Learn how to apply Double Pommade Concrète solid balm for dry skin, with a practical routine and balm care tips for multi-purpose use.
Quick answer
Warm a small amount of Double Pommade Concrète between your fingers and press it into clean, dry skin—start with a pea-sized amount and add more only where needed. Use it as a targeted balm for dry patches, not as an all-over moisturizer.
Why solid balm needs a different technique
A concrete pomade is firmer than a cream or lotion, so it doesn’t spread the same way. If you swipe it directly onto your face or rub it in like a lotion, you’ll likely use too much and end up with a greasy film. The key is to warm it first—body heat softens the balm so a little goes a long way.
This balm is also a leave-on product, not a cleanser or mask. It’s meant to stay on the skin as a protective layer, so apply it after any water-based serums or moisturizers have absorbed. If you layer it over damp skin, it can trap water and feel heavy; wait a minute or two between steps.
Where it fits in your routine—and where it doesn’t
Double Pommade Concrète is best for dry, chapped, or irritated areas: hands, cuticles, elbows, heels, and small patches on the face. It’s not a replacement for a daily facial moisturizer if you have oily or combination skin, and it’s not a treatment for broken skin or active rashes. If your skin is very dry, you can use it as the last step at night to seal in moisture.
For a solid balm skincare routine, keep the rest of your lineup simple. Apply your usual hydrating products first, then use the balm only on areas that still feel tight or rough. During the day, use a smaller amount on hands and cuticles so you don’t transfer balm to your phone or keyboard.
How to apply Double Pommade Concrète step by step
- Start with clean, dry skin: Wash and dry the area first. Apply after any water-based serums or lotions have absorbed. Common mistake: applying to damp skin, which can make the balm feel slippery and uneven. Wait 1–2 minutes after your moisturizer before applying the balm.
- Warm a pea-sized amount between your fingers: Scrape a small amount with your fingertip and rub it between your fingers for a few seconds until it softens. Common mistake: using a full fingertip scoop—this balm is concentrated, so start small. If it still feels waxy, warm it a little longer rather than adding more product.
- Press and pat onto dry patches: Gently press the warmed balm into the areas that need it—hands, cuticles, elbows, heels, or small facial patches. Don’t rub vigorously. Common mistake: spreading it over the entire face when only a few spots are dry. Use a light touch; pressing helps the balm melt into the skin without dragging.
- Let it set before dressing or touching screens: Give the balm a minute to absorb before putting on gloves, socks, or using your phone. Common mistake: applying too much and then wiping off the excess, which wastes product. If you see a visible shine after a few minutes, you likely used more than needed next time.
- Reapply only where needed, not all over: During the day, reapply a tiny amount to hands or cuticles after washing. At night, you can use a slightly thicker layer on very dry areas. Common mistake: reapplying to the whole face multiple times, which can clog pores. Keep the balm for targeted touch-ups; use your regular moisturizer for all-over hydration.
