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.

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.
