for the easiest application. You can also work it in over the joint areas, such as your knees, ankles, and elbows, using firm, circular strokes. Stop rubbing the body butter once you've smoothed it into a thin, even layer. Your skin may look slightly greasy. However, be careful not to apply too much, as your body may feel greasy. Continue until your body is fully moisturized. For example, you could start with your feet. Next, move to your calves, then do your knees and thighs. Next, do your stomach, chest, bum, and back. Finally, do each arm, your elbows, and your hands. You may also want to add more body butter onto your feet, knees, hands, and anywhere that looks dry and cracked. Remember to keep your layers light and even so that the body butter doesn't make your skin greasy. If you apply too much, you can wipe it off with a towel. Body butter takes a little more time to soak into your skin than lotion does. However, it just takes a few minutes! You'll know it's dry when your skin doesn't feel greasy. If you put on your clothes too early, you'll get body butter on your clothes. Although body butter usually doesn't stain, it could cause oil stains due to its rich ingredients. In most cases, you can remove the body butter by washing the fabric in a washing machine. Since it's so thick and concentrated, body butter can clog your pores. It's best to avoid putting it on your face, where it could result in pimples. Instead, stick to moisturizers formulated for your face.
A: Choose a spreadable body butter for easy use. Apply it to your body before bed for an intense moisture treatment. Seal in moisture by using it within 5 minutes of showering. Dab wet skin dry with a towel, leaving a little moisture. Scoop out about a dime-sized amount of body butter. Wait a few seconds for the warmth in your skin to melt the body butter. Rub in the body butter using long, firm strokes. Work in small sections, applying more body butter as necessary. Dab a second layer of body butter onto dry spots, like your elbows. Let the body butter dry for a few minutes before putting on clothes. Avoid using body butter on your face.

Q: Some pieces just seem to get marked for special scratching treatment because they feel just right to your cat. In this case, there are several options you can try: Apply double-sided tape to the furniture. Cats dislike the sticky feeling and won't continue to stick their claws wherever it's sticky, as the hairless skin of the cat's paws is extremely sensitive to touch. For larger furniture, adhere masking tape over the arms, or on the back of the furniture where the cat will often enjoy playing (and hiding from water spritzing). For a larger area, such as a rug or carpet, leave contact sheets sticky side up over the surface you want to protect. You can also buy a product called "Sticky Paws," which are medical grade adhesive sticky strips that can go on curtains, drapes, carpets, and anything else that might be a bit too tempting for your cat. Use the "knobby" side of a plastic or vinyl floor runner along the back of the couch to deter scratching. The cat won't like the feel of the pointy knobs on their feet. For cats who seem to live it up when you're at work or away from home, cover the furniture in plastic covers. Cats are not fond of walking over plastic because of its smell and feel. You could also try placing blown-up balloons hidden underneath a sheet covering the furniture which will burst when clawed, causing the cat a fright that will be associated with that piece of furniture long after the balloon has popped. If buying new furniture, consider getting a tight weaved chenille or microfiber fabric as opposed to a tweed-like fabric. Cats will not be interested in those types of fabrics as they won't be able to get their claws through. Cats will scratch any furniture made with a thin loose-weaved fabric. Also consider using a "Scat mat" to deter cats from certain surfaces and areas. It is generally recommended to correct your cat remotely so that they do not associate the negative correction with you or other humans. Otherwise, you will create fear in the cat toward humans and likely train the cat to scratch in secret. These products can be found online at various retailers. If you have antiques or furniture that is of great value, consider leaving it in a cat-free zone. Ensure that everyone in the family is aware that the cats must not be let into that area or room and always keep doors to these areas closed. Ask the humans in the house to take care rather than expecting the cat to know the difference between important furniture and less important furniture. If the cat does wander in, shoo him out abruptly so that he associates it with being "out of bounds."
A:
Cover problem furniture. Consider creating a deterrent to certain areas with the help of a motion detector attached to a spray or ultrasonic noise. Shut doors to rooms with very special furniture, furnishings, and objects.
