 How to get rid of dark underarms

·         Switch antiperspirant or deodorant brands or stop using antiperspirant altogether and just stick to using deodorant.

·         Simply rub a slice of lemon gently on the underarms for 10-15 minutes to naturally lighten your skin. Be  sure to moisturise afterwards. Other juices that can used to lighten the skin are tomato juice, cucumber juice, orange juice, pineapple juice, potato juice and aloe vera gel. A good recipe is combining lemon and cucumber juice with a pinch of turmeric to lighten dark spots.

·         Apply organic coconut oil regularly to your underarms to keep the skin nourished moisturised and reduce dark spots and hyperpigmentation.  

·         Combine one tablespoon of raw milk plus one tablespoon of plain yogurt plus a gram of a flour. Mix thoroughly to make a paste. Spread the paste generously on the your underarms for about 15-20 minutes then rinse off. The lactic acid in the milk and yogurt will eliminate discoloration and make your skin soft and smooth.

·         Mix a tablespoon of  baking soda with a little bit of water and use it as a body scrub to remove dead skin and promote skin lightening. Mixing the baking soda with lemon juice or vinegar will also help remove dead skin and lighten the skin.

·         Sandalwood powder has been shown to have tremendous health benefits for the skin. It facilitates glowing skin, reduces pimples, controls oiliness and has antimicrobial properties. For dry skin apply a paste made with sandalwood and milk and for oily skin mix sandalwood and rose water.

·         Vitamin E oil can facilitate skin whitening. Massage the oil on the underarms to help fade dark spots. If you have vitamin E capsules just puncture it and squeeze out the contents.
