Making Dark Underarms Impossible: Here’s How!

Many articles have been trying to solve this major concern faced by most women, but only a few have been helpful for them. While all girls love to wear that favorite sleeveless top or that sexy two-piece suit, some are hindered by those dark pits, which steal everyone’s confidence. And like all problems do, this one also comes with a lot of solutions we do not know that exist.

First and foremost, what we need to understand are the reasons that cause these dark underarm skins. Commonly, dead cells building up in the underarm area causes darkness. In some cases, this is also caused by Acanthosis Nigricana, a medical condition mostly found in overweight people. Other reasons for having dark pits are gland disorders, diabetes, genetic factors, and shaving.

If you are one of those who is in trouble of having a dark underarm skin, here is a list of what you can do to lighten them up and bring back that confidence that’s really meant for you.

1. Rubbing a lemon 15 minutes prior to your bath: Lemons contain antibacterial and antiseptic characteristics, making it a natural bleaching agent.  Aside from helping the skin get a lighter tone, it could also exfoliate the cells.

2. Rubbing a slice of tomato daily and leaving it overnight will help. With strong bleaching properties, it is a very effective skin lightener which also helps lessen sweating, one main cause of skin discoloration.

3. A mix of turmeric powder and lemon juice makes a hundred percent result in lightening your skin. Aside from being considered as an important beauty ingredient, turmeric is also known to be an effective natural remedy for the dark skin.

4. Because coconut oil contains vitamin E, it is helpful for skin lightening. Pigmentations which cause dark skin are often caused by dryness, and oil (coconut, almond, etc.) is the most effectual lubricant. A 20-minute massage every day makes a big difference in your skin tone.

5. Known to be a great skin moisturizer, massaging milk in the underarm area not only gives a lighter skin but also a softer and brighter one.
