Summary

You may have noticed in our artisan boxes, we have put balms in the spotlight alongside traditional skincare creams. 

And it is not a hazard ! These have nourishing, restorative properties and above all they protect the skin from drying out. 

A quick overview to fully understand the benefits of one and the other.

 

1. Let's start with balms

A balm has a fatter and thicker consistency than a cream. It is made from an oily phase: either butters, oils or vegetable waxes are melted, which are then combined with scents obtained with aromatic plants or flowers. The mixture forms an ointment that melts in your hand.

Balm like oil is interesting to retain water from the inside and avoid dehydration. It forms an occlusive film on the skin which prevents water from evaporating and therefore de facto limits the aging of the skin. 

 

Our selection of Occitanie balms

Allow us to suggest a few of our superb balms.

Cevennes Plant Balms

On the brand side Cevennes plants, the balms are made with organic raw materials and the essential oils that compose them come from the farm. Their formula rich in shea butter and beeswax make these balms effective care for normal and dry skin.

> Roman Chamomile balm for sensitive skin

Without essential oils, chamomile face balm protects the most sensitive skin. It deeply hydrates, regenerates and rebalances the epidermis. 

 

> Complexion radiance balm with Geranium Rosat

Ultra hydrating, complexion radiance balm is made from geranium macerated in olive oil. As its name suggests, it restores radiance to the skin and gently regenerates it.

> Bark & Seeds care balm

Bark & Seeds balm revitalizes the sensitive areas of the face, neck and décolleté and protects them from external aggressions, minor daily irritations and natural dryness of the skin.

 

 

2. Our selection of creams from Provence

Cream, it requires more know-how because it is made from an emulsion, a mixture of two immiscible liquid substances, water and oil. Two phases are necessary, an oily phase identical to that of the balm, and an aqueous phase made with various aromatic hydrosols, milk or water. The cream tends to penetrate more slowly without leaving a greasy film on the skin.

to summarize 

In terms of use, the balm apply in local massages, frictions, to repair a chapped or cracked skin or to treat rheumatic pains, contractures....

A cream penetrates more easily and is therefore more suitable for daily care, to moisturize the body or face.  

At Mes Cosmétiques Français, we recommend that youuse the balm at night to deeply hydrate your skin because it is very nourishing and penetrates quickly. In the morning, we will apply a cream care especially for less dry and well hydrated skin.
