Steps to follow:

1. The exfoliation is one of the most important parts to show off great skin. With this method, you remove dead cells, making way for new cells. When you take a shower, apply a mixture of lemon juice with sugar r to the part of the knees. You can help yourself with a sponge for this, so the effect will be greater. While rubbing the skin in neglected areas, use circular motions.

2. To carry out the exfoliation you can also choose to make a mixture of cocoa butter, with coarse salt and a small tablespoon of almond oil. Remember to apply it to the knees in circular motions. Remove it with lukewarm water after letting it sit for about 5 minutes.

Total hydration. Keeping your skin moist after exfoliation will restore both the nutrients and the properties that it has been losing. Think that with exfoliation your skin will better absorb subsequent treatments. A home remedy that will hydrate your knees is to cut a piece of cucumber and rub it on the skin. You can also grate the cucumber and mix it with skim milk to make a moisturizer. Test it!

5. Applying natural oils will be a way to hydrate your skin on your knees. We recommend rosemary oil, chamomile or apple cider vinegar. Apply these natural moisturizers for three minutes each night before bed or every time you get out of the shower.

6. To avoid the dryness of your knees we recommend you apply the following natural cream. Make a mashed potato and add three tablespoons of almond oil or, failing that, wheat. Apply it to your knee every day for two weeks and let the solution work for about 20 minutes. Then remove it with warm water. You will end the dryness in just 15 days.
