The society has already created a major hoopla and created immeasurable standards for women. These standards are so high that unfortunately women fall prey to it too. While the benchmark of beauty does exist, more often than usual it is for our own personal hygiene. Of course it is a personal choice if we do or do not want to abide to the standards set by the society - underarm hair is one of the most controversial topics of all times. 

Priyanka Chopra Jonas came under fire when she posed with her arms up and everyone trolled her for photoshopping her underarms as it was spotless and clean. Our bold desi girl posed once again and shut down all those trolls and haters by posing with her arms up once again.

One of the newest finds in the kitchen. ACV is great for our body both internally and externally. All you’ll need is 2 teaspoon of ACV ans 2 teaspoon of baking soda. Take the baking soda and add vinegar to it. Let the mix bubble and once that has subsided, apply this mixture to the underarm. Leave it on until it dries off and then rinse it off with cool water. Carry this out thrice a week to get the best results. This remedy works out because ACV contains properites which help in removing the dead skin and also helps in lightening the underarm portion. 

Caution: We suggest you to try the solution on a small patch on your wrist and see if it suits your skin. 

Aloe vera 

Probably the best gift to mankind from mother nature, aloe vera comes to our rescue once again. All you need is fresh aloe gel. Just apply a layer on your underarms and let it sit for about 20 minutes and wash it off with water. Repeat this process on alternate days and see the difference. 

Turmeric 

Haldi or turmeric as we all know is great for brightening up the skin tone and it also helps in fading away all the dark spots. Take 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, add 1 tablespoon of milk and 1 teaspoon of honey. Mix all the ingredients together and apply the paste on the underarms. Leave it on for about 10 minutes and then wash it off with water. Repeat this twice a week for best results. 

Caution: If you are allergic to milk products then refrain from using this remedy. 

Olive oil 

Who would have thought that olive oil could have so many multi-purposes? Since olive oil is so hydrating, it nourishes the skin and also removes the dead skins. Take 2 tablespoon of olive oil and mix it with 2-3 tablespoon of brown sugar. Dampen your underarm and apply the mixture and rub it for about 2-3 minutes and leave it on for about 5 minutes. Wash it off with lukewarm water.
