5 Tips to Cure Darked Knees and Elbows
There are a large majority of us that have dark or black elbows,
knees, and sometimes other parts of our body and having the right
skin care tips and techniques will help you fight this issue. The
reason that people want to get rid of there black spots on their
because it is either itchy and irritating to have or it’s not attractive to
have. There is certain ways to get rid of this situation whether it’s
products over the counter and even home remedies with every day
items that you will have around the house. Since there are several
ways to get rid of this I’m going to give you 5 easy and effective tips
to help you with this medical issue.
1. Using Milk, Honey, and Turmeric – Like I had mentioned
before there are natural ways of skin care to get of the unsightly blemishes. Most people have turmeric,
honey, and milk in their kitchen somewhere. The milk naturally acts like a bleach, turmeric has certain
antiseptic properties, and honey is a great natural moisturizer. Mix together the milk, honey, and turmeric
to make a workable paste. Once you have mixed everything together you can either use your hands or a
popsicle stick to the dark the spots on your body. After you have applied it to your trouble spots you need
to let it sit on there for 20 minutes to let everything work. After 20 minutes, wet your hands and rub your
mixture for 2 minutes, and wash it off.
2. Use Baking Soda – Most everyone has baking soda and milk in their kitchen. If you use about one
tablespoon of baking soda and milk together to make a paste. Once you have made your paste, apply it to
your skin and scrub it in a circle. You are going to want to use this remedy every two days until the dark
spots start to change colors.

3. 3. Using Lemon and Honey – Another natural
skin care that most people readily have in
their kitchen. Lemons are normally in
people’s kitchen and if they are not lemons
are really inexpensive at any grocery store.
Lemons have a natural bleaching properties
and like I have mentioned before honey is a
great moisturizer for the skin. You are going
to want to juice one lemon and mix it with
about one tablespoon of honey. Once you
have made your mixture you need to apply it
to your skin and leave it there for about 20
minutes. After it has been on your skin for at
least 20 minutes wash it off and you will see
that your skin is lightened up. To start seeing the full effect of the mixture you are going to want to do this
twice a week.
4. Natural Sandpaper – Using a sugar and olive oil is great to use to exfoliate the skin. Sugar is grainy like
sandpaper and olive oil is great for moisturizing the skin. Using regular white sugar is ok but if you want to
use a larger grain of sugar that would be better. You will want to make sure to use equal amounts of sugar
and olive oil to make a great paste. Apply it to the skin and rub it on your trouble spots for about 5 minutes
and then wash it off with soap and water.
5. Sunscreen is Great for Other Uses – If you buy sunscreen after the summer season when it goes on
clearance then this skin care solution is inexpensive. Sunscreen lotions will help keep your skin moist
while you are out in the sun and even after.
