Darkened underarms can make a person reluctant to wear any sleeveless outfits. Darkened underarms are generally caused by the repeated and prolonged usage of hair removal creams. These creams contain chemicals that dissolve the strands of hair but they also affect the skin. This is why it is not uncommon to feel a burning sensation when using these products. In addition to this, shaving can cause your underarms to appear darker. This is because shaving only gets rid of the hair above the skin leaving the rest of the hair below the surface of the skin intact and giving your skin a darker .You can wax your underarms in order to get rid of this problem. Waxing pulls the entire hair strand out from the root and although this is a more painful method from the rest it will not leave your skin discolored.
You can use a few homemade remedies for darkened underarms in order to get rid of this problem. You can use apple cider vinegar or fresh lemon juice in order to get rid of the discoloration. Vinegar and lemon juice are acidic in nature and will help to slough off the upper layer of dead skin cells and reveal the unblemished skin below. You can use the lemon juice undiluted by applying it to your underarms and allowing it to dry. Lemon juice is also a bleach and so it will help to get rid of the darkened skin. Apple cider vinegar is a little strong, so dilute it by adding an equal quantity of water to it. You can then apply this solution in the same manner as the lemon juice. It would be best to use this method before you shower or before you go to bed at night.
In addition to this, you can also us e a body scrub to exfoliate your skin. This method too helps to get rid of the accumulated dead skin cells and grime on the surface of your skin. You can make your own body scrub out of a few easy-to-get items that you probably already have. Chop a raw potato and add the pieces to your blender. Add two spoons of honey to the blender and blend on high speed for a minute or two. Add Bengal gram flour or black gram flour to the mixture and mix well to obtain a paste. Add a few teaspoons of sugar to this and use it to scrub your underarms. Use this at least twice a week for quicker results.
