try buying a body scrub with sand in it and rub that, for a few minutes, on the elbows and knees. Putting lotion on in the morning and before going to bed helps also !

I think dark skin is stunning! I'm not just saying that. I am very pale, and don't intend on going to an unhealthy tanning booth anytime soon. That said, I love darker skin. I think we are born with what we are born with. I had commented on a youtube video of Tyra and a model who was saying how she never felt pretty because she was dark. I pointed out in my comment that being white, although idealized by society over time, is not something to be valued anymore. Or, at least, it shouldn't be valued anymore. Skin color can't define a person. I pointed out how it sucks that we get moles, sun burns (bright red tomato skin( that peels), and turn pink from exercise. I think there are beautiful women in every ethnic group, and as i had said in response to Tyra's video, "the victorian era is over, so why are we still obsessed with pale skin." My point is that you are perfect just the way you are. It's like the blonde vs. brunette debate. There are blondes with prettier faces/ brunettes/ red heads/ black hair...etc. Finally, just a additional comment...my sister's best friend has stunning brown skin, and looks like a model. I think it's a shame that there are so many people who judge based on skin color when it's such a trivial topic.

Your elbows and knees get very dry, and when they get dry it makes them look like they are darker, you should exfoliate your knees and elbows and put alot of lotion on them. My son has the same thing on his knees. Or it just could be the pigment of your skin. Your elbows and knees have thinner skin so therefore the pigment in your skin appears darker in those areas, and that is why the palms of your hands and soles of your feet are so light, because the skin is the most light in those areas.

you can buy creams made especially for lightening the skin, but don't buy the ones for face because they won't be strong enough for the tough skin on your elbows and knees, buy something from the body. avon has a good skin lightening line, check it out! ^__^

I also heard that lemon juice works to lighten your skin tone. Or you can try skin bleach.

It is from rug burn, it will eventually go away. And if not, get a special kind of cream used for discoloration.
