I wasn't entirely sure if this was a Health (it's problem a mental health problem, to be honest) or S&A topic, so I made a judgement call.
Anyway, does anyone else really hate their knees? I admit that I'm a bit of a lazy bastard when it comes to moisturising etc as it's so time-consuming and boring unless you can persuade someone else to grease you up. BUT I do pay attention to the parts that get driest like elbows and knees, most days. However I always still feel like they look a bit... dirty and dry, or something. Then I see those bitches on the shaving adverts and want nice knees like theirs, it really gets me down (it doesn't really, I'm not that much of a twat
). It has to be said that most gals I see out and about also have horrible knees, so maybe I am just a harsh judge of knee skin... people I have asked don't seem to understand what the problem is!
So yes, share the secrets of beautiful knees, elbows and other dry bits. I want to look show my knobbly knees off with pride :razz:

I have psoriasis so I have to moisturise every day. It's really not that much of a chore, especially if you're really that bothered about it.
:grump:
Not the answer I wanted, Ilora. But I suspected as much!
I can't believe I'm even thinking about this, but now it's popped into my head I am obsessed. Maybe I should get a job... :chin: :razz:
they're not really much drier than my other skin and dont look manky or dirty.
I rarely moisturise them either, so im not sure why they are ok. I have been told though that i do have exceptionally soft skin in general- so maybe thats why?
It really is about exfoliating and moisturising regularly.
My elbows are covered in scars from artex injuries when my brother used to ram me into it, bastard.
Nope don't think we do. My mate bought us some stuff back from there everytime she went america to see family, and I loved the lipbalm so much I sent her there with money for more. Unfortunetly, there was none of the flavour/colour I'd had the last time, so she just chose another one. The pink lipbalm of doom I call it.
My lips cracked and swelled up , puffed out to rival the protrusion of my nose! Stupidly, me and my mum thouhgt it was a combination of the bad weather, a chest infection and glanudular fever was having on me *all my neck was swollen after all!* so I kept using it to moisturize them. Took me a month to realise there was lanolin in it (I'm allergic, but had never encourtered it really!). We tried to find somewhere so we could take the others my mate had bought me back, but we were stumped. So it went in the bin, because my mum didn't like it and my sisters allergic to something else in it
Lesson for this week kiddies: Always check labels!

Well they look normal today, it's not really that there's dry skin, just they're a darker colour as girlinthecurl said about her elbows. Weird, but I guess since they have tougher and more flexible skin than most of the rest of our bodies it's normal. Ho hum.
nicx, that sounds awful... I still laughed
