How should I apply this ointment on rough patches like elbows or heels, and how often?

For areas with hardened, dry skin such as elbows, knees, or heels, the ointment should be applied to clean, slightly damp skin. Use a small amount and massage it in thoroughly until you feel the dense texture spreading and being absorbed. This warm-up through massage helps the balm integrate with the skin’s surface, forming the protective lipid film described in the product information. For best results, apply it as part of an evening routine or directly after bathing when the skin is most receptive.

Frequency depends on your skin’s needs and the season. During cold, windy weather or periods of frequent hand washing, daily use may be beneficial. For maintenance on rough patches, applying it a few times a week can help maintain softness. Since it’s a rich, occlusive balm, start with a pea-sized amount for a single area to see how your skin responds; you can always add more if needed. Do not apply it to the eye area.
