How to use the balm

The tin is a firm balm, not a lotion. If it feels heavy, the scoop was too big.

The method

Start with clean, dry skin. A pea for the face, a little more for hands. Warm it between your fingers until it glosses. Press it in. Don’t rub it like a cream. A thin film is enough.

Face, hands, body

Thin on the face. More for winter hands, knuckles, and cuticles. Elbows and shins can take a little more. You don’t need to frost yourself.

Soaking-wet skin makes it slide. A little damp is fine if you like how it feels.

The tin will feel different in July and January

A warm room makes a softer scoop. A cold bathroom makes a firmer one. Warm the pea in your fingers either way. Keep it out of a parked car in summer.

What this is not

They moisturize dry-feeling skin. Not a miracle, and not a treatment. If a scoop feels like too much, use less tomorrow.
