Dark elbows and knees? Make a homemade scrub with kitchen ingredients

Both men and women put in a lot of effort to care for facial skin, following routines such as washing the face twice a day, applying serum and using face masks. But elbows and knees are usually neglected in the process, so even when the face looks bright and glowing, the elbows and knees remain darkened.

Many people turn to various creams available in the market to get rid of this darkness. But the chemicals in these creams can actually worsen skin problems instead of reducing them. So instead of spending money on expensive creams, making a natural scrub from ingredients easily available in the kitchen can help remove dead skin.

The first remedy is a coffee scrub. Mix coffee powder and coconut oil together in a bowl. Apply this mixture on the elbows and knees, leave it for a while, then massage gently. This massage helps remove accumulated dead skin. After massaging, let the scrub stay on the skin for about 10 minutes, then wash it off with lukewarm water. The coffee scrub removes dead cells built up on the skin and makes it glow from within.

The second remedy is a sugar scrub. Sugar is useful for cleaning darkened knees and elbows. Mix sugar, lemon juice and honey together in a bowl. Once the mixture is ready, massage it in gently and let it sit for a while. The natural properties of sugar and lemon help make darkened skin clean and bright from within.

The third option is an oatmeal scrub. Scrubbing is always recommended to remove dead skin buildup. Mix oatmeal and curd together in a bowl and apply this mixture over the entire knees and elbows, massaging gently. This massage improves damaged skin quality and helps reduce darkness on the body. However, skin is more likely to become dry after scrubbing, so it is necessary to apply moisturiser afterward.
