9 BEST WAYS TO NATURALLY WHITEN DARK UNDERARMS, KNEES AND ELBOWS
Due to the accumulation of dirt, dust and sweat, some parts of the body naturally become dark and dry. For example, a problem we often face is that our armpit skin is darker than normal. If you played outside as a kid, your elbows and knees don't get dark and dry. But what if that dark skin causes serious cosmetic problems?
Here are some easy and natural ways to get rid of dark, dry skin that suit your skin tone.
1. Aloe Vera Gel
While great for sunburn, aloe vera gel is also great for dry, dark skin. Apply the gel to the dark area and leave it on for 20 minutes. Wash it off and practice once a day for good results.
2. Baking soda
All you have to do is make a paste of 3 parts baking soda and 1 part water. Stir until smooth and apply to the affected area. You can do this twice a day.
3. Lemon
It's a great exfoliant, just squeeze the juice of a lemon and apply to dark, dry areas. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes and then wash it off.
4. Sugar and Olive Oil
The small granules in the sugar help to effectively remove dry and dead skin. You can make a thick paste of sugar and olive oil. Gently massage the dry area with this paste for 5-10 minutes and wash off.
5. Cucumber
They are very useful for dark armpits. Mix cucumber, lemon juice and turmeric to naturally lighten your armpits.
6. Milk
A mixture of milk and cottage cheese is very good for dark and dry skin.
7. Almond Oil
For a more radiant skin, simply massage the dark areas with almond oil once a day.
8. Potatoes
You can grind some potatoes with water. Apply this mixture to the dry and dark areas of your skin and then wash it off. The enzyme catecholase breaks down the dead skin faster.
These are all natural skin lightening remedies.
You can practice them at home and they will not have any negative effects on your normal skin.
