Hey everyone, I'm having a problem with really dry knees right now. I exfoliate and even use a loofah to scrub with the exfoliator still on. No matter how much lotion I put on, they never get any better. What can I do?

I like Philosophy Soul Owner Foot Cream. It's actually more of a treatment than a moisterizer. It has glycolic acid in it that will chemically exfoliate dry skin cells. It's more potent than other foot creams. And I suggest using it on your feet, elbows and knees ONLY. Once I got a little of it inbetween my toes where the skin is baby soft already , and it burned my skin, it was raw for a few days. After using this product nightly and when you get your skin where you want it, then don't use it everyday. You can then start maintaining it with a moisterizering body butter, but you can still use the Soul Owner maybe once or twice a week ad needed to maintain.

Maybe you should exfoliate less as well - sometimes depending on your skin type over exfoliation by physical means (something rough) can be too drying especially for sensitive or already dry skin types - and maybe try an oil like coconut oil or jojoba oil over your moisturizer to additional lock in moisture

Oh, that's too bad. Here is another similar product. Has salicylic acid instead of glycolic acid. Same concept. A treatment, not a moisterizer. To be used on knees, elbows and feet. This product does have more of a greasy ointment texture whereas the Soul Owner was like thick lotion/cream texture.

After shaving, I exfoliate with a coconut oil and sugar mix. Then I use Eucarin lotion on them. I had terribly dry knees until I started that routine!

The really nice thing is, I saw results immediately! My legs never felt softer lol.

My knees were really dry and I exfoliated then I put Vaseline on them before I went to sleep or you can try to rub half a lemon in your knees (this also works for elbows)
