Why Do Certain Areas of the Skin Become Dryer than Others?
The skin covering the elbows, knees, and feet is thicker in texture to protect the underlying bones from harm since we use them often. This thicker skin is more susceptible to the type of dryness and moisture loss that occurs when the humidity drops. In addition, these areas of the skin undergo a great deal of abuse during the day as you lean your elbows, kneel on knees, and walk on many different types of surfaces. Special care must be taken to keep these areas of the skin soft and moisturized. AEGEIA Revitalize Hand Polish or AEGEIA Repair & Heel Smoothing Foot Scrub can be used to exfoliate the area. Then AEGEIA Deep Hydration Body Balm should be used once a day, or as necessary, to lubricate and heal the damaged, dehydrated skin.
