Ready for \u201csummer in December\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While women DGAF <\/em>about what men \u2014 well, other people in general<\/em> \u2014 think about their bodies, some girls just want to remove discoloration of their bikini lines<\/strong> from their long list of problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although having dark private areas is no public matter\u00a0(hehe),\u00a0<\/em>some of us are just more comfortable baring our bodies more freely, wearing whatever the\u00a0hell\u00a0<\/em>we want without thinking about hyper-pigmentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For most of us, doing just that is a problem.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it\u2019s bikini season, most girls feel like they should just hide.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But having dark bikini lines does not mean you\u2019re not cut out for wearing a bikini or that you\u2019re unhygienic! It\u2019s a natural, cosmetic problem most <\/em>\u2014 if not all \u2014 of us go through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what if I told you that there are at least<\/em> five effective home remedies you could try to get rid of the discoloration between your inner thighs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now,\u00a0THREAD<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>ain\u2019t like no other ~media company~ so don\u2019t expect that I\u2019ve personally tried these pastes and gels myself. I did some research, yes, but I guess you could say it\u2019s not\u00a0that\u00a0<\/em>thorough, seeing as I don\u2019t have personal photos and videos as proof of their effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I\u2019ve read that these things do have intense whitening properties so\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

Channel your inner Nadine Lustre in these five effective home remedies to whiten your bikini area:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

1) Baking soda<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Surprise surprise! NaHCO3 \u2014 sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) has so many uses, one of them being an excellent exfoliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start by mixing 2 tablespoons of baking soda with 1 tablespoon of water.\u00a0Disclaimer:<\/strong>\u00a0I don\u2019t really know how much you need, but the ratio of baking soda to water is 2:1, so build on that. Afterwards, apply it on your pubic area and keep it on for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse off with water and repeat twice a week for maximum effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2) Aloe vera<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Good news: Aloe vera does not just help lighten your skin, it also helps repair skin cells! Extract aloe vera gel from the leaf and apply directly on your dark pubic area. After 20 minutes, wash it off with water. Use twice daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

3) Almonds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Almonds (both whole almonds and almond oil) have vitamin A and E, which are good for exfoliating and softening the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To use whole almonds:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
