Balms are back to save your skin

Trilogy Everything Balm

The word “everything” is in the name for a reason. Use it in the classic sense to soothe dry or chapped skin, or try out its many uses by applying to lips, rubbing into dry cuticles, or even using as a melting massage oil – it’s a serious desert island product.

Nutrimetics Nutri-Rich Cleansing Balm

Melt your makeup away at the end of the day with this clever cleansing balm. Enriched with ultra-nourishing apricot, the gentle gel-to-balm formula will cleanse skin of any impurities and leave your complexion feeling clear, soft and supple.

Bellamer Botanical Skin Care Soothing Balm                       

A balm with a butter and oil base, this is your ultimate sensitivity soother. With healing Shea butter, and a calming blend of Chamomile, Peppermint and Jojoba oils, it works to strengthen your skin whilst reducing redness and discomfort.

Tarte Cosmic Maracuja Concentrated Face Balm ($60, Sephora.com.au)

With this brilliant balm you can literally watch moisture melt into your face – it’s perfect for pampering parched skin. Formulated with maracuja, it’s rich in the essential fatty acids that are vital to your skin health, and the luxe gold flakes don’t hurt one bit.

Bobbi Brown Extra Illuminating Moisture Balm

Rather than packing highlighter onto dry, flaky skin (not the best look), try illuminating from the inside out. This boosting balm imparts an instant glow thanks to its pearl particles – it’s like you’ve flicked an internal light switch on your face.

Dior Hydra Life Extra Plump Smooth Balm Mask ($98, Sephora.com.au)

Let this balm add bounce back into your skin. Infused with white pine oil and a complexion-boosting cocktail of jojoba, glycerine and shea butter, it’ll enhance elasticity, refine texture and leave skin plump, smooth and firm.

First Aid Beauty Eye Duty Triple Remedy Overnight Balm ($60, Sephora.com.au)

A heartier formula is amazing for the thinner skin around your eyes. This overnight eye balm pairs hydrating sunflower seed wax and shea butter with a blend of actives such as algae extract and niacinamide to hit your eye area with a brightening, smoothing, line-fighting combo.

Drunk Elephant Lippe Balm ($28, mecca.com.au)

Whoever thought lip balm formulas were all created equal never met this one. Drunk Elephant have rounded up the pout-protecting dream team to leave lips hydrated (with avocado, cranberry and marula oils), restored (thanks to collagen-boosting peptides) and refreshed (we see you, Vitamin C).

Sephora Collection Hand Balm ($9, Sephora.com.au)

Get some balm on those palms, stat. Enriched with moisturising oils and waxes, these balms are ideal for keeping your hands healthy and hydrated through the winter weather. At under $10 they’re super affordable, and they come in a bunch of sweet scents – we love this romantic rose.

Weleda Foot Balm

Put your best foot forward every time with this fantastic foot balm. Say hello to heavenly heels and soft soles thanks to kaolin clay and olive oil, amazing for nourishing the skin that is so often neglected. Plus, with its fresh fragrance of lavender and rosemary, your feet will never have smelled sweeter.
