Blame it on the beauty industry but at this point, we're sure if you have dark elbows and knees you'd rather prefer wearing full clothes than opting for something that shows them off. While it's good to be comfortable in your skin, sometimes all people need is a gentle nudge. If you feel that this pigmentation on your knees and elbows is getting in the way of you feeling great about how you look, then you absolutely must do everything in your power to lighten that pigmentation. Here are some home remedies that can help you get rid of that pigmentation from your knees and elbows.

You'll need one tablespoon of coconut oil and one tablespoon of walnut powder. Mix these two ingredients until you reach a thick and consistent paste. Use this as a scrub on your elbows and knees and massage gently in circular motions. While walnut powder helps exfoliate dead skin cells, coconut oil can help moisturise your skin.

This miracle ingredient is known for its multiple properties and can also act as a bleaching agent. Mix one part apple cider vinegar with one part water and then soak a cotton ball in the concoction. Apply the cotton ball on your elbows and knees and you'll see a difference in the pigmentation in no time.

Take one tablespoon of milk and one tablespoon of baking soda. Mix these two ingredients well to form a thick consistent paste. Apply this paste to your elbows and knees and massage it gently in a circular motion. It acts as a scrub to help get rid of pigmentation.

Almond oil happens to be super rich in Vitamin E and can help brighten the skin. Just take a few drops of almond oil and rub it on your elbows and knees and let it work its magic on your skin.
