What is a skin balm?
Are you a fan of natural skin care? Then a balm is perfect for you. One of the key features of a balm is its unique ingredient formula, enriched with healing natural ingredients. Most balms include beeswax, for example. Beeswax has anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. It’s also highly hydrating and packed with vitamins. A balm is richer and more intense than a cream, Lotion or serum. Today, many strongly scented, richer ointments are called ‘balms’. But a true balm has unique properties. It’s made without water, and created through a heating process that ‘melts’ the strong natural ingredients together.
How do you use a balm?
Take a small amount of balm onto your palms—about the amount you need. Rub the balm between your hands to soften it and make it easier to spread over your skin. Then apply it to the desired area.
You can easily include a balm in your skincare routine.
What is the difference between dry and dehydrated skin?
These are two different skin types that people often confuse. Dry skin lacks oil, while dehydrated skin lacks moisture. Both skin types can show similar symptoms, like itchiness or tightness. However, dry skin feels tight after washing, tends to wrinkle sooner, and rarely has spots. Dehydrated skin often has more impurities and can feel oily and dry at the same time.
You can combat dry skin by using a face balm or rich night cream. Dehydrated skin responds well to a moisturiser.
