Uneven skin tone is a large concern for ethnic women. Areas of concern for most women are dark, rough elbows, knees, and underarms. I've been seeing lemon widely used to treat these ares.
Underarms:
-Stop Shaving or using hair removal creams,wax the area instead. Waxing is a less irritating to the skin because the hair grows back finer.
-Exfoliate on a daily basis.
-Avoid using deodorant with harsh chemicals which cause darkening opt for a natural deodorant instead(like dessert essence.)
-Apply lemon to the area for 20-30 minutes daily.
Elbows and Knees:
-Start buy gently cleansing or exfoliating the area with a sugar based or light exfoliant.
-Apply lemon
-Moisturise using a lotion containing vitamin c
