Dry skin does not always show up evenly. Your hands may feel fine while your elbows feel rough. Your knees may need extra attention while your heels seem to soak up everything you put on them.
That is where a concentrated body balm can make sense. Instead of treating every inch of skin the same way, you can focus the product where you need it.
Start with less than you think
Balm is richer than many lightweight moisturizers. Scoop or swipe out a small amount first. Warm it between your fingers or palms to soften it, then massage it into the skin. You can always add more.
For dry hands
Work a small amount over the backs of your hands, around the knuckles, and around the cuticles. If you dislike a heavy feeling on your palms, concentrate on the driest areas first.
For elbows and knees
Apply balm directly to rough-feeling areas and massage it in. These spots are easy to overlook during a regular routine, so keeping your balm somewhere visible can help you remember to use it.
For heels and feet
Apply a small amount to clean, dry heels and other rough areas of the feet. Many people prefer doing this after bathing or before bed because it gives them a simple routine they can repeat.
Consistency matters more than using a lot
You do not need to cover yourself in balm. A practical routine is easier to maintain: identify the dry spots, use a small amount, and repeat when needed.
