Softening Rough Dry Elbows

I do not know how many of you struggle with dry skin, but I DO! This tip came from a makeover solutions website:

Don't go further than your pantry for a solution to those rough leathery elbows. First, cut the toes off a clean pair of cotton tube socks; then smooth a layer of Crisco (or other brand of vegetable shortening) over elbows and pull the socks up to cover. Leave the shortening on for an hour or overnight. This treatment can also be effective on knees, hands, or feet.

Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Have a safe and joyous holiday season!
