HOW TO GET RID OF DARK UNDER ARMS
SUMMER is upon us and everyone wants to wear summer clothes but that can be challenge and really embarrassing lifting up your arms to wave or just stretch when they are darker than the rest of your body. On this post am going to share with you how you can get rid of those darker underarms - the natural way.
CAUSES OF DARK UNDERARMS
Hair removal creams
Some hair removal creams are chemically harsh and when coupled with sensitive skin the reaction and end result can be drastic dark under arms.
Tight clothing
Wearing tight, especially synthetic, clothes can cause a lot of friction under your arms and then cause the problem under discussion.
Deodorants
Regular use of anti perspirants or deodorants during the day and night may cause dicoloured underarms. It is advised to give your skin a break from them from time to time.
Dead skin cells
Built up dead skin cells under your arms can cause discolouration from lack of exfoliation.
Medical conditions
A medical condition known as acanthosis nigricans which is related to some glandular disorder or insulin production causes discolouration of the armpits.
Also a bacterial infection called erythrasma can also be a culprit in producing black armpits.
NATURAL WAYS OF GETTING RID OF DARK ARMPITS
POTATO
Raw potato is a natural bleach which is very mild and has no negative side effects.
Grate 3 medium potatoes to extract the juice. Apply the juice with a cotton ball in a dabbing motion. Leave it on for 30 minutes and wash it off with water.
LEMON
We can't talk about skin lightening without mentioning lemon. It is the most effective natural skin lightener. Take a lemon and cut it in half then apply on your under arms for 30 minutes and wash off.
Alternatively you can mix 2 tablespoons of lemon juice with a tablespoon of soda to make a paste and scrub for 5 minutes and leave it on for 15 minutes then wash off.
CUCUMBER
Just like lemon and potato, a cucumber is also a very powerful skin lightening natural agent.
Grate the cucumber to extract the juice. Mix 4 tablespoons of cucumber juice, a tea spoon of turmeric powder and a teaspoon of lemon juice. Apply on the problem area for 30minutes and wash off.
RICE FLOUR AND VINEGAR
Rice flour is also known to have healing properties for the skin.
A mixture of 4 tablespoons or rice flour and 2 tablespoons of vinegar applied for 30minutes 3 to 4 times per week can get rid of the problem at hand.
Anything natural needs a little patience to see it's full potential.
