1. Dryness- Skin tends to become dry when your hands and feet are exposed to harsh chemicals or too much washing. This often leads to darkening of knuckles.
2. Skin diseases- Certain skin diseases like psoriasis and eczema tend to make your knuckles dark.
3. Lack of proper care- Our hands and feet are often neglected by us. We fail to care for them the way they deserve.
So, the first step to removing dark knuckles is to ensure that you keep these causes at bay!
How to treat dark skin at home- basic guidelines:
If you want to get rid of your dark finger joints quickly and wish them not to return to you anymore, here are a few basic guidelines which you should follow-
1. Be caring– Be gentle to your hands and feet. Avoid washing them with extremely hot water and refrain from rubbing them too hard. Go for manicures and pedicures. Also care for your knuckles by using soft loofahs and pumice stones on a regular basis to clean them.
2. Moisturize and Exfoliate - Do not forget to keep those problem areas moisturized. Lay your hands on a good quality exfoliating cream which will not only hydrate your skin, but will also exfoliate it. Most importantly, always use a hand cream and foot cream before you go to bed. Alternately, try adding a few drops of glycerin, olive oil or jojoba oil to your regular cream and apply it on your knuckles. This helps to keep your skin soft and at the same time, reduces chances of drying out too early.
3. Sun protection- Use a sun-block cream before you step out in the sun. This offers protection and prevents further darkening.
