U can grab a potato, cut it in half and rub the exposed part in your armpit. rub until the potato is dark and let your armpit sit. Take a shower and rinse it off! also works for black necks too. (not shaming anyone) I did not make this life hack up. Shout out to 5 minute crafts they showed this in one of their videos. also great vid! 😊
My friend has been using sunflower oil on her armpits daily and she said they got much lighter than they've ever been. I've been using it on my bikini area and I'm noticing that it's lightening up as well. You're right. exfoliating is important.
Ashhley Baez it's a brand called Human Nature from the Philippines but I'm sure any sunflower oil (maybe from whole foods or some place like that) will work. That brand just makes a bunch of organic things. :)
Hi! I just wanted to let you know you changed my life! Ever since I could remember I had dark underarms. I remember back in school I would always be self conscious, and I never ever wore muscle shirts or anything that showed underarms without a cardigan on top. When I would search on RUclips for help, ALL of the ones I would watch were click bait or made by girls that didn’t even have dark underarms! I felt like it would never get fixed. I started doing your exact routine in January of this year, and my armpits now are only 1/2 a shade darker than my skin tone. Thank you so much, seriously! I can’t believe I don’t have to worry about raising my arms ever again. Thank you!!!!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
@@reenrafi7342 results def didn’t show in a week. I don’t have a specific timeframe, I just followed her method religiously and now I’ve been doing it for years and still do.
@@YOURLOVER261 hello, so I def stoped shaving. I did laser treatments and now when they do grow back I use wax. I use native deodorant and I exfoliate with exfoliating gloves using Dr. Bronners soap.
2 Thumbs up to you for sharing this information with us. I know its very hard sometimes for us to share our flaws out in public but I really appreciate you sharing the tips and products you used to achieve this amazing outcome. I'm currently doing the same thing right now and I'm already seeing the results. I love your necklace and pendant as well, it really compliments you.
Listen.....girl your camera and editing skills are so fucking fire like this shit is clearer than my tv. My eyes had to adjust to this bomb ass quality. I love your channel and keep doing your thing!!! ❤
You should try a mixture of coconut oil with baking soda as an exfoliant. Baking soda is a natural Lightener and the oil acts as a conditioner to prevent in grown hair. I would also recommend waxing or laser hair removal. Thinning out the hair or permanent removal lightens the area by preventing the hair root to show through the skin.
New Subbie here, I just wanted you all (beginner shavers) to know that dark underarms is totally avoidable. 1. always shave your underarms last (the steam will open your pores and make the stubble stand straight up.) and on a consistent basis. 2. Shave them going in a downward direction only. 3. Use Jojoba oil before deodorant. 4. Make sure that your razor is always sharp. Never use a disposable razor more than once. These are the tips that my mom gave me on shaving when I was 12 and I have never had an ingrown hair or any hyper pigmentation even though I'm Black and prone to both. Good luck!
X'O Twod It's not necessary to get that close of a shave. If you have hair that grows in both directions, waxing your underarms after a trim is your best bet.
I can't thank you enough! my armpit discoloration is a huge insecurity of mine. I'm half French and my skin is practically translucent from being so pale and my hair grows abnormally fast. therefore my underarms look darker like I haven't shaved. you're a life saver ❤❤❤
I started using the kojic acid every day and the spin brush every other day for about 2 weeks and i moisturize with a fragrance free lotion like cetaphil or panthenol and i stopped using deodrant i swear my underarm became 4 shades lighter. I shave just once a month while i go to my laser session. Thankyou so much for helping me!
My dark underarms are my biggest insecurity! It just looks dirty when in reality it's not. I actually have that same kojie soap for dark spots on my face and I swear by it! Just recently stared using it for my armpits but haven't been consistent and haven't used a spin brush. Going to buy a new brush for my clarisonic and use it specifically for my armpits. Gotta get them ready for the summer! This video was helpful. Thank you for this
can't thank you enough for comming out here and showing us one on your insecurities to help us solve an issue we share and also that amazing discount. I've wanted to buy an exfoliation brush for years and I just bought one. lots of love your way keep making videos 💕💕
I love your hair and you inspired me to go natural and embrace my natural hair and come to find my hair is flourishing and is very healthy thank you again
I've never really thought about my dark armpits until recently. I've had them ever since I could remember, but they weren't a problem for me, but now idk why but it's really bothering me.
