This QV heel balm is AMAZING! Guilty of wearing thongs year round – even weekly pedicures can’t prevent my heels being coated with a thick dry layer of skin. I used the QV Heel balm every evening after a shower, and found it to soothe my heels instantly. It soaked into the skin well and didn’t leave a greasy layer like other products I have used for the same condition. I could see results literally the next day. Not only did it soften the skin – but it felt as though turned the dry skin over, and revealed a smoother crust and crack free later of skin underneath. After using the QV heel balm for a fortnight my feet are ready for summer and smoother than a babies bottom. I now use the heel balm once or twice a week and that is taking care of the upkeep. Another bonus of this product is that it smells great and I have been using it to double as a cuticle cream to soften up my cuticles and keep my hands nice and smooth as well. Hands down best tootsie product I have ever used – and it’s multi purpose.

The most noticeable improvement after using the QV heel balm for a few weeks was when I put socks or stockings on. The heel did not catch or scratch on them. That rough surface was becoming smoother.  I was washing the heel balm off my hands after use but a friend told me that the directions say it is good for the hands. Just as long as the feet are clean!! My nightly ritual softened the heels and hands at the same time.

Thankyou for including me in your QV Test Drive & sending me the heel balm. I have used it now every night for the last 3 weeks and have noticed a great improvement. Particularly as I spent a week up in Surfers Paradise, walking on the sand – barefoot, and the difference has been amazing – much smoother to the touch – no rough skin to catch on socks & panty hose, & no sore spots from cracks. I would definately use this product and recommend it to others.
