Two Things That Helped My Elbows To Get Really Soft Really Fast.
Okay, sure, "really soft" & "really fast" could be kind of subjective, but still.
- Exfoliation.
- Moisturization.
Do these two things consistently or even semi-consistently for softer skin.
The results can be practically immediate, most likely being softer after just the first time, and then getting even softer as this is done somewhat consistently. (It could vary from person to person, though. I just know that it didn't necessarily take "forever" for me.)
If you have sandpaper-ey elbows (or even knees or just rough patches on your face / on your body), just try to do these things somewhat consistently ... even if not daily. It doesn't even necessarily have to be every single day.
You don't even necessarily have to do the exfoliation and the moisturization in the same amounts. Just an example: Exfoliate almost weekly, moisturize almost daily. Et cetera. It could maybe vary.
I barely started to semi-consistently keep my elbows exfoliated and moisturized about / around two[-ish] months ago, and, no, it didn't take that long for them to get softer. My elbows already became softer a while ago, even kind of after the first time / the first few times, getting softer as I kept up with it, but I still keep up with this "process". And not necessarily just my elbows, either, but they were pretty sandpaper-ey before.
Honestly, the results are practically instant (not necessarily saying that they'll always be completely perfect, but results are results ... right?), and they can get softer over time, and I'm not just making that up. I'm not just trying to sell you some product or to give you false hope. It was pretty immediate. I mean, depending on the degree of roughness, the results might vary from person to person.
Basically, what I've been using to exfoliate - and not just my elbows, either - were those vegan-friendly / cruelty-free exfoliating wax strips from Nad's [the pomegranate & pink grapefruit ones]. But you could also maybe just get something else for it, like an exfoliating body brush, an exfoliating washcloth, and / or an exfoliating scrub, and then maybe see how whatever you choose works out for you. You could even improvise, probably: a pumice stone, a nail file, a foot / body file, et cetera.
For moisturization: oils and / or lotions. Two of the moisturizing things that I've been using (other than just water & "experimenting" with the banana peels trick ... hehehe ... yes, I did try that one): coconut oil & the vegan-friendly / cruelty-free lotion Kiss My Face rich kiss tropical coconut 2 in 1 moisturize & soften [but I just barely started using that one a little bit of a while ago, & the exact brand / the exact probably isn't necessarily the most essential part ... as long as you have something that moisturizes]. The results between oils and lotions could vary, though, so maybe you could just find out whatever works out for you. You could also use olive oil, avocado, or even banana peels. There's also the Nad's moisture + soothing face balm for after hair removal (it comes with the Nad's facial hair removal créme) and / or the NAD'S post wax oil wipes (which come with the previously mentioned exfoliating wax strips).
Also, drinking enough water can help to keep you hydrated. Skin is an organ, too, after all. (The largest organ, in fact.)
