Dealing with dark underarms could make you feel self-conscious, especially when they are in full display. One of the reasons I disliked wearing tank tops during the summer was my dark underarms. They were never super dark, but dark enough to make me feel insecure. If you are experiencing this problem, I have great news for you. Lightening your armpits is totally possible and easy to achieve using natural ingredients.

TURMERIC: Turmeric has antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce dark spots and evens out the skin tone.

HONEY: Honey is antibacterial, contains antioxidants, minimizes inflammation, moisturizes, and brightens the skin.

LEMON: Lemon contains a high amount of vitamin C, which helps lighten the skin naturally and removes dead skin cells.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 tbsp baking soda
• 1 tsp turmeric powder
• 1 tsp honey
• 1/2 lemon
• enough water to make a paste consistency

DIRECTION:

1.) In a small bowl, add the baking soda and turmeric powder.

2.) Add the honey, lemon, and water.

3.) Mix well to combine all of the ingredients until you obtain a paste consistency.

HOW TO USE:

1.) Apply the mixture to the underarms. 

2.) Leave it for about 5-10 minutes and wash it off.

* Recommend using 3-4 times a week*

*Do not apply on recently shaved underarms as it may cause irritation.*
