Cucumber

The skin in the underarm area can barely breathe, the constant sweat and heat are the perfect place for bacteria to thrive that cause infections and underarm darkening. To get rid of dark underarms, you can use cucumber to soothe and calm the area. Also, cucumbers have bleaching agents that lighten the skin.

  1. Cut slices of fresh cucumber and rub them directly on the underarm area. 
  2. Wash off after 10 minutes and pat dry.

How often:  Repeat the operation twice a day.
