In summer we constantly apply sunscreen: before the sun, after the sun, after shaving, before going out. Short dresses and shorts are a constant reminder to take care of our legs. In winter it's "out of sight, out of mind". At colder temperatures, the legs disappear in long clothes and are quickly forgotten. At least until the skin on the legs has turned into graters. That often doesn't take long at all. After all, not only the neglected treatment plays against this skin area.
So what really helps against rough skin on the legs? A holistic routine. It is best to reserve a few minutes for your care ritual in the morning. And also keep an eye on everyday things that affect your skin health. Just do a small cure over the next 4-6 weeks in which you consistently implement the following points. By the way, that's how long it takes us to acquire new habits.

You can already sand down furniture with your shins? Then they need help immediately. For cases of hardship there is Urea. Your body makes this urea itself. It is a natural component of the skin's NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factor). There it binds water due to its strong hygroscopic properties. In addition, urea has a keratolytic effect: it promotes natural desquamation during skin renewal. That is why urea makes brittle legs smooth again.
☝️ By the way: Cosmetic urea is produced chemically. That is why urea is not permitted in natural cosmetics, although it is also found in the skin. So you only find it in conventional or medical skin care.
So here is my final SOS tip for grater legs: Use UreaRepair Plus with 30% urea from Eucerin for two weeks. The dose is extremely high and helps especially on calloused skin areas such as knees, heels or elbows. Because it promotes desquamation so strongly, it is only suitable for short-term use. As soon as the skin area is smooth again, you should switch back to your normal oil care.
You cannot always completely avoid dry skin and calluses. They are to a certain extent a matter of assessment. Sometimes a drought surprises you too. Maybe you've been more stressed than you'd like to admit. Or maybe your skin is going through a change. Then it's good to have a contingency plan.
However, it is even better to prevent dry skin as much as possible. This works with the above instructions, i.e. dry brushing, gently cleaning, caring for with the
