Soak feet in warm water for 10–15 minutes to soften skin. Gently use a foot file or pumice stone on callused areas while still damp. Rinse and dry thoroughly, then apply TLC foot cream generously — particularly on heels and ball of foot. Cover with cotton socks and leave overnight for an intensive treatment. Repeat 3× per week until heels improve, then twice weekly for maintenance.

Foot cream is formulated for significantly thicker foot skin — it is more concentrated, often contains urea (which breaks down hardened skin) and higher levels of emollients than standard body lotion. Applying regular body lotion on feet provides some benefit but TLC foot cream is purpose-engineered for the unique demands of heel skin, which regenerates and calluses faster than any other body area.

Yes — urea at 10–25% is a dermatologist-recommended, cosmetic-grade keratolytic. It breaks down hard, dry skin while deeply hydrating beneath. Daily application is safe and beneficial — the more consistently it is used, the better it prevents callus reformation. If you experience any stinging on broken or cracked skin, allow cuts to heal first before applying urea-containing products on open areas.

Clean feet thoroughly between toes daily (this is where odour-causing bacteria thrive). Dry completely after washing — particularly between toes. Apply TLC foot care products that contain antibacterial or astringent ingredients. Alternate shoes daily to allow them to dry between wears. Natural fibre socks (cotton, bamboo) reduce moisture build-up compared to synthetic materials. Keeping skin healthy and exfoliated reduces dead skin build-up, which bacteria feed on.

Yes — foot cream works well on any rough, thickened, or callused skin. The elbows and knees have similarly thick skin to heels and respond well to foot cream. The formula is safe for any body application. For hands, foot cream is an excellent overnight treatment — apply generously and wear cotton gloves to bed for intensive softening of very dry or rough hands.

With consistent use (daily application after washing and at bedtime), visible improvement in heel softness and crack depth typically appears within 1–2 weeks. Severe cracks may take 3–4 weeks to fully resolve. Once heels are healthy, twice-weekly application maintains the condition. Wearing open-back footwear (sandals, slippers) in dry weather is a common accelerant of heel cracking — moisturising more frequently in those conditions helps.

We recommend consulting your doctor before using any new product on feet if you have diabetes. Diabetic skin has reduced sensation and healing capacity, making it more vulnerable to irritation and infection. If approved by your doctor, gentle, fragrance-light formulas are preferable. Inspect feet carefully after any foot care routine and report any unusual reactions to your healthcare provider promptly.

No — TLC foot care products are free from parabens and use internationally approved, skin-compatible preservative systems safe for daily use. They are also SLS-free and dermatologist-tested. The formula is designed for sensitive skin — foot skin, particularly when cracked, is more vulnerable to irritants than intact skin on other body areas.
