 Topic: Black elbows
Posted: May 02 2014 at 4:29pm |
Hi Anyone got any advice about how to get rid/lighten these? If you get what I mean: my elbows are black (jet black, charcoal) compared to the rest of my arm. It's coming up to summer and with halter dresses I don't want those hideous elbows showing out like they do! Any ideas?

lol, what about your knees? I've heard of lemon juice to lighten them.

Exfoliate, Exfoliate, Exfoliate, buy a loofah and scrub brush, make sure you get those elbows and knees. Alpha Hydroxy based lotions also help remove the dead skin. Buy some razors and occasional shave your knees.

Instead of the loofah sponge, use the Korean Italy exfoliating cloth/towel. That sucker scrubs. I thought the Salux cloth scrubs but it is no match to the Korean Italy cloth.
