hi does anyone know how to get rid of dark elbows and knees?
i have tried lemon with sugar for about a month but it seems to get darker!... i dont go out in the sun...but still.
i always moisturise these areas but still.
my skin tone is olive and my elbows are completely black so it is very noticeable and people ask me whats wrong and suggest different things that i have already done but failed to show results....please help if someone got rid of the same problem.

working construction, this was a problem for me as well. combination of the suns abuse and harsh use.
there's this stuff you can buy called;
(now don't laugh) Pretty Feet and Hands, it comes in a dark blue bottle and does immediate wonders! is literally rubs the dark away instantly leaving your skin soft and smooth -not raw.
you can get it most anywhere like, walmart, sprouse reiz, thriftys, walgreens, health care center, etc. it's dirt cheap too! under $5 bucks. my bottle lasted me for several years.

yes, im new -please be kind.

Also, look for products that contain alpha hydroxy acids.
lactic will work, but the molecules are bigger, so it's not as effective as AHA.
Anything to 'desquamate' or remove a buildup of keratinized skin.

I hoped that worked for ya. I'm half Philipino so mine are a little darker too..but I just ignore it mostly. Kind of off the subject here but this post made me remember looking for this product myself one time in Walmart. It was very freaky what happened and this is probably the only venue where I would mention this. I just could not find it. I was on an isle, alone and a small bottle of the stuff fell off the shelve onto the floor. I went and picked it up and looked on the shelf and there were no others there of the same kind. The isle was still, no other people around. What do you folks make of that ?
