Lighten Your Underarms at Home

Many people may be looking for a way to get of the darkening of skin at the underarms. But, this is being done without the knowledge of its causes hence the solution has always been unsatisfactory. Like every other problem that troubles humans, nature has a solution to this problem too.

Let us first start with understanding what causes the underarms to blacken. Experts say that darkening of the underarms is a process similar to sun tan. Just like you acquire tan due to exposure to the sun, underarm skin darkening happens due to continuous exposure to certain substances like alcohol-based deodorants and antiperspirants.

This is a problem with multiple solutions that are very simple to implement. Rubbing a slice of potato on the affected area, can work very well. It is a result of the mild acidic properties that you will be able to lighten your skin in that area. For best results, rub a sliced potato and leave it on for 30 minutes before washing it off with lukewarm water.

Cucumber also has a similar effect, if you rub it on your underarms and leave it on for 30 minutes. The lightening of skin happens in case of cucumber because it acts as a natural bleach without leaving any side effects on your skin. Repeating this exercise twice everyday, can make things change in your favour.

Another  solution to this problem is to use lemon. Unlike all the other solutions described above, lemon needs only 10 minutes your skin. The antiseptic and anti bacterial properties make this a possibility. So, use any of the above solutions and get rid of dark underarms forever.
