What's the best way to use this birch balm, and how much should I apply?

The balm is designed for targeted, occasional use on specific body areas rather than as an all-over moisturizer. Apply a small, pea-sized amount to a clean, dry area of concern, such as rough elbows, knees, or feet, and gently massage until it forms a thin layer. As a leave-on product, the birch tar stays in contact with the skin longer than a wash-off formula, making it practical for this purpose. The pronounced drying effect of birch tar means a little goes a long way; using too much can be counterproductive. It's best to use it in the evening or during a period when the distinctive, woody scent of birch tar is not a concern. For storage, keep the jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the consistency of the balm.
