Lemon Mint Elbow Bleach

While taking care of our hands, we often forget the elbows, which can leave them looking darker, rough and patchy. The skin on and around our elbows does not have any oil glands due to which they tend to become dry and darken faster than the skin on other parts of our body.

The Lemon Mint Elbow Bleach is an excellent homemade remedy that cleans the build up of dirt on our elbows and makes them clean and soft. This recipe uses two of the most effective natural ingredients: Lemon juice, an effective natural bleach and Mint, an aromatic, soothing astringent.
