Cold, wind, dry air, hot water and clothes rubbing all contribute to the skin on your elbows becoming dehydrated, but there are some simple steps you can take every day to help.

The skin o your elbows is wrinkled and full of small folds that protect the joints and allow a large range of movement. This area has fewer sebaceous glands. These glands produce sebum, an oily substance that lubricates the skin. This area is also exposed to a lot of friction, another factor in dehydration. With a few simple steps and by using the right products, you can still keep this area of your skin hydrated and protected.
