4. Cucumber
Cucumbers contain natural skin lightening properties and also help reduce inflammation. Similar to the potato, you can either rub a thin cucumber slice on your skin or apply cucumber juice directly under your arms.
5. Baking Soda
Exfoliating the skin (scrubbing) removes dead skin cells, helping to lighten the skin. The coarseness of baking soda makes it a perfect base for making exfoliating scrubs. Combine baking soda and water to make a thick paste. Apply the paste to your underarms and gently scrub. Cleanse the underarms with warm water afterward.
You can also try these natural home remedies on other areas that tend to become darkened, like knees, elbows and lips.
