This often leads to darkening of knuckles.<\/li>\n<li>Skin diseases- Certain skin diseases like psoriasis and eczema tend to make your knuckles dark.<\/li>\n<li>Lack of proper care- Our hands and feet are often neglected by us.

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.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Moisturize- <\/strong>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.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sun protection- <\/strong>Use a sun-block cream before you step out in the sun.

You may add a pinch of turmeric to benefit from the antiseptic and skin-lightening properties of turmeric.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemon and honey pack<\/strong>&#8211; Use equal quantities of lemon juice and honey to make a soothing and moisturizing pack.
