Ballerina with dark knees and elbows

my daughter is a ballerina and when she performs I notice that her knees and elbows stand out. They are very dark in comparison to her other body areas. What can I use to lighten them up. She is ten.

Answer:

Hi Margaret, I can understand your concern as a mom. But skin whitening products are not advised to be used on young skin below 12 years old, simply because the process involves skin peeling and young skin cannot handle it.

You can opt for homemade remedies, like lemon, and mix with bath oil to neutralize too much acid and dryness, and massage gently once a day.

Hope that can help. :)
