Quintos: dark knuckles and elbows
"Quinto" is the local name for darker areas on the knuckles, finger joints and elbows. There, the skin is thicker, folded and exposed to friction, so it darkens faster than the rest of the body. It is very common and not a sign of poor care.

Our advice
The right habits
- Apply your care with fingers unfolded to reach the creases of the knuckles.
- Exfoliate gently and moisturise right after, without scrubbing too hard.
- Avoid "strong" lotions: they damage the skin instead of helping it.
See a dermatologist if the dark area comes with itching, thick patches or cracks, or spreads to other skin folds.
