Dark underarms can trigger self-consciousness, particularly during warmer seasons. Potatoes provide a natural and mild method to brighten the skin. Method 1: Cut a potato into slices and massage the slices on your underarms for approximately three minutes. Allow the juice to remain for 30 minutes, then rinse with cold water. Method 2: Blend a potato into a creamy mash and spread it on your underarms. Leave it there for 10 minutes, then rinse with cool water and gently pat dry. For optimal outcomes, practice either method twice daily for a minimum of four weeks.
