Balm and balsam as particularly rich care for your skin
Balm, also often called balsam, offers your skin a highly concentrated form of skin care, comparable to an intensive treatment. Balms contain more oils, waxes and vegetable butters than moisturizers and are therefore ideal for dry, stressed, dehydrated and sensitive skin - a soothing treatment especially during the colder seasons.
Ingredients of balms and their effects
Natural cosmetic balms contain a variety of skin-care ingredients. Oils from camellia seeds, rosehip seeds, thistles, broccoli seeds, borage seeds, goji berries, evening primrose and blue tansy moisturize your skin and combat dryness. Vegetable butter from cocoa, shea, cupuaçu and mango seeds is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins that nourish the skin and make it supple. Waxes such as beeswax, carnauba wax or candelilla wax form a protective barrier on the skin and help to lock in moisture.
Use and benefits of balms
Balms are simply applied to the skin and gently massaged in - ideal as the final step in your skincare routine, after applying serums and moisturizers. Due to their rich texture, balms often leave a light film on the skin that protects it from external influences and at the same time provides intensive care. They are therefore particularly suitable as night care, but can also be used during the day if the skin is very dry.
The main benefit of balms is their ability to soothe and regenerate dry and damaged skin. They promote skin elasticity and contribute to skin regeneration, especially in skin that is stressed by environmental factors or intense sun exposure.
Balm – versatile uses
Balms are versatile: They are not only suitable as a face cream, but also for the care of dry elbows and heels, chapped lips or as a hand and nail cream. Since they contain a lot of oils and waxes, they can also be used as a natural-looking highlighter.
Conclusion: Intensive care for radiant skin with balm
Balms are an intensive and luxurious skin care product. With their highly concentrated formulations, they offer an effective treatment for demanding skin needs and help keep the skin healthy, supple and radiant.
