How To Get Rid Of Dark Skin - Lips, Underarms, Knees And Elbow At Home Effectively And Naturally

The cause of dark knees, underarms, elbows and other parts might come from the accumulation of dead skin cells, friction, extensive exposure to sun, or a hormonal imbalance.

A good skin care routine can help lighten dark skin areas, and there is no remedy better than natural ways. Here are some tips to help you lighten your knees, elbows, underarms and wear your favourite clothes with confidence.

1. Papaya and honey

Papaya contains an enzyme called "papain" that can dissolve the dead skin cellsHoney acts as a natural moisturiser. In combination with papaya, it can work wonders on your skin. Make a paste and apply to your dark skin area. Leave it for 20 minutes and then wash your skin with plain water.

2. Rose water and gram flour

Rose water is rich in vitamin C, balances pH levels, and because it's a natural anti-inflammatory, it can work to lighten your dark spots. Mix a small amount of rose water, a teaspoon of gram flour, and add a tablespoon of lemon juice together. Apply the mask all over your face and neck and wait until it dries. Rinse with cool water. You can repeat this procedure daily before you take a bath.

3. Potato juice

Potatoes are full of antioxidants and help to even out the skin tone. Grate a potato, squeeze out the juice and apply on the affected area and leave for 30 minutes. Do this every day for a month, and you will notice a considerable difference.

4. Baking soda

Baking soda acts as a gentle and effective cleanser for whitening dark areas of skin. Mix baking soda with lemon juice, and water to form a paste and use it to scrub the dark skin. Let it stay for at least 15 minutes. Now rinse it off with plain water. Make sure you do not go harsh while scrubbing your skin.
