dark elbows?

Question

I have dark elbows.. how do i get it to my natural skin color..i like wearing short sleeves but now i don't because my elbows are too dark in color..pls help

Answer 1

I notice and I hate when it happens to me this works trust me
rub half a lemon on your elbows once morning once at night always exfolliate ( get the dead skin off) and use lotion

Answer 2

Wash your elbows every day with an abrasive cleaner like a scrub for your face. Scrub them hard with the cleaner. Then put lemon juice on your elbows at least once a day preferably just before going to bed. You can just cut a lemon in half and rub the half on your elbows and put it in a zip-loc bag in the fridge until it dries up. It will last a long time. You can even used an already squeezed lemon and just stick your elbow into the half of the lemon and rub. Might sound silly, but it works. Takes a couple of weeks so be patient.

Answer 3

Me, too. I used to really obsess over it, but nothing I ever tried worked. Just keep them soft w/ a good lotion. I have found that most other people never even notice it.
