Ways to Whiten Your Armpits

Here are some tips on finally having white armpits…
What causes armpits to become dark?
The most common cause of darkening of the armpits is in the anatomy, the rubbing of the armpits against each other.
Another common cause: shaving and plucking. Every time you shave or pluck, you cause micro abrasions. When healed, these wounds cause darkening. You may not be aware of these, but you can easily confirm it by putting alcohol on your underarms after you pluck or shave. It’s going to be very painful because of the abrasions. Shaving and plucking can also cause armpit hair to stand straight up and enlarge hair follicles, making your armpit take on the appearance of chicken skin.
Waxing can also cause trauma to the skin, although the burn may be slight.
Some deodorants also cause an allergy and irritate your skin which results to dark armpits.
There are also other less common causes, like skin asthma. Extra weight also aggravates pigmentation and darkens some areas of the body, including the nape, underarms, and back of the knees.
So, what is the most effective and safest way to treat dark underarms? The best answer would be to visit your dermatologist, because you need an expert to tell you what’s causing the darkening and the most effective way to achieve white armpits.
Armpit peeling is just one of the treatments being done by the dermatologist. A peeling solution is used to remove the outer layer of the skin. After the peeling is done, you need to put bleaching agents for applying every night at home.
Another treatment is armpit bleaching. Some people go straight to this treatment, but it is strongly recommended by dermatologists that one has to undergo peeling first before the bleaching.
If you want an inexpensive natural whitening agent, use lemons. These are natural sources of vitamin C. Alum also works for controlling sweat and may lighten the skin a bit. But use this with caution as it may irritate the skin of some women. Below are some techniques:
- Leave-on Lemon and Alum – Cut lemon crosswise and remove seeds. After taking a bath, rub the lemon on the armpit. Then, using a circular motion, rub powdered alum on armpits. Leave on.
- Lemon and Honey with Alum – Mix 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 tablespoon honey. Apply mixture to the armpits. Let it stay for about 20 to 30 minutes. Rinse with warm water. Do this before taking a bath. You may also pat on some powdered alum afterward.
Your underarms may go back to its normal skin tone with treatments like bleaching, but to maintain it, you will have to eliminate all the other factors causing skin to darken. If your deodorant is irritating your skin, ditch it in the trash can now. Laser hair removal is also an option to avoid plucking and shaving, and it promises to rid you of unwanted hair for the rest of your life. It can even smoothen underarm skin.

are there other natural and inexpensive items to use to whiten underarms?
January 3rd, 2008 at 9:41 pm
(1) hmmm… : for the side effects of alum, i think, the usual precautions should be taken, like, trying out in a small area of your skin first then check if you’ll have some reactions from it.
(2) tarantada: in my country – Philippines, alum is very cheap, and can be easily bought in most drugstores.
(3) curious? : yes, tawas is called alum. i have no idea about the cost of laser permanent hair removal.
(4) scarlet : i think alum is the best natural and inexpensive items that can be used to whiten underarms, i’m not aware of any other product other than this.
(5) shanie : honey can be easily found in most supermarkets/grocery stores.

