Women's hands should always be well-groomed and beautiful. And this applies not only to the hands, but also to the hands as a whole. I propose to talk about why women sometimes have dark skin on their elbows. Could this indicate any disease? Yes, such a change may be a consequence of a malfunction of the adrenal glands or the thyroid gland or may indicate a lack of vitamins A and E. Therefore, be sure to consult a doctor and pass all the necessary tests. If they showed that you are fine with the body, it means that dark dry skin on the elbows appeared for another reason. More precisely, because of bad habits, for example, you constantly rely on the table. It may also be due to constant exposure to the sun or a reaction to clothing.
What can we do to ensure that the skin on the elbows becomes bright and soft again? Dryness will help get rid of nutrition and hydration. Prepare a light scrub, which includes: sour cream - 2 tbsp. l and 1 tbsp. l salt.
For many, the problem - dark skin on the elbows - is solved by purchasing another product in the store, which, unfortunately, does not give the necessary effect. Often, folk remedies help to cope with such a problem much more effectively. Lemon will help you in whitening best. You need to take a large lemon, cut it in half and cut a little around the edges so that it can stand on the table. Next, insert your elbows into the lemon and sit for about 15 minutes. After time, without washing off the juice, immediately apply a cream of high fat content. You can use this lemon several more times. We offer another recipe for dark skin on the elbows to become white and soft. We need to mix
lemon juice and almond oil one by one. Take a napkin and apply this mixture on it, and then attach it to the elbow. It’s best to leave this compress overnight.
To make the skin on the elbows soft, you can make special baths. For example, we offer such a recipe. Take 2 tsp. starch and mix it with one glass of warm water. Divide the liquid into two bowls and lower your elbows there for 15 minutes.
Do not forget about peeling, which will help get rid of old skin, which also darkened. Use pumice or special scrubs. For example, mix lemon juice and soda, the consistency should be like a paste. It must be applied to the elbows, massage and leave for about 20 minutes.
Most often, our elbows, like other skin, suffer in the winter. I propose to consider a list of specific procedures that make dark skin on the elbows soft again:
- soap should be replaced with foaming skin care products;
- use a brush with medium hard bristles;
- twice a week, use a cream that contains fruit acids, or use scrubs, which we described above;
- every day use body creams, which must certainly contain oils in their composition;
- if the elbows itch, lubricate them with fish oil;
- make compresses from olive oil or lotions from lemon juice from time to time.
After 10 days you will see a significant improvement, but do not stop. Try to take care of your elbows year-round. I think we helped you sort out the question of why dark skin is on the elbows and how to restore its whiteness to it.