Same... For me, it's causey.bf pointed it out one day.. it never super bothered me. It did, but it didn't. And then he said something, and was like, is that cause of your coffee scrub? Cause he knows I use that, I lied and said yes... But it's made me very aware of them, and sometimes I don't wanna be intimate in the day time or with lights on where he might see..
Great information! This is very helpful. I have used all the other brushes on my spin brush except for the body brush. I am definitely giving it a try now. My grandmother used this remedy to lighten her elbows. Cut a lemon in half, squeeze out a little juice to make it like a small cup and scrub each half on your elbows(can also he used for knees) Do not rinse just moisturize with vaseline.Lemons have bleaching and exfoliating properties. Afterwards keep areas away from direct sunlight.
Loved your video... I always suffered with dark underarms and of course growing up with all brothers they will always make fun of me about it.... I'm the type of girl that loves summer time and dresses and sleeveless tops I'm just always extra careful not to lift my arms when I wear the clothes that I love. And trust me I've tried all types of ways to lighten them but nothing really worked. I'm gonna try out your routine. I also just bought that exfoliating brush you have. I'm so glad the code still worked :)
Jesus your hair takes 3 weeks to grow back after waxing? I tried waxing and mine grew back stubble in 2 days. Waxing isn't worth it for me 😂 your hair growth is slow girl!
Thank you for taking time to share this with details and the places you get the items for. Also you are beautiful inside and out. I say this because you take the time to care for others.
I recently started using the Arm & Hammer Essentials Deodorant in the scent "Fresh." It is aluminum free and paraben free. I haven't experienced any irritation, dryness, or under-arm odor since using it. This is a wonderful deodorant to use if you're searching for a cheap (~$2/stick), natural alternative. It also has a nice, neutral scent.
When i was about 5 or 6, I saw my mom using a Deodorant so as an innocent curious child, I also put some on my armpit. My mom was furious. it burned my armpit and it became super dark. 😭 I've been insecure about it since.
Thank you for this tip. I can't stand my dark underarms. As for the soap, you can do what my mother and i do. Cut up the orange soap into smaller pieces to fit into empty bottle, add 3 or 4 pieces to an old soap bottle and add hot water. This helps melt the soap and turns into liquid and lasts longer. Let it sit overnight and viola !!!!!!!! As you know this soap is very soapy so you don't need a bunch of pieces. If the bottle is 11oz or smaller, just add 2, 12oz & up add 3 or more. This has last us for a very long time
Awesome tips. I think African American women have this problem. I will start this process with my daughter so that she won't go through what I and my sisters did. Thank you!
Even though I don't suffer from anything dark on my skin, these were some good tips. l definitely learnt from this. l am gonna start to use aluminum free deodorants because now and then my arms are sensitive depending on the deodorant that l am using at the time, and ofcourse I don't want darkened armpits. Prevention is better than cure! Thanks for sharing!
Love love love this video. These are the topics I search for constantly...the things people are too embarassed about but we aren't alone! I've been researching on many different ways to have the same results. but now I know which way really does work!Thanks girl!!!
Women suffer these things period. I personally think it's because of some of these "hygiene" practices. razors makes cuts on your skin and scars it up, even if you don't see it, using these hygiene products with so many unhealthy chemicals it in it fucks up our skin(they do this to make us buy more products lol. they know that if we found out we only need a few products to take care of our bodies that would mean less money for they overall) it's even in pads and tampons and our food and shit. they poison us just enough to not be dead immediately, so they can take advantage of our half to barely functioning minds.
I agree, it is definitely more of a problem with WOC, there's very few white girls who discoloration in these places. Some do, but a lot of times it's just in there thighs or me neck if they are overweight due to friction. But it's not naturally as much of an issue there
Kojie San is very popular here in the Philippines . We can buy it over the counter. It's really effective but easily to dissolved in water because of the ingredient - glycerin. 4 years of using kojie san soap and cream. My arm pit is really light and smooth .
I use the exact same steps. I also use potato slices at night. For deodorant I use crystal rock. My underarms were a lot darker than yours and I'm an nc45. They are now even, if not maybe a bit lighter than the rest of my body.
