Use it on clean, dry skin. Take a small amount — about a pea-sized portion for an elbow or knee, a little more for the back or both shoulders — and warm it briefly between your palms. Then massage it into the area with slow, firm strokes: long strokes along arms and legs, small circular movements around joints. The balm-cream texture is designed to spread easily and support massage, and it leaves a soft protective layer rather than a heavy greasy film.
This type of balm is often chosen after exercise, a long day at a desk, gardening, or physical work, when the skin and the areas underneath feel tense or overworked. It can also be used in the evening as a moisturising step. If you prefer a lighter feel, apply a thin layer and let it absorb for a few minutes before dressing. For very dry patches, you can apply a slightly thicker layer and allow it to sit.
Do not massage over broken skin, large open wounds, or areas that are already irritated or inflamed. If you have an injury or persistent pain, stop using the balm on that area and consult a specialist.
