Can I use this balm on my hands, feet, elbows or even face? — Body Balm "Royal Cedar" - Natura Siberica

The product information lists legs, arms and elbows as the main areas, but a rich body balm like this can also be used on hands, feet, knees and heels. For very dry hands, apply a small amount after washing and rub it in well. For feet, a slightly thicker layer at night works well, especially if you put on cotton socks afterwards. Just do not use the same pot with wet hands, and keep the lid closed to avoid contaminating the balm with water or dirt.

For the face, this is not a specified use. Facial skin is generally thinner and more sensitive than body skin, and a balm this dense may be too heavy or could feel greasy. If you still want to try it on extra-dry patches of your face, use a tiny amount on a small area and patch test for a couple of days. A dedicated facial moisturizer is usually a safer, lighter choice.

The main practical tip is quantity: start with a small squeeze, spread it over damp skin or between your palms, and add only where the skin still feels tight. If you apply too much too often, the balm will sit on the surface and may make clothing feel sticky, which is a sign to reduce the amount.
