NO MORE DARK ARMPIT
Well wish no more because we are here to give some of a you remedies and if your lucky could work for inner thighs as well, because these are caused due to friction and shaving:
1. Potato
The mild acidic property present in potatoes is
a great natural bleaching agent. Unlike strong bleaching agents, it will
not cause skin irritation.
-
Simply rub a thin slice of potato on your underarms.
-
You can also grate the potato and apply the juice to the affected area, allow it to dry for 15 to 20 minutes and then wash it off with lukewarm water.
Use either of these remedies twice daily for better and faster results.
2. Cucumber
Just like potatoes, cucumbers also have natural bleaching properties to help lighten discolored skin.
-
Simply rub a thin cucumber slice on your underarms or grate a cucumber and apply the juice under your arms. Do this once or twice daily until you are satisfied with the results.
-
Another option is to extract the juice from a cucumber and mix it with a little turmeric powder and lemon juice. Apply this paste on the affected area. Leave it on for 30 minutes, and then wash it off with water. Repeat this home remedy once daily or every other day for best results.
3. Lemon
Lemon works as a natural bleach and a powerful
antibacterial and antiseptic agent. This is why lemon is used in the
treatment of various skin-related problems including dark underarms.
Lemon can dry out your skin, so apply a moisturizer after using these
remedies if needed.
-
To remove dead skin cells and lighten your underarms, rub a lemon wedge on the skin for a few minutes. Leave the juice on your skin for about 10 minutes and then wash the area thoroughly. For better exfoliation, you can sprinkle a little sugar on the lemon wedge and then use it. Do this a few times a week.
-
Another option is to mix a little turmeric powder, honey or plain yogurt in some lemon juice and apply it to your underarms. Leave it on for about 10 minutes and then wash it off. Repeat three or four times a week.
4. Baking Soda
Baking soda can be used to make an exfoliating scrub
to get rid of dark underarms. This will help remove dead skin cells,
which is one of the main causes of dark underarms. It will also help
unclog skin pores.
-
Mix baking soda and water to make a thick paste.
-
Use this paste to scrub your underarms.

Wash it off and pat dry the area thoroughly.
-
Repeat a few times a week.
You can also apply a light dusting of equal parts of baking soda and cornstarch to neutralize body odor.
5. Orange Peel
Orange peels can be used to lighten the skin under your arms, thanks to their skin lightening and exfoliating properties.
-
Put some orange peels in the sun for a few days until they dry out completely.
-
Grind the dried peels into powder form.
-
Mix two teaspoons of powdered orange peels with enough rose water and milk to make a thick paste.
-
Gently scrub your underarms with the paste and then leave it on for about 10 to 15 minutes.
-
Finally, wash the area with cold water.
-
Repeat the process two or three times a week.
6. Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is another good option to get rid of dark
underarms. Coconut oil contains vitamin E that can help lighten the
underarms. At the same time, it will also work as an effective natural
deodorant.
