How To Remove Underarm Stains After Childbirth?
Removing underarm stains is not an easy task. We refer to those dark shadows that sometimes appear during pregnancy and don’t come off after delivery.
Regarding underarm blemishes, the first thing you should know is that not all pigmentation and skin are the same.
Nobody can give you a foolproof recipe or a magic trick to get rid of stains, mainly because maybe what works for other people doesn’t work for you.
Therefore, we decided to present the best ideas for you to try and then comment on the recipe that worked best.
Your health, beauty and experience are important to us.
Recipes to remove underarm stains
potato water
Take a potato, wash it well, cut it into pieces and blend it in a blender with water. You will notice that as soon as you start to beat, the potato will release a liquid.
This juice is what will be used to remove the underarm stains.
Apply the potato juice using gauze and making a compress. Leave on for 15 minutes. Repeat the process three times a day for three weeks.
After each session, remove the gauze and allow the juice to dry naturally in your armpits. Then wash normally with soap and water.
Baking soda and lemon
Lemon juice is a very popular natural product to lighten blemishes.
To make this recipe, cut a lemon in half, sprinkle it with baking soda, and rub it gently under your armpits.
Then leave the underarms with the lemon for about 5 minutes and remove the mixture with soap and running water. Dry and spread a powder or a refreshing cream.
Use this recipe three times a day for two weeks. If you notice that your skin is irritated or not lightening, abandon this method.
Sugar and hydrogen peroxide
Exfoliate the skin under your arms using pure sugar. Before doing this, wet your underarms with water. Then take a handful of sugar and rub in for 1 minute.
Then wash with soap and water. Finally, dry the area and apply compresses soaked in hydrogen peroxide for 15 minutes.
Apply this recipe twice a day for a period of three weeks.
pumice and milk
First, wet your armpits with water. Then exfoliate the underarm skin with pumice stone for about 1 minute each.
Then wash with plenty of soap and water. And, finally, put milk compresses and let it act for 15 minutes.
Do it for 1 full month to see results.
sugar and vinegar
Use sugar to exfoliate your underarm skin for about 1 minute. Remember that you must wet them with water before you start to exfoliate.
After exfoliation, wash with water. Then clean the area and apply vinegar-soaked compresses for 20 minutes, between two and three times a day.
Finally, clean the vinegar with soap and water and dry thoroughly.
This idea must be held for a month.
How to remove underarm stains after childbirth?
Underarm blemishes usually have several causes:
- Lack of hygiene in this area.
- Constant friction with clothes.
- Prolonged use of deodorants with alcohol and other hygiene products.
- Excess sweat and dead cells mix with dirt. Sometimes they can stay there for a whole day.
- Genetic causes.
Dark spots under the arms that appear during pregnancy sometimes disappear on their own after delivery.
If this is not your case, try to put into practice some of our recipes mentioned above, maintain good hygiene in the area and avoid using deodorants with alcohol.
Ah! Very important: although all the recipes we suggest are made with natural products, they must be made with an adequate interval from the time of breastfeeding for your baby’s protection.
That way, take advantage of the hours when he is sleeping to try!
