How to Remove Underarm Darkness at Home

 How to Remove Underarm Darkness at Home

CMT is here to tell the truth, underarm darkness is a thing that most of us have to deal with, and never discuss. Dark underarms may be due to shaving, tight clothes or even the chemical deodorants or even due to genetics and this makes us reluctant to wear clothes without sleeves or raise our hands without any diffidence.

I also felt the same until in my college days whenever I wanted to wear a sleeveless dress but I lacked confidence due to my dark armpits. It was at that moment that I began to seek natural and simple home solutions most of which really do work when applied on a regular basis, and with patience.

Have you been asking how to clear the darkness underarm at the comfort of your home without parting with your money in costly skincare products and gels? You are at the right tutorial. We will now take a look at the easy, safe and cheap solutions using household items that you can easily find in your kitchen.

🌟 What Causes Underarms To Look Dark?

• First, it’s good to know what causes most instances:
• Shaving: it trims hair on the skin surface, but also irritates the skin.
• Deodorants & Antiperspirants: Some have alcohol and chemicals which cause skin darkening.
• Dead Skin Build-up: Not being regular with the exfoliating process can lead to formation of dark patches.
• Tension: Dresses that are too tight, particular in heat, can cause discolouration.
• Hormonal imbalances: At times, dark underarms have been connected with disorders such as PCOS or diabetes.

Now to the solutions.