CeeCee Harris use a thin slice and rub it for a few seconds. I leave it overnight and wash off during my morning shower. I also use koji, exfoliate with a spin brush (not this one), and crystal rock deodorant.
Liza Delyla I just told my mother about your post. She used to always say that her mom used to say (back in the 40s 50s) that people with arm pit stink used or should use an "Irish potato" underneath their arms. smh Alllll this time I thought she was crazy for coming up with this but here you are in 2017 on the innanets talking about it. 😂😂😂😂😂wow!
Kojie San is VERY popular here in the Philippines. It really works! Whitens your skin (it can be used on your face but wear sunscreen & dont stay under the sun) and dries out pimples. It is a really really nice product tho u need to moisturize right after since it can be drying
Thanks for the tip girl! I also stopped using deodorants that are not all natural. You should try the Schmidt's and the bergamot lime is my favorite! Definitely worth trying.
I did this and the result was instant 10shades lighter just from exfoliating!will look for the soap and deo to compliment the results.thanks gal for the tip.
I use Native natural deodorant which is also aluminum free. I buy it online. My dark underarms started AFTER I started using this deodorant. Also, Dr. Bronner's castille soap is amazing! I use the peppermint scented. Thank you for this video.
TeeMa J I just started using Native too and noticed this week! Not sure if I want to continue but it’s the best natural deodorant I’ve found that works.
Great tips! The only thing I would recommend is try lasering. Waxing was a good alternative to shaving, but lasering my underarms changed my life. I struggled with hairy pits and wax appointments were happening too soon, but since I got laser I have shaved in over a year! It's amazing and SO worth the money. It does not hurt that much and you will save money in the long run. Also waxing makes the pores bigger cause you are ripping the hair out. I noticed that even tho I was hair free the pores were big and not looking cute. So try looking into waxing! Also I know ppl who rub lemon on their underarms for like 5 mins, wait then wash it, and it works!
I'm allergic to aluminum, so I've tried out many different aluminum-free and natural deodorants. My favorite by far is Tom's of Maine, as it at least feels like it helps with sweating, and not just will odor. I'm also pretty sure it's natural. The deodorants that are like crystals that you roll on are sort of annoying and don't help with sweating at all. But obviously, to each her own!
OH MY I knew it was that soap when I saw you applying it on the spin brush! That's actually a very famous soap in PH *o* I never knew how effective that is until I saw this vid! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and tips you don't know how much life you've saved because of your genuine contents and i love and appreciate you for that girl
Try lime juice it will lighten the skin and act as deodorant ! It worked for my daughter . Deodorant has too many chemicals that stay on the skin and mix with normal bacteria hence the dark underarms.
I know it some years but I’m glad you just simplify what you have to do. People using lemons, potatoes peels, bananas peels, etc. just simply spend extra time focusing the area!
I have very dark underarms. I've started using Kojie soap twice a day for 5 minutes for underarm. I exfoliate with body exfoliator from body shop (not a brush) but might try the brush. For night time I then use cocoa butter with vitamin E to moisturise my underarm. Then for deodorant I use natural deodorant from Holland and barrett called salt of the earth. I'll try to come back to this comment with updates. Update: kojic soap didnt work I think made worse!
Thank you Ms. Lady. Good information. I've been getting frustrated with this for over 6 years. It is very embarrassing to wear tank tops. Thank you again.🙂🤗
I use the same soap, it's active ingredient is kojic acid and we love it hear back home. I buy the scraps/cutoffs from the manufacturer at about 4$ a kilo. Also for natural deo, I put about 4 tablets of vitamin c and add a thumb size amount of pure aloe vera to that, let it sit. It'll become lotion-y in consistency and that's what I use as a deo; it alse exfoliates lightly and has actually lightened my underarms quite a bit (mine looked the same as your before). I love your delivery, btw, not scarily cheery. New subbie!
Thanks for your video! I bought the Vanity brush and switched to the Soft & Dri deodorant and exfoliated regularly and my underarms are back to normal! I am soo happy! :) I was soo insecure about the way they looked. It did take a while but well worth it! Thanks again ! :)
I've never waxed but shaving with coconut oil and using an electronic shaver changed my life! I need to exfoliate more maybe as I only do so once a week. Great tip on using the spin brush will definitely be incorporating it into my routine for that use now .
