Baking soda

Dark underarms can be caused by dead skin cells, and baking soda is an excellent exfoliant. Take a few tablespoons of baking soda and mix it with some water to create a thick paste. Gently rub into your armpit in a circular motion. Do this 3-4 times a week.

Turmeric

Turmeric is an antioxidant that has been used as a key ingredient for toning and whitening skin. Turmeric prevents excessive secretion of melanin, but when using home remedies containing turmeric, try to stay away from direct sunlight because it can lead to sunburn and dark spots.

Potato, Lemon, and Cucumber

These ingredients are mild natural bleaching agents. Take a thin slice of potato/cucumber or a wedge of lemon and rub it on your underarms. Alternatively, you could also juice the potato/lemon/cucumber, add a dash of turmeric, and pat the juice onto the area. Leave it to dry for 15-20 minutes then wash off with lukewarm water. Do this twice daily for better results.
