How to use Gekasan
Gekasan is a rich, protective balm that cares for dry and exposed skin all over the body. Here you can read how to get the most out of it – and where it makes the biggest difference.
Three steps to soft skin
Cleanse and dry the skin
Wash the area with lukewarm water and pat the skin dry. The balm absorbs best into clean skin.
Apply a thin layer
A little goes a long way. Gently massage the balm in until the skin feels soft.
Repeat as needed
Feel free to apply several times a day – for example after washing your hands and before bed.
Where it makes a difference
Gekasan can be used all over the body – but these are the places where it really makes a difference.
Hands
Hands that are washed often or exposed to hand sanitiser, cold and hard work dry out quickly. Apply after washing your hands to lock in moisture.
Tip: Apply to your hands in the evening and wear thin cotton gloves overnight.
Feet
Heels and soles easily become hard and cracked – especially in winter and after a summer in sandals. The high fat content softens hard skin.
Tip: Apply to your feet before bed and put on cotton socks.
Elbows and knee
Elbows and knees are among the first places where skin becomes rough and dry. A thin layer morning and evening makes the skin supple again.
Tip: Apply right after a shower while the skin is still slightly damp.
In frosty weather
Cold and wind draw moisture out of the skin. The balm forms a protective layer over cheeks, lips and hands when you head outside.
Tip: Keep a tube in your coat pocket or bag during the winter months.
For pets
If your pet has a scratch or a small wound, Gekasan can be used on them too. The balm is free from fragrance and colourants.
For deep or infected wounds, always consult a vet.
When should you seek help?
Gekasan is for caring for dry and exposed skin. If your skin does not improve after a few weeks, or if it bleeds, weeps or shows signs of infection, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. If it concerns your pet, contact a vet.
