I have really dry scaly elbows. I have tried everything to get rid of this. They feel so bad that when rubbed against someone it scratches the individual and they look at my elbows to see if they look like sandpaper. They drive me crazy, but I have tried everything. Any great homemade remedies?

Thanks,
Angelheart from Clyde, TX

Hi Angelheart! Sorry about your problem elbows. I tried most of the posts about heating Olive oil, using Crisco, with a tube sock and etc. and they worked (for a while) but time consuming and troublesome to do. They are also greasy, oily and get on other parts of you skin and can clog the pores, causing more problem skin areas on your body. I told a friend about it and she gave me a simple solution. She said to use Desert Wind Skin Care products on a daily basis. If interested, contact DesertWind AT cebridge.net.

You'll be amazed. All products are pure, all natural and contain top grade soothing, healing emu oil. I also use Desert Wind skin care soap and shampoo. If you decide to use Desert Wind, your skin will love it! Mine does! Good luck and smooth elbows!

My legs, arms and feet were all itchy and flaky. I put "Desert Wind Cream Lotion" on them and now they are as smooth as a baby's bottom. Really, try it! You'll have the same in weeks

Wanna get rid of yorr sandpaper elbows? Do it the Mexican way! Lemons! Cut them in half and rub them against your elbows for 10 minutes.

Try Desert Wind Skin Care cream. It is loaded with Emu oil, olive oil and cayenne. It will heal the elbows and knees within a week. Works great on dry chaffed skin.

Burt's Bees makes a really nice product called the Coconut Foot Creme. I put it on both my feet and elbows a couple times a week, and put socks over each, and my results have been fantastic.

Salt water is the best cure. Soak for 10 minutes per day for 1 week, guaranteed they will be gone.

I use olive oil and salt rub. Just mix olive oil (walmart has a cheaper version) and regular table salt. Scrub your elbows and feet -- gets them supper smooth. Watch out for small cuts on fingers though, salt will make them burn.

try dr. scholl's pedicure essentials foot cream. i know its for your feet, but it works wonders. i couldn't even put on a t-shirt without my elbow's snagging on the fabric.
just put it on 2-3 times a day, and you'll see results in several days!

been there. try using protroleum jelly. place a lot on each elbow then cover elbows with old socks with the foot part cut off. do this before going to bed and leave on overnight. might have to do it for about 4 days depending on how bad they are.

Try a paste of olive oil and sugar, and rub the dry skin gently in a circluar motion. Rinse off and pat dry, then add the type of lotion you like. You should see a difference in a short time.

I use (from k-mart) the store brand of Eucerine cream. I used it 2-3 times a day, massaged in well, until my elbows were baby-butt smooth. Then only once a day. You do have to maintain. Excellent for all over body dryness. I use it in the mornings so it doesn't ruin my sheets.

The first thing you need to do is scrub off the dead skin in the shower. I use a sandpaper block (wet). Do this morning and night. Then load on the moisturizer. If you buy a bottle of sweet almond oil, this is the most intensive treatment. Apply with a cotton ball. Maintenance is the key - no skipping! Good luck!

Many years ago I read a funny story in Reader's Digest from a woman who had breakfast each morning at the same restaurant. One morning she mentioned that she had rough, dry elbows and did anyone have a solution. The waitress said, "You need butter." So she put butter on her elbows every night. Two weeks later, she showed off her soft, smooth elbows to the waitress and thanked her profusely. The waitress said, "You needed butter for your pancakes. I got you 2 pats."

Hi, wash your elbows with baking soda. Put some on the palm of your hand & rub on wet elbow. This will make it smoother in just a few days. Do it every night. This also works on dry heels. Then moisturize. Very cheap & effective treatment!

Olive oil, warmed slightly in the micro (not too hot!) with a piece of plastic over it for 4-5 minutes
