Homemade brightening scrub being applied to neck using natural ingredients like rice flour, yogurt, and turmeric for smooth glowing skin.

Natural Brightening Scrub for Dark Neck, Elbows & Knees

Dark areas on the neck, elbows, and knees often appear from friction, buildup, or sun exposure.
This simple, gentle scrub lifts dead skin, softens rough patches, and naturally restores your glow—no harsh chemicals needed.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Rice Flour – gently exfoliates and brightens skin
  • 1 tbsp Yogurt – contains lactic acid for softening and lightening
  • ½ tsp Turmeric – evens skin tone and reduces dark pigmentation
  • 1 tsp Honey (optional) – hydrates and adds natural shine
  • A few drops Lemon Juice (optional) – helps fade discoloration

Instructions

  1. Mix all ingredients in a small bowl to form a smooth paste.
  2. Apply to dark areas: neck, elbows, and knees.
  3. Massage gently in circular motions for 2–3 minutes.
  4. Leave it on for 10–15 minutes.
  5. Rinse off with lukewarm water and pat dry.
  6. Finish with a light moisturizer or SPF lotion if going outdoors.

💡 Use 3 times per week for best results.

Pro Tip

After exfoliating, apply aloe vera gel or vitamin E oil to help lock in moisture and maintain brightness.
Avoid using lemon daily — limit it to twice a week for sensitive skin.
