Prepare the mixture:
Take 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda.
Mix in 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
Stir the mixture until it forms a smooth paste.
Application:
Clean the affected areas (armpits or thighs) with warm water to open the pores.
Apply the mixture evenly to your armpits or inner thighs, gently massaging in a circular motion for 2-3 minutes.
Let the paste sit for 10-15 minutes.
Rinse off:
After the mixture has dried, rinse it off with lukewarm water.
Pat the skin dry and apply a light moisturiser to keep the skin hydrated.
Use this remedy 2-3 times a week for noticeable results over time. Consistency is key!
Avoid shaving or using harsh deodorants during the process, as these can contribute to darkening.
Patch test: Always do a patch test on a small area of your skin to ensure you don’t have any allergic reactions to the lemon juice or baking soda.
