Let me introduce one of my few holy grails. I have extremely dry skin, both on the surface and deep down. Because of this, I rarely get acne, and even if I do get small bumps, they disappear on their own within two days. My skin is the only thing I can boast about, so I'm trying to maintain it for life. Although I've marked myself as sensitive, I'm not actually sensitive to cosmetics. I only become sensitive when there are internal issues with my intestines or liver. For someone like me, there are a few holy grails that exist. I have holy grails for each step: toner, essence, eye cream, gel-type moisturizer, balm-type moisturizer, and a final oil or balm to lock in moisture. This product has become my holy grail for the balm-type moisturizer step. It's truly, really good. Once, when I went to the sauna, I only brought this, a body oil, and a mist. I realized I forgot to bring my usual skincare routine and thought, 'Oh no, I'm doomed.' But after applying just this product and coming home, my skin stayed hydrated all day long, without any dryness on the surface or deep down. It was incredibly moisturizing and gentle. For my body, I mixed it with oil, so the hydration was beyond compare... This is a lifetime product for me. There's absolutely nothing to fault about it. Now, I don't think I need to do as many skincare steps just because I have dry skin. On busy mornings, I can just apply toner, essence, and this skin balm, and my skin feels fresh and light, yet not dry at all. I love it so much!

The only downside might be the price, which is a bit steep... But honestly, even this isn't really a drawback. Considering its functionality and effectiveness, it's worth it.

For your body, since it can feel a bit thick and you might not want to use too much, try mixing it with oil and applying it to damp skin after showering!
