3 Ways to Get Silky Smooth Armpits Without Shaving Them

3 Ways to Get Silky Smooth Armpits Without Shaving Them

Summer is the time to wear light dresses, tank tops, shorts, and of course, bikinis. These are beautiful and all, but it is a real headache for people who like their legs and armpits to be hair-free. Shaving causes irritation, ingrown hair, and results lasting only 24 hours maximum.

Bright Side has collected 5 homemade ways to combat body hair so we can throw the razor away once and for all. If you really want it, take a look at our suggestions and don't miss our bonus at the end of the article!

1. Turmeric + baking soda

If you prefer to eat papaya instead of wasting it on hair removal, here is a less exotic remedy. It is really easy to do, and the results are made to see faster than you think.

To do this, put 1 part turmeric, 2 parts baking soda, and mix with water.

Add the water gradually while mixing the ingredients to make a skinny paste.

Apply this thick paste to your armpits and let it dry.

Rub the mixture with your hands, then wash and pat your armpits dry to towel dry.

Remember that turmeric has a bright orange color and your skin may change a bit, so be patient and be prepared to rub more.

2. Sugar + lemon juice

Sugar and lemon are well-known ingredients when it comes to combating unwanted hair. They are components of a sugary paste, a wax-like substance that removes hair easily and for a long time. Although the process is painful, the results can last up to 4 weeks and do not cause as much ingrown hair.

By the way, if you add honey, you can easily do it in a microwave. For this you will need:

1 cup of sugar

1/4 cup honey

1/2 lemon juice (2 tablespoons)

Mix the ingredients in a bowl and stir until smooth, then microwave for 2 minutes. Take it out and stir every 20 to 30 seconds. Let cool before using it.

Lemon is acidic, so it also acts as a bleaching agent, making your hair look almost imperceptible while slowing down its growth. Here is a remedy that can help you with this:

Take 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1/2 cups of warm water.

Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and mix well.

Apply this mixture on the armpits and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Wash in lukewarm water using light rubbing movements.

Repeat this procedure 2 to 3 times a week.

If you use these 2 products, you will not have problems between your sugar sessions, such as when your hair becomes visible but it is not long enough to remove it or remove it from the desired place.

3. Milk + turmeric

Here is another remedy to grow underarm hair slower and thinner more and more. All you need is:

3 teaspoons turmeric powder

1 tablespoon of milk

Easy, right? Now mix these two products into a thick paste and apply it to your armpits for about 20 to 30 minutes until the paste is completely dry. When the time is up, take a cloth, moisten with warm water and rub the mask in circular movements. After that, wash what is left and dry it with a towel. Repeat regularly for a visible effect.
