When and how should this heel cream be applied?

The best time to apply it is right after a shower or a foot bath, or before bed, when the skin is already slightly softened and more receptive to the softening ingredients. Apply a small amount of cream to clean, dry skin on the heels and feet, spread it evenly and allow it to absorb. The product does not leave a noticeably sticky feel, so after applying it at bedtime you can put on socks — this increases the cream's contact with the skin and reduces moisture loss overnight.

Regularity matters more than a single intensive application. The skin of the feet is under constant strain, so supportive care every day or every other day gives a more noticeable result than using the cream from time to time.

The cream is especially relevant during periods when the skin on the heels dries out more than usual: during the heating season, after long walks, when wearing open shoes or in dry air. During these periods it is especially important to apply the cream regularly, following the instructions on the packaging.

Before applying, it is helpful to remove rough skin cells with a pumice stone or foot scrub — this improves the cream's contact with the skin. However, if the skin is irritated or there are deep cracks, any mechanical treatment should be postponed until the skin is comfortable again.
