Ladies, how many of us have wanted to wear our pride on our collarbones and flaunt them to the world while twirling in itsy-bitsy off shoulder dresses, but couldn't?

We've made you a list of homemade tips and tricks to get lighter underarms! (Yes, it's possible for real!)
7 Effective Home Remedies For Fair Underarms
1. Lemon Juice
Daily after bathing, for a couple of weeks squeeze a lemon and apply its juice and extract onto your underarm skin to let its natural bleaching agents do their magic over time.
2. Rosewater and Sandalwood
Make a paste of sandalwood with rose water and apply the paste on the affected darker area and leave it on overnight. Wash while bathing in the morning. This mixture cools the skin and makes it soft, lighter and supple.
If you are facing dark lips issue, then do note that the home remedies can be effective to resolve the same.
3. Saffron and Cream
Mix a pinch of saffron with milk cream and leave the mixture overnight or wash it after keeping it for 20 minutes. Saffron also has anti-bacterial properties that kills the microbes causing bad odour. To reap better results, add 1 spoonful of curd to the mix.
4. Cucumber Juice
Cut cucumber into slices or put it in a grinder and apply the juice onto your skin to see the bleaching properties of cucumber do its magic.
5. Potatoes
Cut thin potato slices and rub those on your underarm skin twice daily to see lighter complexioned underarms in a span of a week. Natural bleaching properties and mild acid of potatoes ensure an easy way to achieve lighter underarms.
6. White Baking Soda
Baking Soda can work miracles with its natural bleaching agents. Add some water to white baking soda and make a thick paste out it. Exfoliate your skin with this natural scrub and you won't feel the need to use deodorants ever again!
7. Orange Peels
Dry Orange peels out in the sun and grind it to powder once dry. Make a paste of this with some milk or milk cream and scrub your underarm with this mix twice a week, wash gently and pat dry after 20 minutes of applying and see the results come to life!
No more hiding your underarms or being super cautious around people. Get scrubbing, and show some skin already!
