Dark Armpits No More: Prevent and Lighten with These Natural Tips

We often ignore the underarms, which become slightly darker over time, due to improper care and their genetics. No matter how dark your underarms are, it's never too late to start working on them to make them smoother and whiter.

Simple and best natural tips for underarm whitening:
Here are some simple and best natural home remedies for soft and white underarms to make you feel beautiful ever.

1. Baking Soda:
Baking soda naturally exfoliates the skin and brightens the skin by removing dry skin and dead cells. Baking soda is a simple remedy for body odor which is the main cause of dark underarms.

How to use:

Take 2-3 spoons of baking soda in a bowl
Add a teaspoon of rose water and enough water to make a thick paste
Apply an even layer of the paste on the underarms and leave for 15-20 minutes
Scrub well and rinse with cold water
Applying this paste two to three times a week will not only make your underarms white and soft but also help you get rid of smelly underarm sweat.

2. Chickpea Flour:
Popularly known as gram flour, this common ingredient from the kitchen is a treasure for our skin. It is an excellent cleanser and helps to brighten the skin by removing impurities.

How to use:

In a bowl, mix 3-4 tablespoons of gram flour, a pinch of turmeric, a teaspoon of lemon juice and enough yogurt to make a paste.
Apply on the underarms and leave for 15 minutes.
Once the paste starts to dry, wet fingers and massage gently in circular motions.
Wash off with cold water.
This mixture can be used three times a week. If the skin feels a little dry after removing the pack, massage with moisturizer.

3. Sandalwood Powder:
Itching and build-up of germs in the underarms is a common problem besides it being dark. Sandalwood is a common remedy for these multiple problems.

How to use:

Take 2-3 teaspoons of sandalwood powder and half a small teaspoon of turmeric.
Add rose water to make a smooth paste.
Apply this mixture on the underarms and let it dry.
Use a damp cloth (cold) to clean the mask.
Doing this twice a week will lighten the underarms and make them soft and smooth. Sandalwood's cooling properties will also reduce the problem of bad breath.
