There
are effective ways to get rid of your dark knees. You can easily get
rid of these dark knees using various home remedies, such as scrubs and
skin bleaching.
Let’s try some of the effective tips below:
1. Lemon
Wash your knees, using half of lemon fruit and the other half on your
other knee. Rub into your knees for at least 10 minutes, while allowing
the juice to dry. Rinse off with cold water after. You can do this at
least twice a day or as often as necessary. Always apply moisturizer
after.
2. Olive Oil
Warm a bit of olive oil and apply it on your knees. You should rub
the oil well into your skin. You should do this treatment at night,
before going to bed, and should be done thrice a week only.
You can also choose to use coconut oil, instead of olive oil. But if you’re using coconut oil, it needs to be massaged daily.
3. Almond Scrub
To make the almond scrub, mix 1 tbsp powdered almonds, 1 tsp. almond
shells and fresh cream. Then apply the almond scrub on your knees, and
massage for 7-10 minutes. Leave on for at least 5 minutes and rinse off
using lukewarm water. Dry your knees after, then apply moisturizer.
4. Baking Soda
Baking soda is considered to be a good natural scrub and can be used
on your knees regularly to get rid of flaky, dead and dark skin.
You can make a paste from the baking soda using water. Then you can
apply the paste on your dark knees and leave on for about 5 minutes or
so. After 5 minutes, wet your hands and start scrubbing your knees, on
which you have applied the paste. Scrub your knees for 7-10 minutes.
Rinse with water after and then towel dry. Apply moisturizing cream on
your knees after.
Do the above procedure daily for at least 2 weeks. Doing this will
lighten your knees considerably. You can then do the treatment every
other day.
5. Oatmeal Scrub
To make the scrub, mix 2 tbsp. powdered oatmeal and 2 tsp fresh
cream. You can use cold cream or honey to replace fresh cream. Apply the
paste on your knees and leave on for about 2 minutes. Then massage the
paste on your knees, by using only your fingers for massaging. Do this
for 10 minutes, then rinse off using cold water after.
Apply moisturizing cream after, to lock in the moisture on your skin.
Doing this will effectively remove the layers of dead skin cells on
your knees.
