6 Remedies for Dark Underarms
4. Make a natural underarm skin lightener by mixing some lemon juice and apple juice. You can also use white grape juice in place of apple juice. Apply this lightener to your dark underarm skin, leave it there for 20 minutes and then wash the area properly.
5. Apply apple cider vinegar everyday to the dark area. Regular use of apple cider vinegar lightens up your dark underarms. Make sure you don’t use soap in order to wash off the vinegar. You can use plain water to wash your armpits after 15 minutes of applying the vinegar.
6. Use potato and cucumber to lighten up your dark underarms. They are good natural bleachers. You can cut a potato or cucumber into slices and place one slice at a time on the dark area. You can gently rub the slice as well. You can also mix potato and cucumber juice for easy application.
Along with all these treatments, you can try and take some important precautions to prevent underarm skin darkening. Avoid using deodorants having alcohol. Scrub or exfoliate your underarms gently on a regular basis. This removes dead skin cells for your armpits. It is important to use a mild talcum powder on your underarms after every bath. You can go for an antibacterial powder if your underarm skin is sensitive or if your powder causes itching.
