What are the best tricks for getting rid of brown elbows?

Question:

I know lemon juice/lemons are supposed to get rid of the brown, dry elbows, but that doesn't seem to really help me. What are some other tricks to help get rid of them?

Answers:
First of all use moisturizers in a cream base. Oils and lotions are less effective. Second, moisturizers with exfoliants are especially effective when there is excessive scale that is hyperpigmented. Some suggestions: MD Forte sold at some spas; Amlactin cream, Aqua glycolic cream.

When you use a scrub for your face, use in on your elbows as well. And moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!

I'd like to know as well. X+x

Yeah Ive got a really dark elbow where I used to lean on it and play video games, now it wont go away? What happened to it? its been like that since 2001.

hmm...I've never heard of lemon juice (i might try it)

Good lotion usually helps for me. It gets rids of the dry, rough texture and tones down the dark color a bit.

Try some Bio-Oil. It smells like roses and helps even out skin tone.

have you tried bio oil? you can get it at walgreens.com!! good luck!!

vicks vapor rub, had the same problem, used it, cured it. also good for feet
