For the most part of my life, I have shaved my underarms. Shaving is a quick, cheap and fuss-free way to remove underarm hair. I don t know if it the frequent shaving was to be blamed, but my underarms had always had thick, coarse hair. Shaving underarms would help me get rid of the hair, but I would always end up with dark patches. Wearing sleeveless or tank tops was out of the question because I was too embarrassed of my dark underarms. When I asked the beautician at my salon for a solution, she immediately suggested that I bleach my underarms. That didn t help me at all. This is when I started looking for home remedies to lighten underarms. As is the case with most home remedies, I thought this would take time to show results too. Thankfully, this DIY home remedy worked wonders. All you need to do is apply this every day for about 2 weeks. You ll definitely see a difference. Here are some other home remedies to lighten underarms.
Ingredients
2 tsp lemon juice
tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp malai
1 tsp utna or natural scrub
tsp honey
Method
First, thoroughly wash and clean your underarms, preferably with a medicated soap. Wash with warm water.
Scrub your underarms in a circular motion with utna. Wash with warm water. Do not scrub your underarms every day. Do this step twice a week. Try these natural face scrubs with utna.
Make a paste with lemon juice, turmeric, malai and honey and apply this to your underarms.
Let it dry and work its magic for about 15 minutes. Make sure you re sitting in a slightly cool area and that you re not sweating.
