How to take care of dry elbows (REQUEST)

''The ''Lift and Tone'' is great, can you write some home made spa procedures for the body? I have dry elbows and I really hope you would have something that could help me, thanks.''
 
 First I want to apologize for the late response, I just finished my summer brake and had to go back to work and school. But I promise that I will keep posting for those of you who follow my blog. Thank you for the interest :)
 
 Ok so, dry elbows, maybe we should start off with the causes....If you have dry skin, there is an excellent chance for your elbows to become dry with time, especially considering how often we use them as mini stands to hold your head, read a book, lean on a surface and so 
forth. I would advice you to try avoiding doing that, or cut back on it.  Dry elbows may also be a symptom of an improperly functioning thyroid gland. If you've tried all kinds of things and they didn't work, you should visit a doctor. 
 
 I don't really have that much experience with dry elbows because I’m ''blessed'' with oily skin, which means that my skin is resistant to wrinkles and dry spots. As are all the ladies with oily skin, so count yourself lucky girls ;). But i know that for dry skin usually sea salt is very helpful. 
 
 You could try mixing A little bit of sea salt with olive oil and steer it until it turns into a thick paste, you could also use sugar, but i think that salt would be better, and don't forget, sea salt, not the regular one. Leave it on your skin for 10-20 minutes and wash off.

 You could remove the dead skin from your elbows with the juice of one lemon and sea salt, again mixed into a  nice thick paste, put it on your elbows and scrub for a  few minutes, then wash off. This is helpful but you'd have to do it several times a week for a  few weeks before it shows.
 I hope this will help you, let me know how it worked out for you in the comments. :)
