How to use a hemp balm

Step by step

1. 01

   Start with clean skin

   Balms sit on the surface, so anything already on the skin sits underneath. Wash and dry the area first.

2. 02

   Take less than you think

   Scoop a pea-sized amount with a fingertip. A balm is concentrated and spreads much further once it warms.

3. 03

   Warm it between your fingers

   Hold it for a few seconds. As the butters soften, the balm changes from firm to fluid and becomes far easier to spread.

4. 04

   Work it in slowly

   Massage into the area in small circles until the surface no longer looks wet. Add a little more only if the area is still uncovered.

5. 05

   Wash your hands

   Particularly with warming balms. Keep the product away from the eyes and from broken skin.

Tips

• —If the balm is very firm, the room is cold — hold the tin in your hand for a minute first.
• —Applying to slightly warm skin, after a shower, makes it spread more easily.
