@doctor.nicolej: Black women, so many of us have dark elbows and dark knees. It's so common and extremely normal, and if you don't want to do anything about it, you don't have to. But if you do, here are some products you might want to add to your body care routine to help even out your skin tone. Glycolic acid on your knees and elbows is very helpful for exfoliating and shifting that pigment, like the Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner from @The Ordinary @The Ordinary Store UK . Pair that with a moisturiser that further helps to exfoliate the skin, like the Daily Nourish Lotion from @Amlactin with 12% lactic acid. It's super helpful for fading pigmentation, and your skin is going to be so soft and smooth. And I swear, if you don't wear your sunscreen every day, we are going to fight. These acids make your skin more sensitive to the sun for up to a week after you stop using them, so a daily sunscreen like the SPF 30 from @Black Girl Sunscreen is a non-negotiable, and I don't want to hear anything else. Now, these recommendations are all good, but please give them a chance to work. Don't get into my comments section telling me it did not work for you when you literally only tried it for one week. Give it a minimum of one month, ideally three months, before you decide it's not working, and if nothing has changed after three months, see a doctor. This is part 2 of my series, Black Girl Body Care. If you like these kinds of recommendations specifically for the Black girls, follow me, because I do this all the time. Be honest, how long did you give your last body product before you gave up on it? Tell me in the comments! #darkknees #bodycare #blackwomen #hyperpigmentation #BlackTikTok
