• Let us see how to treat dark skin at home 
• 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 (checkout
  www.vanitycube.in ) . You can use soft loofahs
  and pumice stones on a regular basis to clean
  them. You can go for a body polish once a month
  for better results.
• Moisturize- Do not forget to keep your problem
  areas moisturized. Get yourself 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.
• Sun protection- Use a sun-block cream before you
  step out in the sun. This offers protection and
  prevents further darkening.
