Heat is a moisturizing heat booster in roll-on form – creating a wonderful and intense warming effect for most users.
But what you might not know – or think about in daily life – is that it doesn’t necessarily work the same way for everyone. Our skin is a large, living organ, which means there can be variations in how Heat – and other skincare products – interact with the skin.
For most people, the warming effect occurs immediately after application, diminishes over a few hours, but can be reactivated for up to 24 hours. Afterward, the skin is left soft and supple.
To ensure you get the best experience with Heat, here are a few tips for you:
-
Shake the product well before use.
-
Always test it on a small area of skin the first time. This is to make sure you tolerate the product. It’s normal for the skin to become slightly red where the product is applied, but redness beyond the area indicates sensitivity. If the skin becomes red, it’s a clear sign that it’s working, and you’ll typically feel a distinct warming effect.
-
Start by applying just a little. If you feel the effect isn’t strong enough, you can always apply more.
-
Use Heat on warm skin, for example, after a warm shower. When the skin is warm, it’s more receptive to the product. This is particularly important if you generally feel that your skin struggles to absorb and respond to the product.
-
If you want more heat, the warming effect can be reactivated for up to 24 hours by applying external heat, such as a warm cloth or physical activity. For an extra boost, you can even use a hairdryer for a minute.
-
If you want less heat, the effect can be softened by applying oil to the area. This is also the best way to neutralize the product if you no longer want the warming effect.
Because Heat can create a very intense warming sensation for some, we strongly recommend, out of care, not to use it on children.
