Thick hard skin on knees

The skin on my knees is actually worse than my heels! I’ve been tempted to try footner on it but that doesn’t seem the smartest idea!

Ordinary moisturiser does nothing. Any suggestions?

Ameliorate moisturiser really helped my dry knees. I also used a fine nail file to smooth the skin a bit as there was quite a callous!

Korean Italy towels. Cheap as chips on amazon.

I used my ped egg on my knees and elbows. Was the only thing that helped.

Oh my god yes me! Mine are awful. I have been using cracked heel balm on them (with urea in it) but have yet to see a difference. It looks awful.
I'm also trying to remember not to sit with my knees folded under me, apparently it can eventually callous the skin in your knees and just above your ankle on the top of your feet.

Foot cream with the highest % of urea you can find.

I started using foot cream on my knees last year and this year they finally look a bit better, not perfect but better.
They'll probably look great by the time I'm 70

Baby oil on wet skin works wonders, then towel dry it off slightly.

I stay stood up in the bath, after a shower, then baby oil on arms & legs then towel dry gently, and you can put moisturiser on after.

Dont slip in the bath!

Definitely a few things to try! I’ve got some foot cream somewhere, will dig it out until I can get some good stuff. Have one of those Korean towels as well.
