Question

How can I get rid of dark knees and elbows within a day or less?

Community Answer

It would be very hard to get rid of dark knees in less then a day. I'd suggest having a warm bath or shower and then applying a soft cream like Nivea or Sudocream.

Question

Can I use pumice instead of a loofah?

Community Answer

A loofah is much more gentle than a pumice stone, but if you scrub extremely lightly this could be an alternative method.

Question

Can the olive oil be extra virgin?

Community Answer

Yes, the extra virgin won't change the results or make your knees darker, the extra virgin just means that it is a higher quality oil.

Question

Can I use lime instead of lemon for the lemon and baking soda technique?

Community Answer

Yes, you can. The deciding ingredient in both fruits is the citric acid; however, if you use lime, be sure to test on a small patch of skin first to ensure that it's not too harsh for your skin.

Question

How long does it take while using lemon and baking soda technique?

Hana AlMahdy

Community Answer

If you are using the baking soda and lemon juice trick, you will probably get results within the five minutes after you put on the liquid. If not, then maybe just try again or be patient because not everyone will finish and find results at the same time.

Question

Can sugar and olive oil remove dark scars?

Community Answer

Sugar and olive oil are good ingredients for a sugar scrub, which can help exfoliate dead skin. This can be a good way to get rid of an uneven tan, but wouldn't lighten the actual pigment in the skin.
