1
Exfoliate your elbows first to remove dead skin cells and create smoother skin. Massage your elbows in circular motions with a light scrub or a mixture of sugar and olive oil.
2
Apply a heavy moisturizer or body lotion on your elbows on a daily basis, especially after showering or bathing when the skin is still damp.
3
To deeply nourish and hydrate your elbows, consider applying natural oils such as coconut oil, almond oil, or jojoba oil.
4
Avoid leaning on hard surfaces or rubbing your elbows against rough objects, since this might aggravate the skin even more.
5
Tight garments might cause dryness by rubbing against the elbows. Choose loose-fitting sleeves or textiles that are mild on the skin, such as cotton.
6
Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body hydrated from within. Hydrated skin is less prone to dryness.
7
Dry indoor air, including your elbows, can lead to dry skin. Use a humidifier in your house to give moisture to the air and keep your skin from drying out.
8
When exposed to the sun, apply sunscreen on your elbows, as prolonged sun exposure can cause dryness and injury.
