Due to the accumulation of dirt, dust and sweat, certain parts of the body naturally become dark or dry. For example, the perennial problem is that our armpit skin is darker than our normal skin. If you were an outfielder as a kid, you’re no stranger to dark, dry elbows or knees. But what do you do when such dark skin causes serious cosmetic problems?
Below are some of the easy and natural ways available to get rid of dark and dry skin on your body parts to match your true skin tone.
1. Cactus gel
Although it helps a lot with sunburn, aloe vera gel is also useful in treating dry and dark skin. Apply a little gel directly on the dark areas and leave it for 20 minutes. Wash and practice it once a day for good results.
- Baking soda
