Dark elbows and knees
Dark elbows and knees can affect your self-confidence and force you into hiding them with long-sleeved shirts or full-length pants. These are areas that are often ignored. Due to dead skin build up, these areas turn dark. Says beauty expert, Shahnaz Husain, “Take half a lemon and rub it daily on your elbows and knees. Wash off the area and then apply sesame oil and massage it gently.” This will help lighten the skin.
Sagging neck line
While you take special care of your facial skin, you don’t pay attention to the skin around your neck. Says dermatologist, Dr Mohan Thomas, “The skin around your neck is more sensitive than your facial skin. It is thinner and has less fatty tissues and thus it tends to lose elasticity as you age. This causes dryness, premature ageing, fine lines and discolouration.” To avoid these problems, cleanse your skin and exfoliate the area to get rid of dead skin cells.

Ageing Hands
Did you know, your hands are susceptible to the first signs of ageing and age faster than your face? Says Husain, “Make sure you use a good moisturising lotion after taking a bath or wash your hands regularly.” Don’t forget to wear a sunscreen with an SPF 15 before stepping out in the sun.
Tanned feet
For your feet, use a pumice stone every alternate day, to remove dead skin cells. Also, apply a heavy moisturiser on your feet before you sleep.
Dark circles
Dark circles appear due to stress, lack of sleep and a good diet. Keep a slice of cucumber over closed eyes every morning for about 10-15 minutes. Similarly, you can also take used tea bags and place them over closed eyes for 10 minutes.
Frizzy hair
Due to lack of moisture in the air or excessive pollution, your hair tends to become frizzy. Naturally, such hair becomes extremely difficult to manage.To treat frizzy hair, deep condition them at least once a week. Alternatively, you can also use a hair mask made with one egg yolk and olive oil.
Hairfall
“Hairfall can occur due to constant exposure to pollution and the harmful UV rays of the sun. Sometimes, not following a proper diet can also aggravate the problem,” says dermatologist, Dr Swati Srivastava. To treat hair loss, massage your scalp with coconut hair oil two times a week, to stimulate and moisturise your scalp. Since stress can also trigger hairfall, meditate or practise yoga daily.
Nail stains
If you are in the habit of wearing nail polish every day, you might develop yellowish marks on your nail. To keep your nails healthy — let them breathe. Says Dr Narmada Matang, Head medical services, Kaya Skin Clinic, “Keep your fingers dipped in lukewarm water with a little vinegar or soap for approximately 20 minutes to let the stain fade.” You can also rub your fingers with a lemon wedge to remove the marks
