What is a body balm?

A body balm is a skincare product that uses oil or beeswax instead of water to create an easy to apply balm. Body balms are often used to target dry and cracked skin issues in areas such as hands, joints, heels and knees. Body balms shouldn't be used on your face. For dry skin on your face, choose a moisturiser for dry or dehydrated skin.

Because of this, body balms tend to leave the skin particularly smooth with the additional benefits of the wax – such as the cleansing of dead skin cells.