Great video! I ordered that skin lightening soap for my son Bc it was recommended by another RUclipsr so I'm excited to see what it does for him. Going to try the natural soap as well. Thank! Very informative!
This is my first comment ever on someone’s page lol , this video caught my interest, I have just looked up everything you used & for sure will be buying them to see if it works for me *fingers crossed*
I definitely think deodorants contribute to the dark armpits. I have been trying to avoid deodorants for a long time. I don't think it is healthy for your body. women with breast cancer are often advised not use them although they have not found any conclusive link. many of the natural deordants are ineffective. however look for the ones that say benefit demonstrated in clinical trial. I found one with tea tree oil and it works well but not easy to apply (woods body goods). I have also tried toms but I sweat a lot in the summer and I didn't want to stink at work.Take it easy on the armpits they look good. don't overdo it. funny I ended up with a reaction to the soft and dry.
I definitely agree. I cannot use Ban, Soft n Dri and clear deodorants they make my armpits very dark but with discontinued use the extreme darkness went away.
literally agree with you about waxing. But I'm now living in Africa particularly Cameroon and it not easy to get waxing so I'm using lemon to highlight those part. So it my naturally method. And I wanted to share it with you and other girls. 💛💙💚
Hey! another alternative to waxing is epilating (you can buy a good one for like $30 and you just use batteries or a plug). I have never waxed but just epilating instead of shaving made my pits so much lighter after 2 or 3 times
I don't know if anyone shared already but Target, Whole Foods & the Vitamin Shoppe sells the Dr. Bronner soap. I also get them from the Thrive Market online. I LOVE them!! Thanks for sharing your tips! I'm going to try some of them starting this week 👍👍

I am Going through detox period because I switched to natural deodorant and believe my Armpit are getting darker because of It, your results are awesome!!! I’m starting this process today!!
@@englishwithaltini It definitely did get lighter. I'm doing it for more than a month now. The difference is not like in the video but at least there's progress. I will still continue doing it. 😁
Lush has a natural deodorant called aromaco. I have only used it for two days I made the switch because I get blackheads and clogged pores but so far this has been working I was nervous of it wearing off at the gym but it didn't. hope this recommendation helps
Hi. I was on amazon checking out the products you used in this video. A whitening cream came up while I was searching so I clicked on it and OMG, someone used your pictures from this video to show how the cream works. The person used the name Mallory Grisom. Thought you should know. Btw this video was very helpful.
Great Natural deodorant... try Green Beaver. I just started using it. They come in a few different scents. I get my stash from well.ca, but I'm sure you can find it in stores. I've been using different brand natural deodorants for 7+ years and this brand is in the very top of my list. The scent is not over powering and complements any fragrances you use. They also have a non scented type. Edit to add: the Green Beaver Company is Canadian too! Sorry if this "review" sounds like a paid endorsement. I'm a marketer so sometimes I come off like that. I have no affiliation to the company. The stuff just works!
Mine lightened a lot after using ( lemon, cucumber, potato juice) then put it into a fridge because lemons when they are cold they won't burn your armpits. And I use a moisturizer for sensitive skin ( no perfume in it) works Amaizing. You HAVE to moisturize everyDay Especially after a shower because your pores will open up. I also used wax sheets and they removed a lot of dead skin. It took me 2 months and it lightened a lot but it's still has some darkness to it. Mabey if I continued on that for a good 6 months it will disappear :) ( just an advice)
Trust me, it was a blessing when I saw this video...I've been using this method for about 3 weeks and the result is AMAZING!! Thank you!! I was always embarrassed with my underarms but this really helps! Omg 😁😁😁 I'm a happy camper
U can grab a potato, cut it in half and rub the exposed part in your armpit. rub until the potato is dark and let your armpit sit. Take a shower and rinse it off! also works for black necks too.

Issa Sad Child this works fr. I used it for a while.

I personally think it's because of some of these "hygiene" practices. razors makes cuts on your skin and scars it up, even if you don't see it, using these hygiene products with so many unhealthy chemicals it in it fucks up our skin(they do this to make us buy more products lol. they know that if we found out we only need a few products to take care of our bodies that would mean less money for they overall) it's even in pads and tampons and our food and shit. they poison us just enough to not be dead immediately, so they can take advantage of our half to barely functioning minds.
