An ancestral recipe for a top body

Appreciated since antiquity for its soothing and healing properties, a balm designates in the strict sense, a resinous substance extracted from certain plants. Over time, "balm" has become a generic term designating any solid cosmetic preparation, often presented in a pot, which treats the small bobos of the epidermis. Made of waxes, butters, vegetable oils, this 100% natural product contains no water. A small bomb of lipids that restores the barrier function of the epidermis with, as a bonus, a film-forming effect limiting dehydration. The product dreamed of facing the frost, because it nourishes AND protects the dry and fragile skins of the whole family. The balm of balm? On the face, its too rich texture makes it a bad makeup base. There are some products stamped "facial balm", but if you take a closer look, they contain water. It makes their texture more creamy but makes them especially "false balms"!

How to use balm?

Its compact consistency is difficult to apply, especially when used to modern textures (emulsions, gels, mousses). The trick? Heat his body balm in the palm of your hand to melt the fat and ensure better gliding on the skin.
