Could you please suggest me some home remedies for dark elbows?

Answer 1

Dark skin home remedy

Excessively dark skin at the elbows or knees is usually because of friction and dryness. There are several home remedies that you can try, but at the same time you should try to minimise friction at your elbows and also try to keep them moist and clean. Vitamin E and aloe are beneficial for most skin problems, so you should try applying them. Vitamin E is available as an oil at most medical stores, as is aloe gel. If you have access to an aloe plant, you can rub a freshly broken leaf against your elbow skin.

Other remedies that are often recommended and work for some people include:

· Lemons. You can simply cut a lemon and rub it against your skin, or else mix lemon juice with milk cream, with cucumber juice and/or turmeric, with coconut oil, or with vinegar.

· Fresh Mint + Lemon = Dark Elbow and Knee Skin Tea: http://www.pantryspa.com/free-recipe/sexy-skin/dark-elbow--knee-skin-tea/13/index.HTML

· A mixture of vinegar and yoghurt. Apply the paste to your elbow and leave it for 15-20 minutes.

· A mixture of milk and gramflour with a bit of turmeric powder. Apply the paste to your elbow and leave it for half an hour.

· Onion or garlic. Simply cut an onion or a clove of garlic and rub against your elbow for a few minutes.
