Balm as especially rich care for your skin
Balm, also often called a salve, provides your skin with an especially rich form of skincare, comparable to an intensive treatment. Many balms contain a high proportion of oils, waxes, and plant butters and are particularly suitable for dry and stressed skin – a soothing treatment, especially during the colder months.
Ingredients in balms and their benefits
Natural balms contain a variety of skin-nourishing ingredients. Plant oils from camellia seeds, rosehip seeds, thistles, broccoli seeds, borage seeds, goji berries, and evening primrose nourish the skin and help reduce moisture loss. Plant butters from cocoa, shea, cupuaçu, and mango seeds contain nourishing fatty acids and leave skin feeling soft. Waxes such as beeswax, carnauba wax, and candelilla wax form a protective barrier on the skin and help lock in moisture.
How to use balms and their benefits
Simply apply balms to the skin and massage in gently – ideal as the final step in your skincare routine, after applying serums and moisturizers. Because of their rich texture, balms often leave a light film on the skin that protects it from external factors while providing intensive care. This makes them especially suitable for overnight use, although they can also be used during the day if your skin is very dry.
The main benefit of balms is their rich care for dry and stressed skin. Their protective film can help reduce moisture loss and keep skin soft.
Balm – A versatile skincare essential
Balms are versatile: They’re suitable not only as a face cream, but also for caring for dry elbows and heels, chapped lips, or as a hand and nail cream. Because they contain a lot of oils and waxes, they can also be used as a natural-looking highlighter.
The verdict: Intensive care for radiant skin with balm
Balms are an intensive and luxurious form of skincare. With their rich formulations, they complement your skincare routine when your skin is dry and help keep it looking soft and well cared for.
