EXFOLIATE REGULARLY

Scrub with a natural scrub gently using sugar and coconut oil (twice a week). This has the effect of preventing dead skin buildup, and as an added benefit — the underarm becomes nice and smooth.

BABY POWDER ROUTINE

Use baby powder as a final touch after gel deodorant. It may sound like a simple hack however, the difference it makes is substantial especially on those hot days where you need to feel fresh for longer.

NATURAL DEODORANT

Form a paste using baking soda and water. This natural deodorant has great odour neutralising properties and will keep your underarms smelling fresh all day.

VITAMIN E

Vitamin E oil can heal your underarm skin after the hair is removed. When applied to the armpits, it provides relief for skin damage and irritation, lightening dark spots and creating a more uniform brightening of the armpit.

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

Apple cider vinegar mixed with the spoon water works as a natural toner in balancing the pH of your armpits & reducing dark spots. Use it regularly, your underarms will be clear and smooth.

HYDROGEN PEROXIDE

Apply a diluted hydrogen peroxide solution to lighten dark armpit skin. Use sparingly to avoid irritation, and pair it with moisturisation for best results.

DIY EXFOLIATING MASKS

Combine yoghurt, honey and turmeric to create an exfoliant mask. Turmeric is used in this DIY underarm mask primarily to lighten dark areas, while honey helps to moisturise the skin, and yoghurt serves as an exfoliator but also nourisher.
