SEVEN HOME REMEDIES TO WHITEN UNDERARM

FIND THE BEST WAY TO REMOVE UNDERARM HAIR!

Be careful in choosing your hair removal agents or depilatory creams, some products contain strong acids and other substances that darken the skin beneath. Shaving also makes armpits darker. When we shave, aside from the hair, we also remove the top layer of our skin thus when the new layer of skin is exposed to sweat it will immediately darken.  TIP:  The best way to remove hair is waxing but let your underarms waxed by a professional because that area is sensitive and it can easily burn and bleed.

HYGIENE IS IMPORTANT!

Wash your underarm regularly with a mild soap. Dirt and oil that accumulates in your armpit will make it dark.

UNDERARM PROTECTION

Choose a deodorant which has fewer chemicals.  Some professionals suggest alum powder.

BLEACH IT OUT!

Mild body bleach will lighten the armpits to a greater extent. Perform patch test before bleaching for underarm skin is very delicate.

GREAT MIXTURES!

1. Make a paste of 1 tsp yogurt, 1 Tbsp gram flour and 1 tsp milk. Put it in your underarm and wash it off after 20 minutes.
2. Lime juice, milk powder, and honey are a great mixture. Put the paste in your underarms and wash it off after 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
3. Mix 1 tsp of lime juice, 1 tsp of cucumber juice and a pinch of turmeric powder. Put it in your underarm and wash it off after 20 minutes.

AVOID TIGHT SHIRTS

Friction can cause underarms to darken. Avoid wearing tight shirts that would brush against your armpit instead wear loose, breathable clothes.

EXFOLIATE!

Scrubbing your underarm skin with a pumice stone will help to exfoliate your skin. It will get rid of the oil, dirt and sweat that accumulated in this area.
