Treating Dark Elbows and Knees Is Easy

Written by Author on . Posted in Herbal Treatments

The dark skin on your elbows and knees is quite common. There could be several reasons for the cause of the skin appearing darker than the other parts of your body. Some of the more common reasons for dark elbows and knees are over exposure to sun, dryness, inadequate skin care, and heredity.  This may not be a very serious issue but it definitely causes embarrassment for womenfolk. Hence, it is helpful to make the skin tone lighter in these areas so that you can wear that favorite dress without any embarrassment next time you are going out.

There are different types of creams and lotions as well as bleaches which help lighten dark skin. Choose to go for natural and herbal products so that the harsh chemicals in the regular cream bottles do not harm your skin. You can also choose to go for some simple home remedies if you want to go through the trouble of finding the right ingredients in your kitchen.

You must exfoliate your skin regularly. You can get different mild but effective scrubs for yourself from the stores. Get rid of the dead skin cells which are one of the main reasons for skin darkening. Another effective method for skin lightening is using lemon juice which acts as a natural bleaching agent. It is more gentle on skin than actual bleach and gives you desired results after a few weeks. Just dip a cotton pad in fresh lemon juice and then rub it on your elbows and knees for some time. Let the juice stay for about 15 minutes before you wash it off. If possible, repeat this process twice a day. If you have dry skin then just use a light moisturizer each time. Let us know how it works out for you!
