its not so hard to whiten your knees, but it may take a while. im Indian and we Indians have LOADS of home remedies for any type of skin problem like acne, black lips, knees, etc.

you can try the following:

mix equal proportions (ideally one tablespoon each) of honey, almond/coconut/olive oil and sugar (yes, SUGAR. trust me!). add half a table spoon of salt, and add a whole lemon to the mixture. the paste that you get is usually watery and may or may not smell good to you. i don't really mind the smell. to thicken the paste, you can add Bengal Gram Flour. if this isn't available, don't worry - you can use rice flower instead. if even this isn't available, don't try adding more sugar/salt - itll scratches you.

when you go for a shower, pour some of the mixture on your knees/elbows and massage them for five minutes each. i usually do this when i wash my hair. since i have to wait for five minutes after my conditioner has been applied, i do this. you should see a change as soon as youre out of the shower. if you don't, don't worry - it will work eventually.

here's another, much easier thing you can do, but its not as effective long term. cut a lemon in half and rub each half on one knee for ten minutes, or less. however, you must make sure you have applied moisturiser/lotion the previous night, or else the lemon will cause your skin to get dry. DONT APPLY MOISTURISER AND IMMEDIATELY USE LEMON.

use the first remedy once a week, and use any other body scrub on your knees. apply liberal amounts of lotion every night. if your knees are exposed, wear a sunscreen.

i hope this helps! good luck =)
