Almost all of us need a little something extra sometimes. “Dry skin runs in my family, and whether it’s my face, my elbows, or just a rough spot, I often need something really thick and rich and comforting,” says Gwyneth. When the skin’s protective barrier is compromised— extreme weather, intense indoor heating and cooling systems, harsh cleansers or other chemical irritants, at-home peels, sun exposure, and even stress are common causes—dry, irritated, or damaged skin can be the result.

So we created this brilliant little jar of Fix and Restore Balm, a multipurpose head-to-toe occlusive salve for serious care that soothes, moisturizes, and nourishes. It delivers immediate relief in the first 30 minutes, extended moisture for up to 48 hours, and long-term benefits, too, as skin becomes more supple and healthy-looking with continued use. Bonus: Along with soothing our troubled skin, the balm is fantastic for a petroleum-free skin slugging routine—try it as the final step for truly next-level results.
