How can I get rid of dark skin on my elbows?

[BornToFolk]

So, the summer's finally here and I need to get my arms out!

But the skin on my elbows is really dark It's on my actual elbows but I also have a patch lower down my left arm that's slightly thickened and dark (think it's from where I lean on my desk at work

How can I get rid of it? I already exfoliated regularly and use a body lotion at least once a day. What else can I use?

Try the elbows in a squeezed lemon half then use an oil and salt scrub.
Might be worth a try?

Yes, that a flexitol daily.

Oh yes, that's what Anne Of Green Gables did

I have this and on my knees too. I've tried loads of things so any more suggestions would be great. My mum has it too so I think it might be genetic.

Bugger, I've just re-read AoGG too, you'd think lemon juice would have occurred to me!

Right, will stock up on lemons, salt and tequilia Flexitol. Thanks!
