Home remedies like these will help you brighten darkness in the underarm area easily at home. The fear of anyone catching a glimpse of your underarms shouldn’t have you wrapping yourself in layers constantly. Bought a new sleeveless or off-shoulder top, but scared to flaunt it in public? Want to get your groove on at an upcoming function, but afraid to lift your arms in front of people? Kind of glad that winters are here so you can easily hide those dark underarms beneath your clothes? It’s about time you stopped worrying about it.
Dark, discolored underarms aren’t a medical condition and can be caused due to shaving, accumulation of dead cells, excessive sweating, improper ventilation, usage of certain medications or deodorants, etc. But being cautious all the time demands you to sacrifice your freedom and we don’t want you to do that. Hence try these natural, safe, and cost-effective remedies to lighten your dark underarms without any side effects.
1. Apple Cider Vinegar – Hello, Best Friend
An all-rounder, ACV has rich content of amino and lactic acid that helps clear dead skin cells and lessen scars. Its astringent properties unclog the pores and reduce skin darkness. You can simply pour some organic ACV on a cotton pad, pat it into the armpit area and leave it until it dries completely before washing it off. Repeat daily for quick and effective results.
2. Aloe Vera Gel
Known as the natural sunscreen, aloe vera’s antibacterial nature soothes inflamed skin and lightens discolored armpits. Just cut open a fresh leaf (from a plant in your balcony or the nearby garden) and extract some fresh aloe vera gel. Apply a layer of this gel on your underarms and let it dry for about 10-15 minutes. Rinse with water and use this therapy every alternate day for good results. You can always use the organic aloe vera gel available in the market if you can’t find a plant.
