2. Aloe Vera Gel: Apply an aloe vera gel to the affected joints that require proper nourishment and care. You can apply a fresh aloe vera paste too. If applying the paste, rinse it off after 30-35 minutes with cold water.
3. Turmeric, Milk, and Honey: Take 1 teaspoon of turmeric, honey, and 2 tablespoons of milk. Make a fine paste of the same and apply it to the affected area. Allow the mask or paste to settle for at least 30 minutes. Rinse off with cold water and pat dry.
4. Yogurt and Vinegar: Take 1 tablespoon of yogurt and 1 teaspoon of vinegar. Mix these two ingredients well and form a fine paste. Use this natural scrub on the elbow and knees region. Let the scrub work for 30 minutes. Wash off with cold water and pat dry.

6. Sugar, Lemon, and Honey scrub: Mix 1 tablespoon of crushed sugar, 1 teaspoon of lemon, and 1 teaspoon of natural honey together. Apply the paste on the elbows and knees. These ingredients also work as natural bleaching agents and help reduce the darkness over these regions.
