Milady has the same problem, learn to live with it is the only solution she has discovered over the years and she is almost 60.

Poeple with olive school have beautiful skin!!! and, its normal for the joint areas to appear darker, like it's a little dirty. But, it's just your skin and it's not dirty. :)

It's normal for your knees to be like that.

Your skin is fine, relax. You just tan more in certain places than others. I have tan skin and every summer I fail at evening out my skin tone because my forehead always turns out darker than everything else. It's all connected to your genetic makeup and exposure to the sun.

It's normal and quite common. I have fair skin, but due to an injury, the skin of my right knee is quite dark, and it seems, will be for the rest of my life (it's been this way for about six years). But here's the thing: that knee has healed well, and works the way it's supposed to. So it's a little dark? So what? I can get around quite comfortably, and I don't really care how it looks. Who the heck looks at your knee and says, "Oh my Gosh, your knee is so UGLY!" It's never happened--I don't think people look at knees! So, relax and don't worry any more.

Cut a lemon in half and rub on elbows, U can do this on your knees also, the lemon will lighten the area, U can also use a gentle sugar scrub.
