Darker, rougher knees and elbows are one of the most common body concerns, and one of the easiest to improve with consistent care.
Why knees and elbows get darker
- Friction and pressure from leaning, kneeling and crossing your legs
- Thicker skin that builds up dead cells quickly
- Dryness. These areas have fewer oil glands.
- Sun exposure on exposed knees and arms
The routine
- Cleanse with a turmeric kojic acid bar like the Glow Bar.
- Exfoliate with a Glow Pad daily. These areas usually tolerate it well.
- Treat with the Glow Serum.
- Moisturize with a rich cream. Thicker skin needs more moisture.
- Mask 2–3 nights a week with the Overnight Glow Mask.
Lifestyle tweaks
- Use a cushion when kneeling.
- Don't lean on your elbows on hard desks for long periods.
- Apply SPF to knees when wearing shorts or skirts.
Expect smoother texture within 1–2 weeks and a more even-looking tone over 4–8 weeks.
