5. Coconut Oil
Another way on how to treat dark knees and elbows is through coconut oil alone. It contains a lot of essential fatty acids and vitamin E that help restore dark and damaged skin.
Procedure:
- After each bath, apply a little coconut oil to areas of dry or dark skin.
- Gently massage for 2-3 minutes until the oil is absorbed into the skin.
You can also mix half a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice with a teaspoon of coconut oil, then gently massage your knees and elbows for a few minutes. Doing so may help you achieve brighter and smoother knee and elbow skin.
With these simple ways on how to treat dark knees and elbows, you don’t need to spend too much money on cosmetics. However, always be cautious! Perform patch testing first to see if you don’t react well to the ingredients. Also, don’t hesitate to visit a dermatologist for your skincare concerns.
Finally, note that skin irritation, friction, and sun exposure darken the skin. Hence, make it a point to protect the skin from unnecessary friction and sun exposure.
