killing germs. Try a slice or two under your arms. In the warm summer months, keep some sliced lemons in the fridge. This is great for a refreshing feel.
Tomatoes
Lycopene counteracts the actions of free radicals, causing tomatoes to be a great antioxidant for the skin. They are also known to have skin-lightening properties. Use slices of tomato under the arm for at least 15 minutes at a time to begin to see a difference.
Oranges
The properties in oranges make them a great toner and astringent. Try making the orange peel into a scrub, giving it a double whammy as an exfoliator, too!
When to See a Doctor
If natural remedies don’t lighten your underarms or if you experience itching, irritation, or other concerning symptoms, it’s important to see a dermatologist. They can help determine the underlying cause of your dark underarms and recommend appropriate treatment.
