Naturally Treat Dark Elbows

What causes dark elbows?

 Improper hygiene and lack of personal care.
 Due to the skin overlap, elbows attract more dirt and grime.
 Constantly subjected to friction, especially with clothes you wear, leads to darkening of the area and dry patches.
 Elbows have fewer oil glands than other parts of the body, resulting in dryness. Dryness makes it easier for the skin to get darker.
 Dark spots on elbows can be one among the many signs of aging.

The skin on the elbow can become dark and rough because of age, friction and neglect. Coarse, dirty-looking patches are often caused by a build-up of dead skin cells. When treating your dark elbow with a home remedy, be patient. Remember that the problem was created over time and will not be solved overnight


Things You'll Need
Oatmeal
Almonds
Food processor
Milk
Lemon
Washcloth
Yogurt
Apple cider vinegar
Nut oil

Instructions
1
Exfoliate your elbows regularly with a mixture of almonds and oatmeal. Place equal parts rolled oats and raw, unsalted almonds into a food processor and grind them into a medium-coarse mixture. Measure approximately one tablespoon of the exfoliant into your palm and add enough milk to make a paste. Rub the mixture into your elbow with a gentle circular motion and rinse thoroughly with cool water.

2
Slice a lemon in half and rub the elbow with the sliced fruit. Allow the juice to remain on your elbow 10 to 15 minutes. Soak a washcloth in hot water, wring well and scrub the elbow with the hot cloth.

3
Mix one cup of plain yogurt with approximately one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Rub it into the elbow like a lotion and allow it to soak in for at least 15 minutes then scrub the elbow with a hot, moist cloth. Keep the mixture refrigerated in an airtight container for future use.



Tomato for clear skin

Tomatoes are a staple in every kitchen but hardly will you hear anyone extolling its cosmetic benefits. Whether you want to cure large pores or reduce acne and rashes or sooth a nasty sunburn or simply to revive the glow on dull skin, tomatoes are beneficial in many homemade beauty treatments.
Big pores? Shrink Them
Big pores provide easy access to dirt and grime thus increasing the chances of infecting the pore. Take a tablespoon of fresh tomato juice. Add two to four drops of fresh lime juice to this. Use a cotton ball to apply this mixture on your face. Massage it in circular motions. Leave it on for about 15 minutes and then wash off with cool water. Regular application will shrink pores greatly.

Acne healing
The acidity in tomatoes helps in reducing and clearing up your acne. Vitamin A and vitamin C are commonly found in a lot of acne medicines and tomatoes are rich in vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin K. If you have mild acne, cut a tomato in half and apply the inside on your face. For severe acne mash a fresh tomato and use the pulp as a pack on the face. Leave it on for an hour. Rinse it off and moisturise. Do this on a regular basis or as many times as you can. Your acne is bound to dry off soon.

Astringent
If you have oily skin and struggle to keep your face from shining like a fried papad, tomato is the solution to your agony. Crush a fresh tomato and strain it. Make a little cucumber juice and add it to the tomato juice. Apply this juice with a cotton ball daily to control excessive oiliness and acne.

Good to eat, great to clean
A tomato and avocado mask works wonders on combination skin. This is because tomato works as an astringent as well as a blackhead and oil-reducing agent while avocados have an antiseptic and moisturising effect. A pack of mashed tomatoes and avocados help in soothing and cleansing combination skin (oily and dry), as they are rich in vitamin A, C and E. Apply this pack and wash off after 20 to 30 minutes with lukewarm water.

Burns no more
Summer is fast approaching and with harsh summer comes burnt, inflamed skin. A lot of people's skin gets sunburnt, raw and itchy due to exposure to the sun. Crush half a tomato and mix it with two tablespoons of plain yogurt. Apply this concoction on face, neck, hands and feet. Wash it off after 20 minutes. Tomato cools the skin and neutralises the surface while yogurt gives it a much needed protein boost while leaving it soft and supple.