June 26th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
is alum the so-called tawas in the philippines?
July 1st, 2008 at 10:13 am
what’s alum in the market?
July 2nd, 2008 at 8:18 pm
alum is a component of “tawas” that you can see in the market with cheap price like 10php with the small size..Im using it years already and it works, just rub it GENTLY after taking a bath because it may cause skin irritation only if you rub and rub and rub it after shaving or plucking..hayz..so painful talaga..but doing the right direction can help. It also reduces the risk of having sweaty armpits..
…baking soda? is that really works guys? maybe i should try it. one disadvantage of using “alum” is it can lessen your memory leading to alzheimer’s disease…yes!!!
July 17th, 2008 at 2:21 pm
I have dark armpits too. I started using DERMADOCTOR’s armpit lightner. It really works. I’ve been using it for two months now.
It’s a little expensive but worth a try. I’ve also stopped shaving my armpits as often, as to not irritate the skin. I only shave when I wear tank tops. try dermadoctor.com. No Non-scents deoderant.
July 18th, 2008 at 2:22 am
you can use alum but with the right direction on how to use it. first your pits should be slightly damp. and then apply the alum. dont rub it that hard. it’ll be harsh for your pits.
folks says calamansi can lighten your pits.
July 19th, 2008 at 1:01 am
that very good idea i guez to test your skin sensitivity, before using new products…
July 23rd, 2008 at 2:46 am
Annaehr, where can we buy the DERMADOCTOR’S armpit lightner? im from the philippines, is this available here?
July 27th, 2008 at 5:15 am
uhhmmm.. after using those suggested items, do you still need to shave to avoid armpit hair? i mean.. it still grows right? is there another way to get rid of it?..the cheaper way?i’ve tried using lemon.. and it works..but not with alum..it hurts! my armpits were irritated back then.. so don’t dare to use it together.. it’s really painful..
July 30th, 2008 at 10:21 pm
after using the lemon and alum..what will happen next…would ther still be and odor?…because i have a problem about my armpit…
August 21st, 2008 at 7:02 am
Isn’t hair remover cream a better alternative to remove hair from armpits?? Please reply!!
August 27th, 2008 at 10:58 pm
does baking soda really work?
maybe i should try it.
my mother said calamansi works but not for me i guess because i sometimes forget to apply it.
which is better? the powdered tawas or the rock form?
August 27th, 2008 at 11:30 pm
so does the baking soda really work???
how do you apply it?
September 3rd, 2008 at 2:16 am
how do you use the baking soda, do you mix it with anything else?
September 3rd, 2008 at 4:52 am

Ugh – i recently got a wax and i think the lady left it too long or made the wax too hot that it burned my armpitos. Didn’t realize at first. Then i felt this awful burning sensation hours later and when i looked down, my armpits were RED as a tomato! Didn’t really think anything of it, thought i would just put some aloe vera on it. A couple of days later, altho my armpitos did heal, the “healed” skin turned dark!!! Really dark!
Then i became VERY upset and almost frantic as i researched for a home remedy but to no avail. Then i discovered something. I’ve recently been using mashed bananas on my face as a moisturizer all the while noticing that not only was it moisturizing my skin, but it was also… whitening it! Now, don’t be grossed out, k? But i tried some on my armpitos and i actually have been noticing a slight change! I will say that i am slightly intrigued but this “baking soda” phenomenon that i will HAVE to try it tonight! 
November 22nd, 2008 at 8:32 am
i think my armpit is bit dark… im worried about it, i can’t wear my suits anymore or even dis sleeveless clothes… can sumbodi give some tips??? i want to whiten it… tnx…
December 3rd, 2008 at 9:39 pm
Mashed bananas? how long did it take for the change to visible?
December 9th, 2008 at 8:38 am
IS LEMON AND TAWAS EFFECTIVE (PROVEN NABA?) how long does it take for the results?
January 4th, 2009 at 3:53 am
i tried it all though…but still no changes jst caused of getting darker, huh? any options there?
January 14th, 2009 at 11:24 pm
For my underarms to lighten, I stopped putting deodorant and each time after shaving I applied alcohol. when i started this i noticed each time i used the alcohol the darkness would rub off onto the cotton ball. my pits are very much lighter now and this was all i did. for those with odor issues that tend to need deodorant, my suggestion is to try rubbing a scented toner instead of alcohol if you know you’ll be sweating. i started seeing results in just a few days. but i rub alcohol at least once or twice a day even when i don’t shave. but do it definitely after you shave.
i also heard vitamin e helps with skin lightening. you buy the gel caps, poke a hole in it and squeeze and rub it onto the desired area. I use it for marks on my skin but never tried it on my underarms.
hope this helps!
January 14th, 2009 at 11:30 pm
Also, for deodorant users, you can try the tawas as mentioned above but not the plain tawas, they also have a tawas roll-on deodorant available at asian stores or look it up online, you might find it in ebay or amazon. you’ll be amazed at what you can find there.
January 15th, 2009 at 3:02 am
i believe baking soda…
but go with the lemon 1st…though it takes time, at least the long wait is worth….stop using deodorant…
well u can try nivea fresh with lemon grass….
January 23rd, 2009 at 1:17 pm
hi to all? plz i m also worried due to my arm-pit dark,plz can any one tell me how to use baking soda or lemon. tnx i will b very greatfull to u all , plz
January 24th, 2009 at 5:05 am
hey guys…
i have the same problem so did anyone answer me if the baking soda and the baking powder is the same? because i’ve use the baking powder as i thought they are the same item…but instead of lightening the underarms…it’s just making them more dark and also hurt…so, anyone can answer me plz…i have this problem for years now…
January 25th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Best way is to have Ampit laser. But you will be needing 5 or more visits. Not only it will take out the dark hair on armpit but also it will whitten it.
I had dark armpit. I develope it slowly from skin thrauma. Evertime I get a fever my nanny will give me a bed bath with Alcohol and water.
Hair laser are very painful. Believe me!
January 25th, 2009 at 11:45 am
Do not use deodorant that has alot of chemicals like “ALUM”. When I was a teenager I was using crushed alum and it will just give me irritation,persperant and still smelly armpits.
Try using deororants that are “ORGANIC” like Tom’s. It is milder than alum and the lemongrass scent has an effect on me that it exfoliates my armpits.
January 26th, 2009 at 3:33 am
I’m going to try this cause i’m getting married and the dress that i would love to wear would show off my arm pits. and i really don’t want people to be looking…
Thanks everyone! :^)
January 26th, 2009 at 11:23 pm

