my dears i know you've heard it all when it comes to dark knuckles knees elbows feet butt you hear
people say things like oh it's normal normalize it or you're bleaching if you're not bleaching
then why do you have dark knuckles where is the evidence or it's genetic don't worry about
it well if you're watching this video i know that you're still concerned and my goal with
this video is to leave you with a plan a solid plan okay in today's video we'll be looking at
how to get rid of dark knuckles knees elbows and even dark feet right we'll be touching on five
different sections number one root causes number two contributing factors that to avoid number
three treatment levels number four a typical daily routine and number five precautions let's get into
the video number one root causes there are three major root causes the first
one is genetics second one harsh skincare products number three underlying health issue okay as far
as genetics goes some people do struggle with it and some people just don't no matter what they do
i know someone no matter like it doesn't matter if she uses harsh bleaching creams her skin is
always even and that's just genetic right second one is harsh skincare products bleaching creams
harsh bleaching creams or just bleaching grains in general
will do it to you especially when it comes to dark knuckles number three an underlying health issue
this is not so common but if you suspect that you're having or your head augmentation is due to
an underlying health issue please consult a doctor the next point contributing factors
dryness and not enough sun protection for dryness that can be addressed with just moisturizer
stay moisturized guys and make sure you wear sunscreen or protective clothing
or just avoid the sun if you can right because it worsens situation next treatment levels i'm gonna
be going over three treatment levels okay just pick one pick one that you feel you can stick to
all right and wrong with it the first one is beginner second one intermediate
last one advanced beginner all you need to worry about is stay moisturized and using a sunscreen
right and then at night time using tretinoin for intermediate you're going to go a bit farther
you're going to do everything you're doing in the beginner level but then you're going
to add a spot lightener i'm going to go over the routine for this right last one is advanced again
do what you're doing for the beginner do everything you're doing for an intermediate
but then you're gonna add a chemical peel chemical peel as well as occlusion occlusion is
just the act of wearing gloves to trap moisture at nighttime okay a tca peel sorry for chemical peels
my preference especially for the knuckles is a tce peel but if you're someone who's not experienced
see if you can find someone to do it for you or just start really really low start with the
lower concentration and then work your way up as you get more experienced or just go
see a professional to help you do but i know most of you you're kind of like diy like me
now let's look at a typical daily routine what does the typical daily routine look like
in the morning you cleanse you apply your spot lightener apply your moisturizer or in some cases
some people's sunscreens act as moisturizer so you don't need a moisturizer so you can just cleanse
spot lightener sunscreen right pm your cleanse tretinoin first then your spot lightener and then
depending on whether you're i don't know sometimes you just don't even need moisturizer because
um the thread you known and the spotlighter can keep your skin moisturized but if you
feel like you need moisturizer then just dab a moisturizer over the area okay
that's the typical daily routine number five we're going to look at precautions
right these are really important because they can kind of make or mar your routine or your
treatment um or your current treatment so number one for people who struggle with dark knuckles try
using gentle cleansers right harsh harsh harsh skincare products really worse in the situation
right number two wash your hands after applying your spotlighters on your body what these creams
tend to do is they tend to get in between your fingers and then they end up lightening
the surrounding areas while leaving the knock was really dark so remember to wash your hands after
using your spotlighter or wear a glove whatever works for you all right number three don't over
wash your hands i know we're in the middle of a panda making panorama but um see if you can really
control that situation that's what i'm gonna say about that and number four carry a moisturizer
sunscreen in your bag right take your bigger moisturizer bigger sunscreen put it in a smaller
container and throw it in your bag whenever you're out and about you wash your hands you
have to do stuff with your hands re-moisturize your hands reapply your sunscreen and that's it
