Stop spending on fake products that don’t hydrate as they should. Find out what is the best way to care for your elbows.
The elbows are one of the areas of the body that often go unnoticed in personal care routines, but proper care can make a big difference in the overall appearance and skin health. For women, keeping elbows hydrated and cared for is not only an aesthetic issue, but also a reflection of well-being and self-care.

The skin on the elbows is especially prone to dryness and roughness due to its constant exposure to rubbing and friction. Furthermore, as it is an area that does not have sebaceous glands, it tends to lose hydration more easily, which can lead to a cracked, flaky or even darkened appearance.

How to hydrate your elbows correctly
Caring for your elbows doesn’t require complicated routines, but it does require some regular attention:
Regular exfoliation
Once or twice a week, use a gentle exfoliator to remove dead skin cells. This helps prevent the buildup of dry skin and maintain an even texture.
Deep hydration
Apply a moisturizer rich in nourishing ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, or hyaluronic acid. Moisturizing should be done daily, preferably after bathing.
Sun protection
Don’t forget to apply sunscreen on your elbows if you are going to expose them to the sun. This helps prevent hyperpigmentation and premature skin aging.
Massages and special care
A gentle massage with essential oils can improve circulation and provide additional nutrients to the skin.
How to clean your elbows when bathing
Proper washing of your elbows is another essential step in your care. Although it seems like a simple gesture, there are some best practices to ensure that your elbows are clean without causing damage:
- Avoid aggressive soaps: Opt for moisturizing soaps or syndets that respect the skin’s natural pH and prevent dryness.
- Do not use very hot water: Warm water is ideal to avoid skin dehydration.
- Soft brushes: If you use a brush or sponge to clean your elbows, make sure it is soft in texture so as not to irritate the skin.
- Drying carefully: Instead of rubbing your elbows with the towel, dry them with gentle touches so as not to damage the skin barrier.
