How to use
Step 1: Warm
Start with clean, dry skin. Scoop a small amount of ELEMIS Warm-Up Massage Balm and warm it between your palms until softened.

Massage onto targeted areas using slow, upward strokes. Focus on areas that feel tight or fatigued, such as calves, thighs, shoulders, hips, or lower back.

Use long, sweeping motions along the muscle, then switch to circular movements on areas of tension. Gradually increase pressure as the warming sensation develops.
