I dunno, but I grew up playing a lot of sports and being really active, and I just noticed the other day while sitting around doing nothing how quite dirty my elbows are!! I probably have ignored really scrubbing them in the shower all these years (eugh -sick!) anybody know what the best way to clean up my elbows is???

Just wonderin' =)

Viper is right. Use either cold cream or Vasaline Skin Lotion and rub it into the dirty areas then wash!

Dump some baking soda on a lemon half, then scrub your elbows with it. The baking soda acts as an exfoliator to rub off the dead skin and the lemon helps to lighten the skin. After you're done, wash your elbows with water to get the stuff off, then put any kind of lotion on them.

Keep doing that and your elbows will be clean in no time. :)

Guppy, it will hurt for the first couple times you clean them real good...

Imagine not brushing your teeth for a month, and then one day decide too...

Your gums would be in excruciating pain...

Eeewwwwwwwwww! nasty! My elbows look fine to me... hmm. If they're dirty, how about washing them? lol :)

I think if you just started washing them every time you're in the shower, they'd become clean as anything else on you..

Ooh, I'm so tempted to try it now... but I think I may be over doing it after the scrubbing of cold creme, ChrichtonsGirl!

use hot water and keep scrubbing until the 'dry' skin starts coming off...that will make it a whole lot cleaner
