Many people think that beauty care is the care of the face. Therefore, many people have the habit of neglecting their hands and knees. As a result, these parts gradually darken.
To be honest, I have to admit that I often neglect my elbows and knees when following daily skincare routines. At the same time it is always difficult to hide them. The rough dark color of the hands and knees looks really ugly in appearance. But don't worry about it anymore! No need to visit beauty stores and buy expensive products for this. All you have to do is use the ingredients you get from your kitchen.
Let us first look at the root causes of dark circles on the knees. Why this happens:
1. Exfoliation or lack of action to remove dead skin. This causes dead skin cells to accumulate over a period of time.
2. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can lead to hyper-pigmentation and darker skin in that area.
3. Hormonal changes in the body.
4. Discoloration of the skin due to aging.
5. Melasma due to ultraviolet radiation.
6. Tension caused by skin contact with certain fabrics or any external objects.
7. Skin problems like psoriasis or eczema
8. Damage to the skin after injury to the knee and elbow.
Natural remedies to remove dark color
Here are 4 effective natural remedies to color your elbows and knees. These ingredients help to reduce the dark color of the knees and effectively cleanse the skin.
Lemon
It is a proven fact that lemon is a permanent skincare ingredient with natural bleaching properties and acidity properties. This will brighten the skin color and repeated use will eliminate the dark color of your knees and elbows.
Squeeze some pure lemon juice and apply it on the affected area and gently massage. Leave it for 10 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water. Doing this regularly will help to get rid of dark skin and glow within two weeks.
Yogurt and seaweed
Yogurt is one of the best natural moisturizers, but many are unaware of this fact. Mixing one teaspoon of vinegar and one teaspoon of peanut flour and applying it on the skin has been shown to be very effective in fading dark spots on the skin. Apply this mixture on your knees and elbows and wait for 15 minutes. Then rinse with lukewarm water. Your skin will feel soft and radiant.
Aloe vera
The dark part of the skin can become dry and dull, especially in winter. All that is needed is the natural benefits of aloe vera. Peel a squash, grate it and squeeze the juice. Squeeze this pulp lightly with your hand and apply on dry hands and knees. If you allow this pulp to remain on the skin for 20 minutes, you will get moisturized and glowing skin. Rinse with cold water to remove the pulp.
Coconut oil and hot bath
Another great remedy for dry skin is nutritious coconut oil. Massage well into your elbows and knees with coconut oil. Try massaging until the coconut oil has completely penetrated the skin and is dry. After this, take a bath in good hot water. Remember - Avoid using soap at this time.