***** I never said all women. I'll make another point on that note, you do not know ALL women's experiences. Period.
Awesome zebra because you have pigments
Awesome zebra everyone suffers from it but the more melanin you have the worse. You are still technically considered a WOC
I agree, it is definitely more of a problem with WOC, there's very few white girls who discoloration in these places. Some do, but a lot of times it's just in there thighs or me neck if they are overweight due to friction. But it's not naturally as much of an issue there
This was so helpful, I needed these tips. And yes please to a body routine video.
i use that soap on my face and ive been getting compliments everyday, i wish i was kidding
Kojie San is very popular here in the Philippines . We can buy it over the counter. It's really effective but easily to dissolved in water because of the ingredient - glycerin. 4 years of using kojie san soap and cream. My arm pit is really light and smooth .
I use the exact same steps. I also use potato slices at night. For deodorant I use crystal rock. My underarms were a lot darker than yours and I'm an nc45. They are now even, if not maybe a bit lighter than the rest of my body.
+Liza Delyla oh wow. That's awesome
Liza Delyla How do you use the potato slice? What do I need to do?
CeeCee Harris use a thin slice and rub it for a few seconds. I leave it overnight and wash off during my morning shower. I also use koji, exfoliate with a spin brush (not this one), and crystal rock deodorant.
Liza Delyla I just told my mother about your post. She used to always say that her mom used to say (back in the 40s 50s) that people with arm pit stink used or should use an "Irish potato" underneath their arms. smh Alllll this time I thought she was crazy for coming up with this but here you are in 2017 on the innanets talking about it. 😂😂😂😂😂wow!
@Liza Delyla how long it takes
Im glad you made this video, I've been working on lightening my underarms.
Great information. Thanks! my favorite natural deodorant is Schmidt's especially the Rose-Vanilla.
Kojie San is VERY popular here in the Philippines. It really works! Whitens your skin (it can be used on your face but wear sunscreen & dont stay under the sun) and dries out pimples. It is a really really nice product tho u need to moisturize right after since it can be drying
Thanks for the tip girl! I also stopped using deodorants that are not all natural. You should try the Schmidt's and the bergamot lime is my favorite! Definitely worth trying.
One that is better than Schmidt and all the other natural deodorants is Lumé.
I did this and the result was instant 10shades lighter just from exfoliating!will look for the soap and deo to compliment the results.thanks gal for the tip.
I use Native natural deodorant which is also aluminum free. I buy it online. My dark underarms started AFTER I started using this deodorant. Also, Dr. Bronner's castille soap is amazing! I use the peppermint scented. Thank you for this video.
TeeMa J I just started using Native too and noticed this week! Not sure if I want to continue but it’s the best natural deodorant I’ve found that works.
i noticed the same thing with the Native deodorant.
Oh wow I never thought of exfoliating my armpit.. I’m gonna do it right now. TY
Thank you lady! this was so great, I had switched deodorant but was not exfoliating. My underarms are getting so much better
Definitely following this regimen and adding weekly bentonite clay masks to detox my pits 🙋🏾♀️
Great tips! The only thing I would recommend is try lasering. Waxing was a good alternative to shaving, but lasering my underarms changed my life. I struggled with hairy pits and wax appointments were happening too soon, but since I got laser I have shaved in over a year! It's amazing and SO worth the money. It does not hurt that much and you will save money in the long run. Also waxing makes the pores bigger cause you are ripping the hair out. I noticed that even tho I was hair free the pores were big and not looking cute. So try looking into waxing! Also I know ppl who rub lemon on their underarms for like 5 mins, wait then wash it, and it works!
I just purchased my spin brush using ur discount code!! Liked ur video so informative & I can see a huge difference! ! finally I got that spin brush!!
I'm allergic to aluminum, so I've tried out many different aluminum-free and natural deodorants. My favorite by far is Tom's of Maine, as it at least feels like it helps with sweating, and not just will odor. I'm also pretty sure it's natural. The deodorants that are like crystals that you roll on are sort of annoying and don't help with sweating at all. But obviously, to each her own!
+Maiya Thanks!
