How often should I apply it, and can I use it under gloves or socks overnight?

The product is described as 'best suited for those who want a simple body care staple.' There is no prescribed frequency; you apply it when your skin feels dry, tight, or chapped—for example, after hand washing, before going outside in cold wind, or before bed. A thin layer, as recommended, is key.

Using it under cotton gloves or socks overnight is a common practice for intensively treating very rough areas like hands or heels. The occlusive barrier works to minimize moisture loss, and the covering prevents the product from transferring onto bedding. This can be an effective way to provide longer-lasting conditioning. Ensure your skin is clean and dry before application, and use a comfortable, breathable cotton layer. Do not use plastic or non-breathable wraps. If you experience any discomfort or increased irritation, discontinue the practice.

Remember, this is for external care and comfort. If skin is deeply damaged or shows signs of infection, professional advice should be sought.
