Ok so I have rough dark skin on my knees and I've had them for as long as I remember. They're kind of grey and my mum says it's because of all the dry skin when I used to crawl on my knees. Anyway, is there anyway I can get rid of this? They look so weird when I'm wearing a bathing suit.
tiffanyD answered Monday July 17 2006, 10:24 pm: get a good exfoliant, and if it doesn't hurt, an emery board or heel file. it's just dead, dry skin that stays dirty. again, get a good exfoliant and a loofah, and scrub it off. maybe have a long warm bath, it will soften the skin. apply lotion liberally, and in the tub, use your exfoliating cleanser and loofah ( or whatever). remember to apply some gentle moisturizer once you're out of the tub, or it might hurt a little. there is a type of cream that you can get, i've used it, and my mother uses it for her dry, cracked heels. it's called prevex cream, and you can get it in the drugstore section at walmart. apply that before you use your loofah or pumice stone, or file. it will soften the skin. good luck!!
