How should I apply it for the best results on very dry heels and hands? — Victoria beauty cream vaseline restored with lavender and calendulus 40ml

For maximum effect, use after washing or bathing while skin is still slightly damp — this traps more water under the occlusive layer. Scoop a small amount (a pea-sized dab per hand or foot) and massage into the driest, roughest zones: heels, sides of feet, knuckles, cuticles, elbows. The petrolatum base will feel tacky at first; that is the protective film forming.

For an intensive overnight treatment, apply a slightly thicker layer before bed and wear clean cotton socks on feet and/or cotton gloves on hands. The fabric holds the product in place, prevents transfer to bedding, and increases occlusion, which helps soften thick callused skin more effectively over several nights. In the morning, wipe off any excess with a soft cloth — no need to scrub. During the day, a thin layer on problem spots after hand-washing helps maintain the barrier. Avoid the eye area and mucous membranes.
