Our knees and elbows are overworked, aren’t they? The friction leads to the accumulation of dead skin on them and that’s why they appear to be darker than our normal skin tone. Save yourself unnecessary trips to the parlour because we have three super easy hacks up our sleeve which can help you lighten dark knees and elbows at home!
What you need:
- Olive Oil
- Lemon Juice
- Potato
- Curd
- Salt Aloe Vera
- Honey
Hack 1:
Step 1- Mix 1 tbsp of olive oil and 2 tbsp of lemon juice in 1/2 cup of salt. Olive oil will nourish your skin, lemon juice acts as an antioxidant and salt will help exfoliate your skin.
