    Hi..

    My daughters skin in the knee and elbow is very dark and rough. Other areas she is fair. I applied olive oil but didn't get any improvement.

    as she is very small 7yrs old I don't want to try any creams. Can any one suggest home remedies??

    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Try rubbing lemon peel in circular movements on elbows and knees. Sure you can see the difference.

    generally kids do have dark knee & elbow.. as they play more on outdoors.. skin will change its texture as she will grow older...

    As Hemasanda suggested you can apply lemon juice.... and continue applying olive oil... on long run u will see the difference....

    Thanks dolly and hemasanda..

    Even I thought the same. But the skil in rough also. That's why I was a little worried.

    I will try the lemon juice and tell u the result after a month.

    I am sure everyone of you would feel that all the questions are positive and may get panicked. So, I would like to suggest that you talk to your mom about all these issues and then come up to a conclusion. Always remember many of our problems including skin and hair conditions are due to weight issues which seems always out of control. So, take time and start with losing weight. I am sure that many of your would notice an immediate change.

    hi,

    to remove darkness from knees and elbows, massage with moisturiser for ten minutes before shower. While shower gently rub with soft cloth. Darkness will go in few days. Do this regularly.

    Yes applying moisturizer will help reduce darkness,but i guess you have to leave it on the skin after shower so that the skin will be smooth. I have seen reduced darkness in my mom's skin after applying moisturizer.

    Maybe you should try to gently massage the areas with coffee grounds along with the lemon juice or olive oil.
    The coffee grounds will surly make the skin soft!
