Is balm better than moisturizer?
Nourishing herbs and essential oils are added for their scent and/or healing protective qualities. Creams are best used to moisturize and deeply hydrate the skin. Balms, on the other hand, are purely oil/fat-based preparations used for healing skin trauma and irritated or dry tissue. Yes, bag balm! It’s good on others areas of your body but it’s an amazing inexpensive under eye cream! Vermonts-Original-Bag- Balm- Moisturizer/dp/B01AASJCPA/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?
Can I apply balm on my face?
Yes, balms can be used on the face, but they’re best for very dry or damaged skin, especially in areas prone to dehydration, like around the nose or lips. Beauty balm can be applied to the face, lips, knees, elbows, or even the feet! Natural beauty balms are usually safe for sensitive skin and suitable for all skin types, so feel free to use them anywhere you have dry or chapped skin that needs a little extra TLC.
What comes first, moisturizer or balm?
A good rule of thumb is to apply the most lightweight formulas first (think toners and serums) and work your way up to thicker, heavier-weight products (oils and creams). Using a skin balm under a serum will prevent that topmost product from being absorbed. It’s best to apply face serum first, as it can penetrate the skin more deeply and deliver active ingredients. Wait a minute or so after applying the serum to let it absorb before applying moisturizer on top.The best time to moisturise your skin is in the morning immediately after washing your face. This will help keep your skin hydrated through the day,” explains Dr Madhuri Agarwal, founder of Yavana Aesthetics Clinic in Mumbai.