February 14th, 2009 at 10:46 am
can i use only alum on my armpit?
February 14th, 2009 at 10:56 am
i really need a better solution and if possible, the fastest way because we’re going to have a dance performance in school and we’re going to wear a dress with no sleeves and we’re always going to raise our arms … it’s too awkward when everyone will know that i have a miscolored armpits ! help !!!
February 16th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
so does ANYONE know how to use the baking soda??? lol
February 22nd, 2009 at 6:00 am
tawas/alum is very cheap, it will really whiten your underarm in a weeks time but my under arm got irritated so i stop using it.Lemon is also effective but do not directly rub the lemon on your underarm..squeeze the lemon with milk like paste and leave it for 15-20min.it will smoothen&lighten the underarm. I think alum should not be used regularly due to skin irritation..2-3x a week maybe.Alum whitens the underarm and prevents it from sweating.
March 1st, 2009 at 10:03 pm
how many week or days do u notice results?
March 2nd, 2009 at 1:08 pm
hey why is nt any1 tellin hw 2 use bakin soda??? guyz help…

March 12th, 2009 at 3:14 am
sabi ng sister ko , me kiosk daw na pwedeng mabilan ng AMIRA WHITENING CREAM sa SM megamall cost Php 700. Inaapply namin ng anak ko ito ussually sa gabi & pag maghapon lang kame sa haus. I’ve tried so many kinds of deodorants, pero talgang wala akong makasundo until me nabasa akong magazine, an artist na ang gamit nya sa armpit nya ay MITCHUM deo, so sinubukan ko ito & thankfully, hindi naman nag dark armpit ko. 2 or 3 mos. ko na din use ito. Mabibili ito to SM grocery section & Watson & mercury din cguro meron
March 12th, 2009 at 3:32 am

March 27th, 2009 at 9:42 am
baking powder is not the same with baking soda, use the baking soda for your armpits. Mix it with lemon juice and apply it after taking a bath. Your armpits will never smell…it works for me, I hope it works with you too.
April 3rd, 2009 at 5:29 am

ALUM POWDER, can also be use in underarm and foot.
MILCU is a 2 in 1 Underarm and Foot Deodorant powder, it is like a baby powder formulated to prevent odor and perspiration. Unlike other deodorants Milcu won’t give you a sticky feeling when applied to underarm or feet. It is mild, natural and fragrant free.
Active Ingredient: Potash Alum
The 2in1 MILCU cost P40.95 it is in a bottle like the Johnsons baby powder, it is available in malls (supermarkets. watson, PCX, etc.), Mercury drugstore And other beauty stores.
There is another MILCU, “The Original Milcu MAGIC PUFF” it cost around P90-P120, but its only for underarm. It is in a Powder Puff Container.
May 15th, 2009 at 10:47 am
try using SALLY HANSEN EXTRA STRENGTH HAIR REMOVER LOTION it cost about P500.00 295ml.It also reduces the appearance of hair growth and It delivers the result in:
(minimum time) 3 minutes, (maximum time) 10 minutes.
but swear it will really remove your hair even how thick it is! my boyfriend tried it on his armpit and “bigote” maybe 3 hours ago, you’ll just spread thickly over hair to be removed and after 10 minutes i wiped the area with a lukewarm water and a clean cloth and AMAZING it really works! the very thick hair were gone!
I bought it at PCX at ALABANG TOWN CENTER. I just don’t know where and what other stores it may also be available, maybe try searching on the web.
May 17th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
Hi guys, i’ve been experimenting for years now how to lighten my armpit. I’ve already tested several whitening products and I can only recommend one product that works for me, “Body Recipe” Skin Lightening Powder- Calamansi you can buy this product at any HBC outlet from the Philippines. It only cost P129.75. Just applied or leave this product for more than 20 minutes before taking a bath. Use 2- 3 a week, and promise your going to see the result. I hope this will also work to u guys. This is proven which I also highly recommended with my friends and niece. It is also effective to whiten your dark knees, elbows and groin. Just dont rub it briskly when you rinse the area.
May 22nd, 2009 at 1:08 am

