Answer 1

lemon juice

Answer 2

try whitening lotions by NIVEA or OLAY. or you could also try soaps with papaya extract or glutathione.

or squeeze some lemon juice on them >>haven't tried this, though.. but i read it in a mag somewhere.

and avoid leaning on tables on your elbows, it tends to make them darker. and avoid kneeling a lot, too (unless you're in church and all)

good luck!

Answer 3

skin pigmentations or dark skin spots can be easily lightened by skin lightening products, but choose ones without hydroquinone or mercury.. you don't wanna know what these ingredients can do for your skin.. kojic acid or licorice are the best safer ingredients.. here's where you can find them -

Answer 4

use a lightening cream, or rub with lemon rind(don't use lemon directly it is concentrated and can harsh on your skin)
