How to Use Gentle Reminder Body Balm to Seal in Moisture for Dry Skin

Struggling with dry, flaky skin? The solution lies in the right layering of body care products. Our Gentle Reminder Body Balm acts as the perfect occlusive, locking in moisture and keeping your skin hydrated longer. Here’s how to get the best results for your skin.

What is an Occlusive and Why It’s Essential for Dry Skin

An occlusive is a product that forms a barrier over the skin, preventing moisture from evaporating. Our Body Balm acts as the occlusive layer, helping to seal in the hydration from your moisturizer, giving your skin long-lasting moisture and protection, especially if you deal with dryness or flakiness.

How to Layer Your Body Care for Maximum Hydration

Step 1: Apply a water-based lotion to your skin right after showering. This helps to hydrate your skin and prepare it to absorb moisture.

Step 2: Roll on a thin layer of the Body Balm. This step seals in all the moisture, creating a protective shield that keeps your skin hydrated throughout the day.

Step 3: Reapply as needed. Dry skin often needs a little extra love, so feel free to re-apply during the day to keep your skin soft and smooth.

Key Ingredients That Make the Balm Work

Our Body Balm is packed with Aloe Vera, Ceramides, and Cocoa Butter, all of which help nourish, protect, and lock in hydration. These ingredients work together to give your skin the best care, even in dry conditions.

Say goodbye to dry, flaky skin with the right layering routine. Our Body Balm is the ultimate occlusive, locking in moisture and providing your skin with long-lasting hydration.
