Things we hate: Dark Underarms



No matter your ethnicity, complexion or gender
 any area on your body that is significantly visually darker than the rest of the body 
sometimes can cause a little bit of insecurity.

One area specifically: the delicate UNDERARM area

Contrary to belief our underarms are "naturally" darker, its in fact our body letting us know that it has been irritated and needs some TLC. 



Things that cause underarm skin pigmentation: 

  • Your choice of scented Deodorant or Antiperspirant
  • The Razors that you use
  • Buildup of dead Skin cells & residue from ancient deodorant 
  • Tight clothing or Synthetic fabric friction 
  • Hair Removal Creams 

Want to take a stand against Dark Underarms?


Combine Lemon Juice & Baking Soda (Just enough to make a paste), leave it on skin until it dries. Wash with warm water & dry thoroughly.

Exfoliate underarm area 1-2x a month in shower with a exfoliating pad with mild unscented soap and warm water to rid buildup.

Rub underarm with a Potato slice ... sounds funny but Potatoes contain a natural bleaching agent.

Frequently change razors every 2-3 shaves

Try creating a Natural Sugar Wax(recipe HERE)
In the cooler months, take it back to the old days and deodorize with Baking Soda