Which on do you specifically get? I’m also having the same issue
OH MY I knew it was that soap when I saw you applying it on the spin brush! That's actually a very famous soap in PH *o* I never knew how effective that is until I saw this vid! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and tips you don't know how much life you've saved because of your genuine contents and i love and appreciate you for that girl
Try lime juice it will lighten the skin and act as deodorant ! It worked for my daughter . Deodorant has too many chemicals that stay on the skin and mix with normal bacteria hence the dark underarms.
I know it some years but I’m glad you just simplify what you have to do. People using lemons, potatoes peels, bananas peels, etc. just simply spend extra time focusing the area!
I have very dark underarms. I've started using Kojie soap twice a day for 5 minutes for underarm. I exfoliate with body exfoliator from body shop (not a brush) but might try the brush. For night time I then use cocoa butter with vitamin E to moisturise my underarm. Then for deodorant I use natural deodorant from Holland and barrett called salt of the earth. I'll try to come back to this comment with updates.
Update: kojic soap didnt work I think made worse!
Have you had any results? Where did you get the soap!
Thank you Ms. Lady. Good information. I've been getting frustrated with this for over 6 years. It is very embarrassing to wear tank tops. Thank you again.🙂🤗
Your twist out looks amazing with the side part. I'm always #teamsidepart!
The struggles! thanks for the tips👌
That deodorant u r using is literally the only one i use. It really help lighting my underarm
+Cynthia Louis yes i love it
I use the same soap, it's active ingredient is kojic acid and we love it hear back home. I buy the scraps/cutoffs from the manufacturer at about 4$ a kilo. Also for natural deo, I put about 4 tablets of vitamin c and add a thumb size amount of pure aloe vera to that, let it sit. It'll become lotion-y in consistency and that's what I use as a deo; it alse exfoliates lightly and has actually lightened my underarms quite a bit (mine looked the same as your before). I love your delivery, btw, not scarily cheery. New subbie!
Thanks for your video! I bought the Vanity brush and switched to the Soft & Dri deodorant and exfoliated regularly and my underarms are back to normal! I am soo happy! :) I was soo insecure about the way they looked. It did take a while but well worth it! Thanks again ! :)
I found that soap at Target. It's really good, thanks for the tips! I'll be trying it
Hey! I just bought spin brush by using your code!!! Thanks for sharing info!! Yassss
I've never waxed but shaving with coconut oil and using an electronic shaver changed my life! I need to exfoliate more maybe as I only do so once a week. Great tip on using the spin brush will definitely be incorporating it into my routine for that use now .
what kind of electric shaver do you use?
Yea that camera job is so enviable
This is so helpful, I have the same issue. Thank you for making this video 💜💛
Love this!! First video that actually shows results, thanks!!
Great video! I ordered that skin lightening soap for my son Bc it was recommended by another RUclipsr so I'm excited to see what it does for him. Going to try the natural soap as well. Thank! Very informative!
+Danielle Covington no problem
Did it work for you??
This is my first comment ever on someone’s page lol , this video caught my interest, I have just looked up everything you used & for sure will be buying them to see if it works for me *fingers crossed*
I definitely think deodorants contribute to the dark armpits. I have been trying to avoid deodorants for a long time. I don't think it is healthy for your body. women with breast cancer are often advised not use them although they have not found any conclusive link. many of the natural deordants are ineffective. however look for the ones that say benefit demonstrated in clinical trial. I found one with tea tree oil and it works well but not easy to apply (woods body goods). I have also tried toms but I sweat a lot in the summer and I didn't want to stink at work.Take it easy on the armpits they look good. don't overdo it. funny I ended up with a reaction to the soft and dry.
Its the aluminum in the deodorant that can cause cancer and if you have breast cancer you are supposed to avoid the aluminum and toxins.
try lush! i use their deodorant and they are the best!
I definitely agree. I cannot use Ban, Soft n Dri and clear deodorants they make my armpits very dark but with discontinued use the extreme darkness went away.
I like how you are so honest
Just bought the spin brush. Thank you for recommending and coupon codes. 😊
You're eyebrows are life.
I’m in the EXACT same boat, as far as wearing long-sleeve t-shirts to the gym 😭 I really hope this works out for me too!
SAME 😭😭😭
With the one year warrenty it makes sense to get a new one every year...thank you. i might get this.
