Body Exfoliation 101: Why Hands, Feet, and Elbows Deserve Extra Love

We often focus on our face or the parts of our body we see most, but hands, feet, and elbows are some of the first areas to show dryness, roughness, or buildup.

Regular exfoliation for these areas can make a noticeable difference, leaving your skin softer, smoother and healthier.

With the Lucy Bee Exfoliating Body Mitt and Hand & Body Cream, caring for these often-neglected areas is simple, natural, and effective.

Why These Areas Get Rough

Hands: Frequent washing, exposure to cold, and daily chores can strip moisture and leave the skin dry.

Feet: Wearing shoes and walking exposes feet to friction and calluses.

Elbows: Naturally thicker skin and frequent bending can lead to dryness and rough patches.

These areas need gentle, consistent care to keep skin smooth and comfortable.

 

Step 1: Exfoliate Gently

The Lucy Bee Exfoliating Body Mitt is perfect for these areas:

• Dampen your skin and mitt.
• Massage gently in circular motions over hands, feet, and elbows.
• Rinse thoroughly.

Exfoliating regularly removes dead skin cells, softens rough patches, and helps moisturisers absorb better.

Step 2: Moisturise and Nourish

After exfoliating, hydrate with Lucy Bee Hand & Body Cream:

Hands: Apply generously and massage into cuticles and knuckles.

Feet: Focus on heels, toes, and soles for softness.

Elbows: Smooth over thicker patches for hydration and comfort.

Moisturising after exfoliation ensures your skin stays nourished, soft, and protected throughout the day.

 

Extra Tips for Smooth, Healthy Skin

• Exfoliate 1–3 times per week depending on skin type.
• Wash your mitt regularly to keep it clean and effective.
• For extra hydration, apply a thicker layer of Hand & Body Cream overnight and cover with socks or gloves.

These simple steps keep often-neglected areas feeling and looking their best.
