Many people notice that the skin on the folds of their arms darkens, becomes rough and stops responding to the usual moisturizing lotions. Often the cause is sought in friction against the table or hard water, but the real problem lies in the thinning of the protective lipid layer. When the heating is turned on, the air in the rooms becomes dry, so the epidermis loses moisture and begins to actively become coarser. You can cope with this without salon peelings and aggressive scrubs.
It is enough in the evening to apply a thick layer of nourishing balm with panthenol or regular baby cream to problem areas. The product should be beaten in with light circular movements until completely absorbed, and then wrap your elbows in cling film for fifteen minutes. Before going to bed, remove the film and leave the remaining cream on the skin. After just four days, the roughness disappears, the fabrics become velvety to the touch and no longer cling to the sleeves. After a week, the color evens out, and when wearing open clothes, there is no need to mask areas with concealer.
The key is consistency. The oily texture not only masks dryness, but creates an impenetrable barrier that retains moisture inside and triggers natural cell renewal. With regular repetition of the procedure, the skin remains smooth even when in contact with synthetics and cold air.
