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
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
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
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
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
To use almond oils,<\/strong>\u00a0simply massage the affected area with warm almond oil for 5 minutes daily before going to bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lemon has acidic properties, which is why it\u2019s a bleaching remedy.<\/p>\n\n\n
To use more effectively, you can cut the lemon in half and rub them on your inner thighs. Leave them on for 10 to 15 minutes and then rinse with warm water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If it\u2019s too harsh for you, you can mix juice from 1\/2 of a lemon with 1\/2 teaspoon of honey (optional: with 1 tablespoon of plain yogurt OR sugar cystals). Apply it on affected area, leave for 10 minutes and then rinse with water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t forget to apply moisturizer or coconut oil to prevent dryness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because lemons are damn <\/em>expensive. And it\u2019s much easier to get calamansi here in the Philippines!<\/p>\n\n\n
Use the same way you would a lemon. Although it\u2019s less harsh on the skin so you could totally rub a calamansi on your dark pubic area and you wouldn\u2019t feel a thing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yup! Even tomatoes have bleaching properties!<\/p>\n\n\n
Although papaya is a known ingredient in most whitening products, the best way to maximize the effects of the fruit is the same as you would a lemon, orange peels, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Rub on the affected area, leave it on for 20 minutes, and then rinse with cool water! Use once daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the Philippines\u2019 sunny climate to thank, we\u2019re lucky to have been given the chance to make every season feel like summer. Now that December is finally here (read: \u201cTHE HOLIDAYS\u201d, \u201cvacation\u201d), <\/em>we can totally bask in the sun as we take a long break from school\/work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So don\u2019t let your dark private areas stop you from enjoying your summer in December! Try one of these home remedies (if you want to) and let us know how it goes in the comments section down below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
