Struggling with rough, dry elbows? These dermatologist-approved tips will help restore smooth, soft skin effortlessly.
1. Moisturize your elbows daily. For maximum results, apply Vaseline before bed, cut open an old sock, and wear it over your elbows overnight. You'll wake up to noticeably softer skin as it absorbs deeply.
2. Build the habit of targeting your elbows. After showering with body lotion, give them an extra layer. When applying hand cream, extend a thin coat to your elbows too.
3. Secret weapon: Rub the inside of a banana peel on your elbows. It really works to hydrate and soothe.
4. Hot water strips moisture from skin. Shield your elbows by applying Vaseline before showering.
