So there I was looking at the photo that I posted the other day and I thought to myself: "hey you look pretty good for an Old Dog"! 

That is until my eyes focused on my elbow! It was then that my thoughts changed to: "man do your elbows ever make you look old"!

I thought that I looked pretty good until I looked at the area in the red circle!

Old Elbows? Is This a Worldwide Problem?

Hey man I'm going to turn 60 next year and I was wondering if having old looking elbows was a universal problem or just my own personal defect?

Wow, I'm not alone at all! 

In an article in Huffington Post entitled "The 6 Body Parts That Reveal Your Age First" by writer Shelley Emling she listed elbows as the 5th trouble area on the human body.

Here's what she stated about my unsightly elbows:

"Unfortunately, there’s not a lot that can be done about the loose skin developing on your elbows. You can try using a moisturizer or cream — or wearing long-sleeved shirts. Take comfort in the fact that you are not alone — most people suffer from dry skin on their elbows as they age. To blame are the sun, stress, smoking, not enough liquids and the loss of sweat and oil glands."
