Dark knees and elbows might be caused by an accumulation of dead skin cells, friction, excessive sun exposure, or a hormonal imbalance. Because certain areas of our bodies lack oil glands, it's critical to protect them from dryness through good care and hygiene.
We present simple yet highly efficient strategies for nourishing your skin and removing dark areas

 

Cucumber

Cucumber is one of the most efficient treatments to get rid of dark knees and elbows due to its bleaching capabilities. It moisturises your skin while removing dead skin cells. Cucumbers include vitamins A and C, which help to keep the skin looking young and healthy.

For 15 minutes, gently apply thick cucumber slices over your elbows and knees.
Allow it to sit for another 5 minutes before rinsing with cool water.

Cucumber and lemon juice can also be mixed in equal parts. Knees, elbows, and underarms should all be treated with the combination. Allow it to sit for 20 minutes before rinsing it off. Make it a habit to do this on a daily basis.

 

Baking soda and lemon

Lemon is a powerful skin lightening agent. It's high in antioxidants and vitamin C, which help to promote skin regeneration and improve the appearance of the skin. For whitening dark spots of skin, baking soda is a gentle and effective cleaner.

Cut a lemon in half to make two halves.
1 tbsp baking soda, sprinkled on top of the lemon
1 minute of elbow and knee rubbing
Allow 15 minutes to pass before rinsing with warm water.
To achieve the desired result, repeat once every two days.

 

Milk and aloe vera

Aloe Vera has ingredients that hydrate your skin and level out your skin tone. Antibacterial and antifungal activities are also present. The usage of Aloe Vera and milk together is a simple and effective technique to naturally brighten your skin.

Apply the mixture to your skin in equal parts milk and Aloe Vera gel.
It's best if you leave it on overnight and then wash it off the next day.

You can also apply the gel extracted from the Aloe Vera leaf on your knees and elbows. Allow it to sit for 20 minutes before washing it off with warm water.

 

Potato

Potatoes are high in catecholase enzymes, which help to lighten your skin tone naturally. Potatoes soften your skin and help you get rid of dark spots if you use them on a daily basis.

Grate the potato, squeeze out the juice, and use it to moisturise your skin.
Allow it to sit on your skin for 15 minutes before rinsing it off.
Apply a moisturiser to your skin.
You can also apply a potato cut into slices on your elbows and knees for 10-15 minutes and then wash it off
