This routine made me get rid of the dark underarms in no time. Stick on to the article, to know about the celebrity's underarm routine. Celebrities secrets to getting flawless Underarms 1. Cleansing the armpits Besides regular washing, you must also give utmost priority to your underarms because just like the skin on other parts of your body, the underarms skin also needs extra care. If you don't clean thoroughly, there are chances for dark patches to develop. Those dark patches will certainly ruin the appearance of your underarms. So, you must take extra care by cleaning armpits with lemon juice which makes the skin on underarms get rid of bacteria, dirt or any other impurities. What to do? In a small bowl, squeeze 1/2 cup Lemon juice. Dip cotton balls in the lemon juice and rub over dark patches for a few minutes and wash off. Doing this every day will make the underarms area light with even skin tone. 2. Exfoliate the Armpits Dark patches in your underarms form by the accumulation of dead skin cells, sweat, and dirt. To prevent this from happening, you must exfoliate your underarms oftentimes. Therefore, you must exfoliate the underarm skin with body scrubs and skin lighteners. You must exfoliate the underarms very gently once or twice a week because the armpit region is quite sensitive. What to do? Take a quarter-sized amount of body scrub or any good natural exfoliator to a damp washcloth. Massage your underarms with the washcloth for a while creating a lather. Then wipe off the scrub with a washcloth. You can do this quite often because you're scrubbing with a washcloth. If you use any other natural exfoliators, then use them twice a week. 3. Massage... Massage and Massage You need to moisturize every part of your body to keep it moist and supple. And if you're looking for a perfect solution to get rid of those dark patches, you must moisturize your underarms. Furthermore, your underarms are always in contact with cloth and skin which makes them darker due to constant chafing. So, use a mild and chemical-free moisturizer or lotion on your underarms right after the exfoliation step to seal in the moisture. 4. Change your Deodorant brand Most of the people are not really sure of what deodorant suits their skin type.

Waxing rather than Shaving Both waxing and shaving have their own benefits and flaws. As celebrities underarms are exposed every time, they must prefer a good method.

To avoid that, you can switch to waxing. You must wax your skin in the opposite direction of your hair growth just like shaving. This ensures to reduce the chances of getting an ingrown hair.

Many skincare experts claim that antiperspirant can darken the underarms especially those which contain aluminum or other parabens. 6. Go for Underarm treatments In case, if any home remedies are not working for you to get a flawless underarm, then go for underarm treatments such as using vitamin D, salicylic acid or alpha hydroxy acids creams which can improve the skin complexion. Else follow certain home remedies like using turmeric, baking soda or lemon. Before applying any ingredient topically, get an appointment of your dermatologist to avoid any irritations or skin complications. Read more: What Beauty treatments you must follow this year! 7.

So, there is a chance for the ingrowns to sprout up. That being said, never get fooled by the marketing gimmicks and use such depilatory creams. Up to the very end!
