Dark Circles on My Elbows and Knees

RE: Dark Circles on My Elbows and Knees Post By Steph. (Guest Post) (10/01/2008) I wanted to know whether the lemon suggestion worked for anyone. I saw a lot of suggestion with Lemon such as Lemon & Vitamin E, Lemon & Sugar and so on. I just wanted to see if someone has tried any of them and if they worked. I was also wondering about the Brillo pads I have been reading about. Are those safe to use and if they have been used does anything happen after a while that you don't use them?

(Guest Post) (10/01/2008) Hi, I was reading the comments on what to use in-order to get rid of dark spots on elbows and knees but I read a lot of different suggestions. I don't know what to use with the Lemon since I saw some put Lemon & Sugar, Lemon & Honey Lemon & Vitamin E and so on. I was wondering if anything ever worked for anyone and if so how often do you have to do it for. I would appreciate any ones help with this. Thank you.

I am fair and bruise easily for one thing. I used to lean on my elbows (all of the time), and over time it has caused the skin to darkening along the bone.I've tried lots of things lighten the skin but have been embarrassed to wear short sleeves. Using things like brillo and comet have only caused further damage to the skin. Short of going to a dermatologist spending hundreds are there any suggestions on what to do?

Editor's Note: Brillo is a brand name for a steel wool pad with detergent added to it. Another brand is called SOS. These are very abrasive and I would not recommend using them on skin.

I really do need help please. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Dark Circles on My Elbows and Knees Post By SarahCarey (Guest Post) (05/26/2008) Well I've had the same problem. My knees and elbows were discolored and it looked horrible because my skin was a little fair. What I used was lemon juice, sugar and olive oil. This actually works, trust me! I got better results. You would need to leave it on for 10 minutes then scrub with a loofah or warm cloth.

BUT that day wear jeans because the lime will stain your knees because of the sun! Report Spam or Abuse Inbedded dirt in my skin?

Also there is a producto called pretty feet that helps remove the dead skin. I used to have the worse elbows but these things have worked for me!

Many of the "sugar scrubs" as they call them now actually are made with salt. Anything that contains the granules that give some abrasion as you scrub will do the job you certainly don't have to spend a ton of money!!

It does a superb job on the bottom of my feet. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Dark Circles on My Elbows and Knees Post By jomac (Guest Post) (07/13/2006) In the past I've used a nail brush and soap. You have to be careful not to scrub too hard but it's gets all the dirt and grime out of the creases.

I lather up a good handful of my favorite bar soap (in my case that would be Dove) and dump in about 2 tablespoons of regular granulated sugar......and scrub away! Just rinse and you'll feel fresh and "exfoliated"! Just remember to apply a cream or lotion often. When mine (elbows) get too scruffy I resort to petroleum jelly several times a day until they look right again.

It sounds like you have a build up of dead skin cells there and that is what is making the dark discoloration. Give that a good scrub first and then do the cream afterwards and that should take care of it!! Report Spam or Abuse
