More about Mil Usos Total Cranarchy Multi-Use Balm for athletes

The Total Cranarchy Multi-Use Balm, which retails for $52 on the official Mil Usos Skincare website, is a one-and-done moisturizing athlete-specific skincare product. It’s designed for those who don’t have a lot of time for a multi-step skincare regimen. Individuals can use it from head to toe—for hair, scalp, face, lips, and all over the body, thereby justifying the one-and-done tag.

The product description on the brand website is as follows:

“[It] deeply repairs and rejuvenates the skin—speeds up skin cell renewal, controls sebum production, evens skin tone, and [has] brightening extracts to address hyperpigmentation.”

With a multi-use formula, the Total Cranarchy Multi-Use Balm for athletes can replace plenty of other skincare products and can be used as a moisturizer, face serum, hand cream, scalp and hair oil, body lotion, and even deodorant.

It has a water-free and concentrated formula and comes with a vibrant yellow color. Texture-wise, the Multi-Use Balm closely resembles a face oil rather than a cream moisturizer, once applied to the face.

The Total Cranarchy Multi-Use Balm for athletes is designed to be the only moisturizer an athlete needs for the entire body. A tiny amount of the vibrant yellow balm can be applied to clean skin, including the scalp, lips, and anywhere in the face and body that needs moisturization.

When used to treat itchy scalp, a small amount can be applied using the fingertips before giving the scalp a massage and rinsing. It can also be applied to hair overnight for deep conditioning.

The balm can also be used instead of a balm cleanser for melting waterproof makeup and sunscreen before proceeding with a face cleanser.
