Skin Salvation 30ml (Balmonds)

Skin Salvation can be applied to any part of the body as thickly and as often as needed.

Skin Salvation can be used in conjunction with prescribed emollients and medicated creams; just leave half an hour after use before applying your other products.

To reduce the risk of infection, use freshly-washed fingers or a spoon to scoop out ointment.

In a cold environment the ointment can be quite firm and harder to apply; this is perfectly normal and is a characteristic of natural beeswax. Warm up a small amount in clean fingers before use to make it easier to smooth on.

If your skin is really dry and in need of intensive hydration, apply a thick layer of ointment before bed and leave it on overnight. We'd advise wearing old pyjamas as the salve can stain fabric over time.

You can also use the ointment in an overnight wet or dry wrap treatment: apply last thing at night under a layer of soft fabric (gloves, socks or wraps) to boost the moisturising effect.

As the salve is oil-based and does not contain an SPF, don't apply to exposed areas such as the face or lips before going out in strong sunlight. Instead, use the salve last thing at night.
