How to lighten up your elbows

Sometimes leaning to much on our elbows, especially when we're one bed laying at the computer, can cause our elbows to turn dark. It can be a source of embarrassment for some people especially when we are not using long sleeve tops. Well don't worry anymore. You came to the right place to know all about how YOU can lighten up your elbows and make them just like before. 

Here are step to step how YOU can lighten up your elbows back

Step 1

Exfoliate your elbows twice a week. Use a loofah and an exfoliating scrub like a sugar scrub or a beaded scrub to really get your elbows clean. The skin on your elbows is rougher and thicker than on the rest of your body. If you do not exfoliate it regularly, it will appear darker even when it is completely clean. Additionally, the cracks in your elbows will hold onto dirt even when you wash if you do not use a granular scrub at least once a week.

Step 2

Try lightening the skin with a lime juice treatment. Rub a cut lime onto your elbows, then add some coconut oil to the mix. Leave the treatment on for about 30 minutes before washing it off with warm water. You can do this nightly until your elbows are as light as you like, but take a day or two off if you notice your skin getting cracked, dry or red.

Step 3

Like I said before, if you lean on your elbows while you work, then you probably are creating darker spots because of the pressure you are putting on them. Try to avoid leaning on your elbows, and moisturize them daily to help protect them from any pressure that you cannot avoid.

Step 4

Sunscreen your elbows when you are going to be outside. Your elbow skin will pick up a tan more quickly than other parts of your body. Sunscreen will limit this effect and also protect you from harmful UV rays.
