How To Prevent Dark Knees and Elbows:
Moisturizing is key to preventing dark elbows and knees.
If you have olive oil in your kitchen, you can use it to massage on these areas before bedtime. Or simply use your favorite lotion twice a day to keep elbows and knees hydrated.
If you have particularly dry skin, Eucerin Lotion is best.
When you exfoliate or scrub your body, pay special attention to the knees and elbows. But don’t overdo it. Too much friction can cause skin darkening.
