However, the lid would benefit from some grips on the side to ease closure after moisturising, when you still have some body butter residue on your hands. --Application-- Scoop out a dollop of body butter with your fingers after showering and moisturise liberally wherever required (though perhaps somewhat obviously, not on the face).
