any “cure” for them? i moisturize and exfoliate, put tons of lotion on there, but somehow they’re still dark 
same with knees.. i don’t rest my elbows on the desk or anything… 
Re: ashy elbows...
all brown ppl hav dark elbows/knees/armpits. thse parts are normally a tone darker than the rest of the skin. thre bleaching. or wax over the elbows to clean out the dead skin. makes a slight difference=]
Re: ashy elbows...
sara you are married - tell me do husbands care about such stuff? my guy told me once that my elbows could be as soft as my hands and arms - so i guess guys to care - like he even tells me that he likes my feet, and if he checks such things out then i guess he would like my knees to be perfect as well and they are not - mine arent that dark but still one can notice the difference; men! i dont know when they'd stop expecting us to be all perfect while they themselves aren't Humph!
Re: ashy elbows...

Thats what i said - i dont know why so many guys notice hands and feet ;S
anyway, i can't get glycerin in Canada its not allowed i guess i asked every store be it desi or walmart.
you know my hands used to be darker then my legs like actually my legs are milk white and my hands were chocolaty hehe (yes the difference) but then when i started washing them again and again they got lighter in color - you can also use body lotion (the one with vitamin E) like two times a day one when you take bath and then before going to bed.

Its not he doesnt like it but again i dont even want him to tell me that this could be better and all...he does love me i know that :D since he was the one to take the step further on his on towards commitment and talking to my parents... and like i dont like my feet ever since they have become a bit dull in complexion but he like them so yea...i dont know what to say :) but elbows still matter since they are visible and look bad when dark..
Re: ashy elbows…
I didnt drag your husband in between hun 
i was just asking you if they do care or is it just before marriage that they want girls with beautiful delicate hands and feet…just for my knowledge…
Re: ashy elbows…
glycerine is not allowed in canada?y?is it explosive 
Re: ashy elbows...
yes teelobhain guys do notice feet n hands at least mine does but doesn't effect ur relation :)
Re: ashy elbows...
rub ur elbows in lemon... cut t off in the middle and then rub ur elbows in the half lemon.. :)
I used to do that but then my elbows started itching and got halk cuts on them.. ;S my fault or the lemons i dont know.
Re: ashy elbows…
It doesn’t matter nor effect a relationship but it does make the girl ok me a bit conscious ..
anyway, well glycerin is not an explosive but you dont know what the white people might think … my father said that they say its a medicine which is not allowed to be imported from pakistan/ india since thats where all the desi stores get their stuff from but walmart maybe gives it with prescription not sure though…
