With time, these substances that are well-known for whitening the skin may aid in making dark spots seem less noticeable. This is how you do it:
Lemon Juice: Because lemons are abundant in vitamin C, they naturally bleach skin and help remove dead skin cells that can lead to darkening.
Baking soda is a mild exfoliator that can stop more darkening by clearing clogged pores and removing dead skin.
Coconut Oil: Rich in lipids, coconut oil soothes and replenishes the skin’s natural moisture balance.
Steps to lighten your armpits and thighs:
Prepare the mixture:
- Take 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
- Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda.
- Mix in 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
- Stir the mixture until it forms a smooth paste.
Application:
- Clean the affected areas (armpits or thighs) with warm water to open the pores.
- Apply the mixture evenly to your armpits or inner thighs, gently massaging in a circular motion for 2-3 minutes.
- Let the paste sit for 10-15 minutes.
Rinse off:
- After the mixture has dried, rinse it off with lukewarm water.
- Pat the skin dry and apply a light moisturiser to keep the skin hydrated.
Frequency:
- Use this remedy 2-3 times a week for noticeable results over time. Consistency is key!
Tips:
- Avoid shaving or using harsh deodorants during the process, as these can contribute to darkening.
- Patch test: Always do a patch test on a small area of your skin to ensure you don’t have any allergic reactions to the lemon juice or baking soda.
Your thighs and underarms should gradually lighten as a result of using this easy home treatment on a daily basis; the skin will also feel softer and more radiant.
