Are you always tempted to wear sleeveless clothes but avoid it due to unclean underarms? It is and has been a problem for many women as cleaning underarms is so far the toughest. Waxing is extremely painful, shavers do not shave the hair off, sweating stinks and makes you feel embarrassed no matter how ever you dress and look stylish. Today, lets take a look at simple tips to clean and whiten underarms.

Top 6 Things To Do For Clean Underarms

1. Use A Mild Soap – Too strong scented soaps are not ideal for the body, they are harsh to skin and may cause dryness or cause excessive sweating. It is always best to bath in (lemon squeezed) warm water with a soft scented soap. Although application of talcum powder leaves a white stain on the dress, it is good as it maintains the area dry. Use arm pads to avoid the talcum stains.

2. Using Deodorants – Although many deodorant brands promise to whiten your underarms never spray them directly on skin as they may irritate or darken skin even more. Prefer natural deodorants like sandalwood paste or powder as they smell good, have long life as well as be body-friendly.

3. Underarm Hair Removal – The hairs in the underarms make it appear dark. The thick hairs are difficult to remove and also increase the odour in the armpits. Shaving is painless but will not remove the hairs completely, using hair removing cream after shave may be ideal as even the trimmed bits get removed. Bleaching whitens and makes underarms appear more cleaner.

4. Sweaty Armpits Remedies – Everytime you find your armpits getting wet, dry them with a towel or tissue, this prevents further darkening. Applying gram flour, multani mitti will clean underarms thoroughly and also reduces sweating.

5. Underarms Skin Irritation – Skin irritation in the armpits may be due to friction, dampness or cosmetic usage. To prevent rubbing of skin, massage skin with vitamin E oil or coconut oil. This stretches skin making it more clearer and fresher.

6. Wear Loose And Comfortable Clothing – Too tight fitting clothes may irritate skin. The dyes and the fabric might add up to the reaction. Wearing loose fit cotton clothes (such as muslin, khadi) is good for skin and body.

A little care while choosing clothes and cosmetics, some home remedies and day to day cleaning tips will be enough to get clean and tidy underarms.
