How should I apply the Omega 369 balm on very dry hands?

For best results, start with clean hands. Dirt and grease can reduce how well the balm spreads and feels. Wash with lukewarm water, then pat rather than rub your hands dry — rubbing can make already dry skin feel more stressed.

Take a small amount, roughly the size of a pea or slightly more, and warm it between your fingertips or palms. This makes the rich texture easier to spread. Massage the balm into the backs of your hands, palms, fingers, and around the nail edges, where dryness and rough cuticles usually show first. Pay extra attention to the areas between fingers if they feel tight.

Applying to slightly damp skin can help the balm spread and lock in moisture, but if your hands are wet, the balm will not stay on well, so let them be only lightly damp. Give the balm a few minutes to absorb before touching anything. After hand washing or prolonged contact with water, reapply. For an overnight routine, use a slightly larger amount before bed; it has time to work while you rest.
