There are some skin conditions, such as eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis, that can show up on your elbows, so always check with your doctor before trying any home remedies. The first step to banishing dry ashy elbows is to exfoliate the skin. You can do this by rubbing in a circular motion with a textured sponge or loofah cloth. Don't rub too hard or you can damage your skin. The elbow actually is kind of delicate. Pat dry and apply a rich moisturizer. For extra hydration, try moisturizing your elbows before bed and sleeping with a fitted long sleeved shirt on.
