Face balm
What is a balm?
Balms are made with butters, fats and oils. No water is added, which is why they are so hydrating and have a thicker consistency than a “cream”.
I sometimes prefer to put the balm on at night and let it work its magic; this can be due to the weather being warmer so I don’t need so much nourishment in the day time.
Other times if there’s been a lot of stress, my eating habits have slipped, I’ve not drank enough water or especially in the winter months my skin can be more dry so I need to apply it in the morning.
It’s very personal your skin, use how it suits you.
