How to get rid of dry and scaly elbows:
The high pressure joints like knees, elbows and heels needs some cushion, that is the reason the skin over these joints is thicker. Some extra padding is good for protection, but scaly buildup on elbows is really uncomfortable and unattractive. Even those who devote considerable time to groom and clean their skin can be guilty of overlooking this flaky spot.
Well, No matter how long you have been ignoring your elbows (and other rough and dry parts) there are certain ways to get rid of dry and scaly buildup (leaving your skin soft and supple) :
1. Halve a lemon and add a few pinches of sugar/ salt and rub it on the rough/ scaly skin for 5 minutes.
2. Exfoliate once or twice a week.
3. Moisturize your elbows using a thick cream or petroleum jelly especially before going to bed.
4. Coconut oil works great in doing away with dry and scaly skin.
5. When the dryness situation is really dire; soak them in raw milk for 10 minutes.
Note: Thick red skin with flaky white patches can be psoriasis. In that case you need to consult a dermatologist.

How to get Soft, Beautiful and Youthful hands:
Do you want to have soft, supple
and youthful hands?
Pamper your hands with tender loving
care and follow these simple points:
1. Moisturize:
Keep your moisturizer somewhere
close -within easy access, so that you can apply it on your hands time and
again everyday especially during winters. As every time you wash your hands
they strip off some moisture, so in order to compensate the moisture loss you need
to smear on the moisturizer at regular intervals. Apply the moisturizer on your
cuticles as well to avoid cracking and drying.
2. Apply
Sunscreen:
As far as sun protection is concerned,
we concentrate on our face and neck and forget about the hands. As our hands
are exposed to sun even they need protection from harmful UV rays. So, don’t forget to apply sunscreen with SPF
15-30 on your hands before leaving home.
3. Gentle
wash:
Use a mild and anti-bacterial
soap/hand wash to prevent dryness (as dryness can cause the hands to look
older).
4. Protection
during domestic chores:
Always wear gloves while washing
the dishes or whenever your hands are exposed to harsh detergents and hot
water.

Dark chocolate keeps you young:
Do you know the delicious bar can even "Turn back the clock"!!!
Chocolate (especially dark
chocolate) is rich in antioxidants and contains anti-aging properties as well. It
increases the production of collagen which helps in skin tightening
and renewal, thereby delaying the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
It imparts a healthy glow to your
skin keeping it young and glowing.
Note:
Stick on to unsweetened and high-quality chocolate (with at least 70 percent
cocoa) not the sugary milk bars.

irresistible) and avoid the use of soaps during winters. As, harsh soaps and hot water

- As far as possible, go for home made body packs and choose a moisturizing soap/body wash enriched with emollients like Cocoa butter, Shea butter, Aloevera, Milk cream etc.
- Always nourish your body with a daily moisturizer to restore its moisture, after the shower.

7 Biggest Exfoliating mistakes:
Exfoliation is one of the pivotal elements of a woman's beauty regime as it aids in
removing dead skin cells, dirt and impurities from the skin's top layer
giving you soft, supple and radiant skin but we tend to take the exfoliation part so easy and snappy, that we can hardly think of any possible exfoliating mistake. However
there are a number of ways you might be harming your skin while exfoliating
instead of imparting any help to it.
So
beauties don’t devastate your skin any more by making any of the mistakes
listed below:
1. Dry Exfoliation (without water):
When the very thought of dry
scrubbing is so painful just imagine the damage it can cause to your skin, as
dry scrubbing creates a lot of friction on your face thereby harming the sensitive
skin. Always splash some water on your face before you start exfoliating as it
helps in lubricating the skin and makes the scrubbing easier.
2. Using the wrong product:
For choosing the right product
for exfoliating your skin, the golden rule is to go for a mild scrub (one with
rounded micro beads is gentle) and avoid the one with scratchy or pointed beads
or particles.
3. Exfoliating dirty/unclean skin:
Use a mild cleanser to cleanse
your face before scrubbing and make sure that your skin is free from any sort
of dirt, grime and makeup before you start exfoliating. As dirt or grime on the
skin hinders the job of the scrub, can even clog the skin pores instead of
cleaning them.
4. Too much Exfoliation:
Most of the women are tempted to
use the scrub quite often with an idea “The more the better and cleaner” but
this is not true. Limit the use of scrub once or twice a week (once a week is
just perfect).
5. Using wrong technique (for exfoliation):
Avoid vigorous rubbing and strong
strokes, as your facial skin is delicate. Gently wipe out dead skin cells using
a mild scrub (in a circular motion) for not more than 15-20 second.
6. Exfoliating distressed skin :
When your skin is irritated or is
in a bad condition defer the use of scrub until your skin recovers its natural
health. Scrubbing your skin in its vulnerable state can even worsen the skin
problems.
7. Skipping moisturizer:
Pamper your skin with a mild
moisturizer after exfoliating your skin. As scrubbing may leave your skin dry
hence it is really important to slather on the moisturizer immediately after
exfoliating to take care of freshly cleansed pores.
