Easy DIY Method To Get Rid Of Dark Elbows And Knees

Many people experience skin darkening, particularly on areas like the neck, elbows and knees, often due to hyperpigmentation.

There’s an easy DIY method to address this issue using simple ingredients commonly found at home.

Ingredients:

3 to 4 drops of coconut oil 2 teaspoons of baking soda 2 teaspoons of toothpaste 2 teaspoons of salt 2 teaspoons of milk Half a tomato

Place 2 teaspoons of baking soda in a bowl. If you don’t have baking soda, Eno can be used as an alternative. Add 2 teaspoons of Colgate toothpaste or powder to the bowl. Incorporate 1 teaspoon of salt and 2 to 3 teaspoons of milk. Stir the mixture until it’s well blended. Finally, add 3 to 4 drops of coconut oil to the paste and mix thoroughly.

Once your paste is ready, apply it evenly on the dark spots using your fingers. Allow the paste to dry for about 15 minutes.

After the paste has dried, cut a tomato in half. Rub the cut side of the tomato over the treated areas. This step helps to enhance the paste’s effectiveness.

Wash the area with clean water to remove the paste. Follow up by applying a light massage with any oil to the skin.

To see noticeable improvements, use this treatment 4 to 5 times a week. It can be applied to the neck, elbows, knees, heels and even underarms.
