BALMONDS SKIN SALVATION

BALMONDS SKIN SALVATION

Having suffered from eczema for most of my life, and face/eye eczema since 2012, I’ve spent a lot of time testing out products to get rid of my eczema flare-ups. Balmonds Skin Salvation is one of the products I always have in my bathroom cabinet in case of a flare-up.

The ointment is soothing and rich, and perfect for layering onto your eczema flare-ups overnight to give it plenty of time to soak in and work its magic.

I personally only use this product on my eye and face eczema overnight because it takes so long to soak in that make-up can’t be applied over the top. But I highly recommend it, it works brilliantly and can also be used on babies and children who are over six weeks old.

Balmonds Skin Salvation is free from parabens, preservatives, petrochemicals or perfumes, which makes it perfect for eczema-prone and sensitive skin.

HOW TO USE

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.
