The skin is very unpredictable. There are times when you'll never know how it will act. But what you have to be wary of is the darkening of skin tone.
The parts of the skin usually affected by skin darkening are the elbows and the knees. Because they are found on the junctures of the body, they can turn dark and damaged nearly all the time.
If you have this condition and you are desperately looking for inexpensive and easy to use treatments, the following should work well for you:
1. Papaya extract
The extract of papaya contains a myriad of anti aging properties. It is also rich in whitening enzymes that can help lighten up dark elbows and knees. It is also has exfoliating properties that slough off dead skin cells and get rid of the uppermost layers of the dermis that are usually darker and dryer.
To get the extract of papaya, buy one medium-sized papaya, peel it and deseed it. Make sure it is ripe. It should be soft inside so you can easily blend it. Wash it well to get rid of the residues of the seeds.
Cut the papaya into chunks and blend it well. Use a cheese cloth to squeeze out the extract of the papaya. Now use that extract on your knees or elbows.
2. Almond oil
Almond oil also works as an anti aging agent. It can keep the skin properly hydrated. It is also a good source of whitening agents that can inhibit melanin production. Apply almond oil on your elbows and knees. Rub it gently.
Make sure that the oil will penetrate deeper into the skin. Allow it to sit there for an hour before washing it off.
3. Lime juice
The juice of lime has similar whitening benefits to that of lemon. It contains citric acid that can slowly get rid of the damaged layers of the skin to reveal younger and healthier dermis on the surface.
Squeeze up to one cup of lime juice. Place it in a bottle. Apply some of the juice on your elbows and knees.
Now that you know which inexpensive remedies work in keeping your knees and elbows fair and smooth, you should also find out which whitening moisturizer will maintain the smoothness and the fairness of your dermis.
I suggest looking for a whitening moisturizer with Extrapone Nutgrass, Phytessence Wakame and Manuka Honey. Extrapone Nutgrass is a plant with whitening benefits that can lighten up dark areas of the skin by up to 45% during the first two weeks of use.
Phytessence Wakame is a type of sea kelp with the ability to preserve a healthy level of hyaluronic acid. This is the acid that can supply more moisture to collagen fibers.
Manuka honey also contains bleaching properties. It can also help lighten the complexion of the skin. It also has hydrating benefits that can prevent damages.
