Hot To Treat Dark Underarms/Armpits At Home Naturally

There are a number of reasons for dark underarms/armpits. While it can be due to hereditary the main causes can be due to the excessive use of some deodorants directly on that skin area, using antiperspirants, shaving that area with a razor, getting that area bleached, using depilatory creams etc. it’s not a medical condition that one should be bothered too much but still darkening than the usual may bother many!

Here are the ways to get rid of dark underarms naturally and the products used here are all available in your own kitchen!

But before trying ways to cure this condition there are few steps that you need to follow to see the desired results!

1) Do not wear too tight and synthetic clothes always.

2) Stop using chemicals on it! All the deodorants, creams and bleaches available in the market are full of harmful chemicals that in turn would make your underarms even darker.

3) Exfoliating helps and it’s not just for your face but also for the whole body. Try to use scrubs that are lemon or walnut based as they work really well. Apart from this if you have any other scrub go ahead and scrub that area in slow circular motion. Removing the dead skin from there is the first step to “removing the tan”.

Simple Home Remedies! (These are all natural and safe!)

5 ways to brighten up your underarms

A) Use a potato slice to get rid of the tan and uneven skin tone. The slice should be rubbed everyday for at least 5 minutes. Apart from this you can also grate a potato and mix it with lemon juice if you have oily skin and honey is you have dry skin. Apply this mask for 30 minutes and then wash it off with cold water. Potatoes are a great source of natural bleach!

B) Mash 1 ripe banana and add a pinch of turmeric with a teaspoon of lime juice. Make a thick paste. Apply the paste on the darkened area. Wash off with cold water after 30 minutes.

C) I love my gram flour pastes. Curd acts best in removing tan. Add 1 teaspoon gram flour with 2 teaspoon curd and apply the thick paste on the arm pits. Wash with cold water after 30 minutes.

D) Add equal quantity of Cucumber and lemon juice with a pinch of turmeric and apply with a cotton pad. Rub the juices for 5-10 minutes, let it sit on skin for almost 20 minutes and then wash off with cold water.

 E) Add a pinch of saffron in milk and apply this solution with a cotton ball on the armpits. This solution should be there on the skin for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Yes it’s too long but believe me you will see the results yourself!

 “INFO ON A SILVER PLATTER”– These remedies are for all skin types and can be used by sensitive skin as well. However remember that the area on which you apply the paste should not have a cut or shouldn’t be waxed. These remedies will help you get rid of skin discoloration. This can be used to lighten dark arm pits, face, knees and elbows as well!
