At times especially as you age, you will notice that your knees tend to look a bit darker than the skin around them on your shins or thighs. For some these dark spots become very noticeable. There are things that you can do that will help you get rid of this dark skin on your knees by making them much lighter to match the rest of your skin.
Exfoliate the skin on your knees. Part of the reason for that darker skin is that you have layers of skin that are on top of each other. The outer layers are dead and dark. If you exfoliate the skin, your knees will instantly start looking a bit lighter making you feel more comfortable.
Protect your knees if you are on them during the day. This is not only good to make them not get so dark but good for your joints as well. Get some knee pads if you are on your knees. They will also be less dirty looking a bit lighter.
Eat a healthier diet. Healthy diets tend to make your skin look better regardless of where it is on your body. This should help improve the look of dark skin under the eyes, on the knees, and the elbows.
Try to use lotion more often. It's good for the skin in these darker places. Sometimes it's a dry skin problem as the knee skin tends to be a bit more flexible than others. With lotion, you can help the situation quite a bit.
Some will make a mixture of fruits and berries to be put on the skin. You can purchase these or make your own at home. Various ones tend to work better on certain skin types than others.
Some people who have very dark spots on the knees might have to get skin treatments or surgery in order to improve the appearance. It's costly but will be effective if nothing else has been.
