Are you tired of dealing with hyperpigmentation on your toes, knees, or shoulders? Hyperpigmentation does not just affect the face, but if often affects the skin around your joints, such as the elbows and knees. Over time, the skin around the joints can darken.

③ Next step is to apply the mixture of baking soda and milk.
④ Mix 1 tbsp baking soda and 1 tbsp of raw milk. Apply this to your elbows and knees.

⑥ The last thing to do is to apply your favorite moisturizer or body lotion in an upward direction.
⑦ Do these 3 steps routine onto your dark elbows and knees every day to see a significant difference in few weeks time.
