10 Home Remedies To Treat Dark Underarms
Hey girl aren’t you the one who arrives in style? Always up for the ‘dress to kill’ moment? That noodle strapped dress is so ultra stylish, why aren’t you trying that? Dark underarms are your problem, right? Regular shaving, hair removing creams, alcohol based deodorants, excessive sweating and hormonal imbalance can darken the skin. Not your fault for sure but its stopping your way! Need to get rid of the ugly skin that makes you conscious about lifting your arms in public? But don’t wanna go the ‘synthetic way’? We have a list of natural ways that can restore your beauty and bless you with all the confidence to carry the most glam outfits!
Potato
Sounds strange eh? Yes, you heard us right. Potatoes have bleaching properties and can whiten your skin. Take a slice of potato and rub it on the affected region. You could also take out juice of grated potato and apply it regularly. This natural process can help you get your lost confidence back!
Lemon
We have all heard about the bleaching properties of lemon from our mothers. Washing powders are said to contain lemon to get rid of stains easily. Rub a slice of lemon on your underarms to whiten and brighten them! An added advantage to using lemon here is that it will cover the bad odor of your armpits!
Saffron and Milk
Saffron is related to luxury and comfort. Girls love pampering and what could be a more pricey way to pamper yourself? Soak a few strands of saffron in milk for the night. Then use a cotton ball (just as delicate as your skin) to rub the mixture on your armpits. Saffron will kill the odor causing bacteria, giving you the benefit of two!
Sandalwood
Ah the lovely aroma of sandalwood clouds our mind on just hearing the word! Remember all those beauty soaps with sandalwood in them? That itself tells you that it is good for your skin. Well, it fights bad odor along with whitening properties, what more do you want? Just apply a paste of sandalwood regularly and see the magic!
Orange peel
If patience is your strong point, you can give this one a shot! Dry orange peels in sun, then blend them along with rose water to form a paste. The acidic nature of orange will help you whiten your skin. Imagine, orange and rose water…that fragrance is gonna be so awesome, added advantage!

Baking Soda
Again a bleaching agent, baking soda can help you whiten your armpits. Make a paste of baking soda in water and apply it on the affected region. Let it dry and then wash off. This exercise will remove the dead skin and in turn will brighten up those hidden areas!
Whitening Scrub
Wanna whiten your entire skin? Opt for a home made exfoliating scrub comprising of brown sugar, honey and lemon. Three spoons each can be mixed to form a thick paste which when applied thrice a week will lighten your skin. Just don’t hurry to wash it off, keep it for 10 minutes for better results!
Cucumber
Just like potatoes and lemon, apply cucumber in either of the two ways to brighten up your skin. Slice it or grate it, the results are sure to show! For better results you could even go for a paste of cucumber, honey and lemon. Just apply it regularly and watch your skin turn a creamy white!
Coconut Oil
This one is definitely not surprising! Remember when you got hurt, your mother advised you to apply coconut oil to your would to prevent scars? It is equally good for lightening armpits. All you have to do is apply oil 10-15 min prior to shower and you are sorted!
Vinegar
Again acidic in nature so is great for whitening skin. It is a perfect bet to fight bacteria that cause odor! Mix it with rice flour to remove dead skin and whoosh! A bright skin is waiting for your appreciation! You could use apple cider vinegar instead for better results.
