Having dark knees and knuckles can be a huge source of insecurity, especially if other areas of the skin are significantly lighter

Having dark knuckles or knees can be a really difficult thing to deal with for black women. There are a variety of reasons for getting these. It could be that you have them naturally or they could have been induced either by bleaching, excessive tanning, exposure to extreme/hazardous washing agents etc. Here are some tips that can help you get rid of dark knuckles/knees.
