Elbows are dry because there are fewer oil glands on the skin & the skin is thinner around joints.
Exfoliate w/ a paste made of sugar & water or olive oil. Rinse well & apply a thick moisturizer like Vaseline each night.

Dont know what makes them dry, maybe because they have thicker skin than other parts of your body. I use Jergens ultra healing moisturizing lotion...they sell it at Walmart for about $3 for a good sized bottle. It works in a day or 2.

you should buy some cural lotion from wal mart it works good for that type of stuff cause i use it it works very well.forget all about the other answer listen to me take it from a person who used to have ashy elbows.

I have the same problem.
My solution: Try Neutrogena (Norwegian Formula) Hand cream. It works great on my elbows and lasts all day.
