We've even found that this balm works wonders for slightly more irritating conditions. Our skin is like a glowing baby’s bottom upon waking, especially during the colder fall and winter months. If the concept of slathering Vaseline all over your face doesn’t sound too appealing, may we offer you a slugging upgrade/alternative: while it’s technically not occlusive, we love to slug with Rinascita Delle Olive Replenishing Balm for an intense surge of moisture. The practice is best suited to those with dry skin, irritation, chapping, even eczema. We’re not sure if you’ve heard the term “slugging”, but it’s using an occlusive (like Vaseline or Aquaphor) overnight to prevent water loss and dehydration. For starters, it is intensely moisturizing, which we no doubt need this time of year, as the temps rapidly drop and our skin becomes parched due to anything from harsh indoor heating to wind burn when we spend a lot of time outdoors. This product is such a dream, we don’t quite know where to begin.
