English term or phrase:"Tender loving care"

Marketing - Cosmetics, Beauty / Ad for toilet paper
English term or phrase: "Tender loving care"
The expression is used twice in the ad: first in the title, ie. A LITTLE TLC FOR YOU

then in the body copy, ie

« Nothing says "tender loving care" like the soft treasures you can enjoy in your own home.

The ad shows a plush bathrobe, thick towels, etc.

How should I translate TLC/tender loving care?

I would like to use something else than « soins attentionnés.

Thanks a lot in advance,
