Some of us are embarrassed by our dark armpits and avoid
wearing sleeveless clothes. Darkening skin patches under
your arms happens for many reasons. Here is a list of
things you should not be doing then a list of some
remedies to help you get rid of them:

FIRST CAUSES

1. Shaving – Stop using razors to shave your underarms
as when you do it cuts the hair just below the surface of
the skin which looks like stubble. Hair removal creams do
the same which makes the underarms look darker. Try
waxing as it removes the hair from the root itself.

2. Too much deodorant – Theories have evolved that
strong deodorants make your armpits look darker. Use
natural methods to deodorize yourself.

3. Skin friction – Clothes that are tight and harsh on your
skin may also cause darkening of your underarms.

4. Dead cells – One cause of dark armpits can be dead
cells. Exfoliate gently or scrub with lactic acid to avoid
them.


Ways to get rid of dark armpits:

1. Coconut Oil
Coconut oil contains vitamin E which plays an important
role in lightening dark underarms. Apply some coconut oil
to your armpits before bathing and massage for 10-15
minutes, then wash off with mild soap and lukewarm
water. Follow the process daily and you will gain fair
underarms over time. Additionally coconut oil works as a
natural deodorant.

2. Lemon Juice
Rubbing your underarms with lemon juice is one of the
most effective ways to lighten your underarms as lemon
has natural bleaching properties. Apply some before you
bathing then wash it off. Apply moisturizer to soften your
skin and don’t use deodorant for a few days.

3. Baking Soda
To treat dark underarms you can make a paste by using
baking soda, add some water so that it becomes a paste
and scrub your underarms with it. This will remove the
dead cells responsible for dark underarms and open your
pores. In an emergency you can wash your underarms with
water and apply baking powder to reduce the dark
appearance. Try this on regular basis and feel the
difference.

4. Papaya
Papayas contain enzymes that are great at cleaning skin.
You can apply some shredded papaya to your underarms
and let it dry, then wash off with water. Use papaya that is
not too ripe.

5. Potato
Potatoes also have bleaching properties and can be used
to lighten dark armpits. Slice a potato and rub your
underarms with them. Alternatively you can rub potato
juice on your underarms and leave it for 15 minutes to dry,
then wash off and you will see results in just a few days.

6. Gram flour and Yogurt
You can mix gram flour, lemon juice, yogurt, and a pinch of
turmeric powder to make a paste. Yogurt has properties
that can help lighten your skin and is great for your face
too!. Apply the paste to your underarms and leave for 20
minutes and wash with lukewarm water. Follow the
process at least 3 times a week for best results.

7. Saffron
Saffron works well to lighten the underarms. Mix a pinch or
two of saffron in milk or cream and apply the mixture to
your underarms before going to sleep at night. Leave it
overnight then wash off the next morning. This will lighten
your armpits and kill harmful bacteria that cause bad odor