Thanks for sharing about aluminum free deodorants. I just checked my deo, and it has aluminum! 😱 will be throwing that out!
Didn't even finish watching the video had to order the brush ASAP!👌🏾
+Vanessa enjoy!
literally agree with you about waxing. But I'm now living in Africa particularly Cameroon and it not easy to get waxing so I'm using lemon to highlight those part. So it my naturally method. And I wanted to share it with you and other girls. 💛💙💚
+Jacky Emfashion thank you
Hey! another alternative to waxing is epilating (you can buy a good one for like $30 and you just use batteries or a plug). I have never waxed but just epilating instead of shaving made my pits so much lighter after 2 or 3 times
Jacky Emfashion make your own wax with sugar water salt etc and sugar wax at home
Noooooo, lemon is too harsh for most skins.
Jacky Emfashion try making suger wax at home
I was going to wait but I just ordered mines can't wait till it comes !!
Your whitening soap is everywhere in PHILIPPINES! 😁
Yes i also got it from a phillipino shop in.Hong kong hahah
Benie does it actually lighten
@@NeonPinkClouds yes. It does lighten good. Every night take a shower and use it as your nightly lotion.
I'm so scared to use it😂...
I used it for like 3 weeks and it didnt help that much tbh
i love your hair, i think you are an all around genuinely nice person (please excuse my english)
I don't know if anyone shared already but Target, Whole Foods & the Vitamin Shoppe sells the Dr. Bronner soap. I also get them from the Thrive Market online. I LOVE them!!
Thanks for sharing your tips! I'm going to try some of them starting this week 👍👍

I am Going through detox period because I switched to natural deodorant and believe my Armpit are getting darker because of It, your results are awesome!!! I’m starting this process today!!
Currently on my 3rd day. I really hope this works. I do it twice a day too.
yes it should
Any update?
@@englishwithaltini It definitely did get lighter. I'm doing it for more than a month now. The difference is not like in the video but at least there's progress. I will still continue doing it. 😁
Great tips for a problem that many of us have. Will definitely b exfoliating!
Girl I'm now finding out about have to lotion my underarm. It's not flakey or anything but I've been going about my life not lotioning my underarm.
Your hair is super cute! Thank you for the video!
Lush has a natural deodorant called aromaco. I have only used it for two days I made the switch because I get blackheads and clogged pores but so far this has been working I was nervous of it wearing off at the gym but it didn't. hope this recommendation helps
+Lisa Janai thanks
Thanks for these tips. I've been trying to find a method to handle my armpits. Thanks much.
Hi. I was on amazon checking out the products you used in this video. A whitening cream came up while I was searching so I clicked on it and OMG, someone used your pictures from this video to show how the cream works. The person used the name Mallory Grisom. Thought you should know. Btw this video was very helpful.
Just wow!
Yes your skin looks nice
We all need to work on that
💜💜💜💜💜
thanks
Great Natural deodorant... try Green Beaver. I just started using it. They come in a few different scents. I get my stash from well.ca, but I'm sure you can find it in stores. I've been using different brand natural deodorants for 7+ years and this brand is in the very top of my list. The scent is not over powering and complements any fragrances you use. They also have a non scented type.
Edit to add: the Green Beaver Company is Canadian too!
Sorry if this "review" sounds like a paid endorsement. I'm a marketer so sometimes I come off like that. I have no affiliation to the company. The stuff just works!
+Napalie McG thanks
No problem! Just so you know, well.ca has all Green Beaver stuff on sale! 25% off.
Mine lightened a lot after using ( lemon, cucumber, potato juice) then put it into a fridge because lemons when they are cold they won't burn your armpits. And I use a moisturizer for sensitive skin ( no perfume in it) works Amaizing. You HAVE to moisturize everyDay Especially after a shower because your pores will open up. I also used wax sheets and they removed a lot of dead skin. It took me 2 months and it lightened a lot but it's still has some darkness to it. Mabey if I continued on that for a good 6 months it will disappear :) ( just an advice)
Trust me, it was a blessing when I saw this video...I've been using this method for about 3 weeks and the result is AMAZING!! Thank you!! I was always embarrassed with my underarms but this really helps! Omg 😁😁😁 I'm a happy camper
