How to Use Joshua Tree Hiker's Salve for Chapped Skin

Quick answer

Apply a small dab of Joshua Tree Hiker's Salve directly to chapped skin or lips as needed. Its organic, unscented formula moisturizes and promotes healing without softening the calluses you need for protection.

How to apply Joshua Tree Hiker's Salve for chapped skin

1. 1. Clean the area: Wipe the chapped spot with a damp cloth or clean water. Dirt or sweat can trap the salve on the surface instead of letting it absorb. Skipping this step may reduce effectiveness.
2. 2. Warm a tiny amount: Squeeze a dab the size of a grain of rice onto your fingertip. Rub it between your fingers to soften it—the 3 ml tube is concentrated, so a little goes a long way. Using too much can feel greasy and attract dust.
3. 3. Apply and let it absorb: Press the salve into the chapped area, then wait 30 seconds before covering it with clothing or gloves. This gives the oils time to penetrate. Rubbing it in too vigorously can irritate already tender skin.
4. 4. Reapply as needed: Use the salve once in the morning and again before bed, or more often in dry or windy conditions. Overuse won't hurt, but the small tube is meant for targeted treatment. One tube lasts several days of regular use on lips and small patches.
