Lightening Dark Skin on Knees?

It is difficult to answer because you did not explain the cause of your brown knees. Are you a dark-skinned person with darker pigmentation on your knee area? Are you aged, and the skin is discolored due to aging and liver spots and roughness? Or...is it just dirt that is hard to reach for you? Each cause would require a different approach. For pigmentation issues, lemon juice comes to mind as a brightener, although I have not done any research on this; and perhaps some hydrogen peroxide solution? (not too strong, now, or you will damage your skin!). Try a soak in the tub, if possible, for a thorough cleansing of dirt, using a loofah sponge.