okay this is weird i started shaving my armpits in high school and every since then i had the armpits gone wild!lol Am curious about what everyone that has commented about there armpits. But my question is about the baking powder or soda how do you use it? Do you mix it? and how long does it take to show improvement? Help ARMPITS GONE WILD!
June 8th, 2009 at 10:19 am
i recently just tried the baking soda yesterday and damn my armpits dont smell anymore ! but they’re still a bit dark. imma continue using it and hopes they get lighter.
what i do is get some baking soda and add a little bit of water. make it into a paste ( not so much water or it’ll be runny/liquid like ) then apply it to your underarm. leave for a few minutes. then rinse off. i do this while im taking a shower. not sure if you’re meant to do this after/before =/ but yea. armpits dont smell anymore ^__^
June 10th, 2009 at 9:23 am
i’m confused now..dunno what to use first and wen..i’m planning to use calamansi since it is cheaper..i’ve never tried tawas before..but i will do so.I am also plannin to use baking soda..gotta try them all and find out what’s best for me..
is the new product of “rexona skin whitening deodorant in just 2 weeks” effective? like i said..gotta try them all!i’ll start with rexona..but i’m having a doubt cause it is still a deodorant..which can make ur skin darker..
June 12th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
@ meow meow…do u still deodorant though after u take a shower?
June 12th, 2009 at 4:26 pm
i mean..do u still apply deodorant though after u take a shower?*
thanks
June 13th, 2009 at 9:21 am
oMg..i can’t believe i’m gonna be dealing with these dark UA’s..
i bought baking soda and new rexona skin light earlier this afternoon..i will apply baking soda:i will mix 3 parts baking soda with 1 part water (as indicated at the back of the box) and apply it after i shower every night..during the day..i’ll use rexona skin light.i don’t know if it’s really just meant to be but there was this sales lady that actually talked and discussed with me how can i whiten my armpit in 2 weeks using rexona skin light…(supposedly i’m gna be buying the block n white deodorant powder) but then this girl approached me..
i’ll update this forum for the results!:)
June 13th, 2009 at 9:24 am

oi mga sister na maiitim ang kilikili…nasubukan nyo na ba un placenta skin whitening with gatas ng kambing…sisters,matutuwa kau,kasi isabon nyo lang sa kilikiling maitim o singit then leave it about 15 minutes,after a few weeks….naku mas maputi pa sa puti….advice ko lang di pwede sa maiitim na tao,kasi pag gumamit ka nito,magmumukha kang dalmatian…echos!!!

hello i have dark arm pits too, im thinking of really trying the alcohol 2x a day thing, you can shave but then you must apply alcohol to the shaved skin. I read all these comments but i only want to try one and that is the alcohol and shaving, tho they say shaving is not very good and that is where the darkening of the skin started from it is all i can afford. and waxing is painful in various ways. Wish me luck as I wish you all luck. Thank you and goodbye

I’ve never had dark underarms but I’ve gone twice to wax my underarms (which I had never done because I just shave) and now I have a dark almost oval shape dark patch on my armpit!! I’m almost sure it was the waxing but does it go away???? ever???!!!!!

