Welcome to

Welcome to Day 2: Things I bought and did to make myself feel pretty: dry and dark elbow and knee skin So It was dark knees and dark elbows. Alright I still suffe Okay, I am gonna show you an exact picture in the comments of what I purchased that I know has worked. This is a new purchase because they didn't have my exact brand on Walmart. Anyways, the other one is from Amazon. It is a certain percentage of urea cream. I think it's urea cream and then with 2% salicylic acid. Um, I believe it's identical to this. But what I will say is the Amazon brand one that I got, that one has a grittier texture to it, so it's more like paste. So what I recommend is you get the pasty, the gritty pasty one. You put it on your knees and your elbows, then you follow it up with a Vaseline or an Aquaphor, some sort of jelly, because that makes it absorb quicker and I think just better. Because what I've noticed is before I started putting on the Vaseline on, I would um, see like streaks inside the creases of my elbows. And when I tell you my elbows were so dry that they were catching on my knitted sweaters, okay? Disgusting. Disgusting and uncomfortable. So um, I ended up just putting that um, solution on And I would do it at night so that I'd avoid like going out in public in the day and like, you know, people saying that, because I'm not very great at rubbing lotions in all the time. And I say, this is somebody who does moisturise everyday. I moisturise everyday with a body cream, alright? Um, all over my body. But for some reason my elbows and my knees just need a little extra care. And that's okay, but that is what I had to do to take care of it. Right now, like I said, I'm currently suffering from this because I fell off. I stopped doing it. So I do not have current pictures. I will see if I have before and afters. If I do have before and afters, I promise you they'll be in the comments of this. Otherwise I'll give you an update. I promise. I promise. I'm gonna go ahead and just show you what I'm currently working with. So this is actually not as bad as it used to be cause my skin's smoother now, but as you can tell, they're still dark. They're still dark. And once again, it's because I haven't been focusing on it. But you don't. This does not catch on my sweater, which is a really big deal to me because that was what was catching on. Let me see if I can show you my knees. Okay, this is like an awkward angle, but you can see, right there and then right here. Listen, I've seen knees worse than this because I had knees worse than this. I will not say it's perfect yet, because I know it's not perfect yet, but I know that with continued use and consistency, I'm gonna get to where I want. So that's what I recommend. If you guys have good options down below, please feel free to comment them because I'm willing to try anything. But so far, this has worked for me so greatly and I have not been very consistent with it. Um, I've noticed the softness coming back to my, um, elbows and my knees. Um, I would just like to be back to the point where I was, which is basically gone with that dark spots.
