Can the balm be used after a workout, and how soon after exercise? — Body balm "Lifebuoy" warming tiger 50g No. 094 - Dr. Retter

The balm is suitable for use after physical exertion: its warming effect, based on camphor and menthol, helps relax tense muscles and makes self-massage more comfortable. It is usually applied 20–30 minutes after a workout, when the body has cooled down a little and the skin is no longer hot from exertion — this lets you feel the action of the active ingredients better.

The balm is particularly convenient for the areas that most often get ‘knotted’ during training: the neck and trapezius muscles, lower back, shoulders, elbows and knees. The thick texture of the product is well suited to massage movements — it does not run and lets you control the pressure while rubbing.

It is important to remember that the balm is a cosmetic product and is not intended to treat sports injuries, inflammation or acute pain. If sharp pain, swelling or restricted movement appears after exercise, this is a reason to see a specialist rather than use warming products on your own.
