Tips For Avoiding Dry Elbows, Knees And Shins

When it’s cold, your sebaceous glands produce less sebum. Cold temperatures and dry air from heating systems can also deprive your skin of moisture. Plus, some areas of your skin dry out quicker than others and need additional care all year round, not just during the colder months.

Treat your skin to rich care with these three simple tips to avoid dry skin and be rewarded with beautiful, healthy skin:

1. LEMON FOR DRY ELBOWS

Try rubbing dry elbows with a lemon. This is a natural scrub with citric acid.
As it doesn’t contain any rough exfoliating granules, it’s particularly gentle on your skin.

Always follow up with a moisturiser. You’ll be surprised at how soft and supple they feel.

2. RICH MOISTURISER FOR DRY KNEES

The rich daily care of NIVEA Rich Nourishing Body Lotion restores moisture to the skin on your dry knees whether it’s applied during the day or the night.

This formula nourishes your skin with essential vitamins and leaves it smooth and supple

3. THREE STEPS TO GET RID OF DRY SHINS

Follow these three simple steps:

a. Body-brush
Before getting into the shower, body brush your shins to help to get rid of any dry flakes sitting on your skin’s surface.

b. Body scrub
Using your hands, rub a good body scrub into your dry shins.

c. Shower and moisturise
After you've showered and semi-dried, lather your prepared shins in a good quality lotion or body oil.

NIVEA’s 4 in 1 Firming Body Oil with Q10 nourishes dry skin intensively, evens skin tone and even reduces the appearance of stretch marks.

Our unique fast absorbing formula with coenzyme Q10, avocado oil, cottonseed oil and macadamia oil, also helps prevent sagging skin to give you firmer, even looking beautiful skin.

You can also prevent feelings of tightness and itching on dry shins with NIVEA Repair and Care Body Lotion.

The non-greasy formula contains panthenol, which plays a major role in your skin’s metabolism and prevents moisture loss by strengthening your skin’s protective barrier.
