The dark appearance of knees and elbows can be lightened by using a loofah pad or brush while in the shower or while taking a bath to exfoliate away dead skin cells.  Scrub the knees and elbows lightly in a circular motion for about a minute.  Using over-the-counter fading creams will also help with lightening the appearance of the areas affected.

Using natural lightening agents such as lemon juice can help as well. Using freshly squeezed lemon juice as an astringent, apply the juice to the elbows and knees using a cotton ball.

Hyperpigmentation is something that can’t be avoided on certain areas of the body, but by understanding the cause of the darkening and how to treat it, its appearance will even out.
