To lighten dark elbows, as well as dark neck or knees, it is necessary to start with an exfoliation to remove the thickest and stained skin layers, to do so mix 1 teaspoon of olive oil with 1 teaspoon of sugar and rub on the elbows for about 30 seconds.
Then wash the area with warm water and apply the following mixture:
- This mixture of milk and baking soda contains lactic acid and other properties that help reduce and lighten skin pigmentation.
- So it is important to remove it with warm water only after drying.
- To ensure the best effect.
After removing the mixture, it is recommended to apply a moisturizer, such as Nivea Body Lotion or Avon Care Moisturizer, to keep the skin well nourished and soft.
Lemon is another homemade solution that can be used to replace the milk mixture with baking soda after exfoliation, as it is rich in citric acid and natural antioxidants that lighten the skin.