Does usage of epilator darken the armpits?
July 11th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
i used to have dark dark kilikili but not anymore. i’ve been using “amira magic cream” and it worked on my kilikili. i bought it from ebay, a little bit expensive but it work. it’s also kind of strong, the skin will peel at first then the whitening will start. i use it ever other month coz if i use it continously, it will look like i have a “buni” in my kilikili (mas maputi from the rest of my body lol).

i’ll try baking soda..hope its works..
July 30th, 2009 at 4:51 am
Hi to everybody…. I have a dark armpit and i have no guts to wear sleeves i did once and i was embarrassed. One day i was researching a solution how to lighten underarm and I was surprise that lemon and baking soda works as well too to a dark underarm . Baking soda turns my yellow teeth to white teeth using for year now ( and take note no bad breath too ) and lemon whitens my face. And I will try this for I believe it will work as well. I will get back here and I will testify to everybody so that many of us will stop worrying which one that is the best solution for our dark underarm.
July 30th, 2009 at 4:58 am
The simplest solution is to rub lemon slices on your underarms. Then, let the lemon juice sit for 20 to 30 minutes and rinse off. You can also add a bit of honey to this mixture to help it act more like a mask. This should be done twice daily until results are seen.

heyy, my classmate told me of another way to remove those gross hair on your armpits.. “it like a sticker that you’re gonna put in your armpit, but first wax is applied. then you’ll peel off the sticker several times until the hairisgone. It’s painful but worth it” .. she said.
I’ve forgot the name of whatever it is she’s using. But OMG! you should see her armpit.. it’s whitey .. shiny .. it’s wonderful!
) seriously.

heloo folks…try rhea ehtyl alcohol…it will lighten your UA…
but i’m curious ’bout that baking soda thing…maka’try din nga niyan….
nyweiz…watz the difference between baking soda and baking powder?
September 8th, 2009 at 12:43 am
I do have a dark, UA..a friend of mine shared to me that bonne milk salt..was effective.. Yet Im not that satisfied then, I’ve watched a segment in t.v…they used calamansi and lemon..yet, though i have already tried it..it didn’t work..
about the plucking issue..i sometimes pluck and shave..it depends on the affair i’ll attend..but due to rush..i sometimes, cut a skin..and bleeding..occurs..too mush pressure may lead to, discoloration of the skin..
Deodorant…ohwww..since 4th grade i used rexona..the liquid one..to my disappointment, my nightmare , now had stared..
as years pass by..my armpit started to darken..
“Baking soda”:) after reading such comments and opinions from different persons.. I’ll try this one..hope it’ll work!!

Rhea ethyl alcohol will darken your underarm so bad that you’ll wish you’re able to afford a skin graft! Hello? it will burn the sensitive skin of your underarm and cause post inflammatory hyperpigmentation…putting it simply, charcoal underarms! LOL. Bad, bad idea, disregard this. Want to have a brighter skin? or underarm? eat healthy! ingest antioxidants like vitamin c, munch on fruits, carrots, tomatoes and everything nutritious and finally drink heaps of H2o to flush away those toxins. You will have clearer skin, healthier hair, lighter under of the eyes and you will sweat better hence exfoliate better! These topical treatments, treat them as secondary options. The saying is true..beauty comes from within. Believe it or not, I’m a nurse I know what Im talking about. Good luck

I used alum with lemons as deodorant when I was younger. This works great and prevents(even cures) underarm odor, but I don’t think it whitens under arms. I now use a roll-on deadorant that has alum and it still doesn’t help with the whitening. I’ve given up on this.
The pure form of alum looks like a crystal rock(almost like a rock of salt). They grind this rock to make it a powder form(looks like powdered sugar). I’ve only seen it sold at Filipino/oriental grocery stores.
Here’s a funny story. When I was 10, I packed some alum(powdered form) in a clear plastic bag and stuffed it in a secret compartment in my luggage. During security check at the airport, the security folks found it and closely examined it, they thought it was coke or something. I was embarassed. LOL.

hi guys! try nyo din un magic cream frm ksa, may kmahalan nga lang, pero effective xa promise!
November 16th, 2009 at 6:17 am
my theory is salt.
haha .. but for real, when ever i\’m doing sport, of course i get sweaty, my armpits seem to be whiter. (doesn\’t sweat contain salt?) but then my deodorant darkens it.. still looking for a good deodorant. A good one, that\’s worked for me is Rexona roll on, but not the liquidy one.. anyway, i\’ll experiment using salt.
correct me if i\’m wrong.
right now, i\’m sticking to t shirts and no sandos or dresses that show my arm pits but i really do want to wear sandos because of the weather here in sydney!!
