Check out these DIY remedies for stubborn dark knuckles

Dark knuckles can be an eyesore and quite hard to get rid of. Are you tired of it? Well, take a look at our DIY remedies for dark knuckles.

A common misconception is that dark knuckles are caused by dirt accumulation which is simply not true. Therefore, scrubbing them vigorously will not solve the problem and could actually make the problem worse by causing further damage to the skin, The increased friction is traumatic to the skin and it will either get thicker, get darker, or both.

Dark knuckles are caused by extremely dry skin. From excessive washing to exposure to hot water, harsh chemicals (e.g., household cleaners), and exposure to sunlight without protection all lead to skin dryness. Dark knuckles can also be caused by some skin diseases: such as eczema, psoriasis. Obesity has been known to be a contributing factor to dark knuckles because, among its many problems, being over-weight is harsh on the skin.
