5 ways to get rid of darker inner thigh

Causes:

1. Excess sweat and tight clothes may cause darker thighs.

2. Some medical treatment can cause skin changes, including oral contraceptives.

3. Some women notice their inner thighs darken during parts of their menstrual cycle; hormonal changes from pregnancy can also cause darkening of skin.

4. Being on the fat side can cause your thighs to rub against each other when you walk thereby causing discolouration of the inner thigh.

Solutions:

1. Baking Soda

Baking soda can help brighten the darker tone of your inner thighs by working as an exfoliating agent.

Mix baking soda and milk or water to make a paste. Add a little honey and mix well then apply it on your thighs and rub gently in circular motions for a couple of minutes. Lastly, rinse it off with lukewarm water. Repeat every other day.

2. Orange Peels

Orange peels contain vitamin C that works as a natural bleaching agent. They also contain exfoliating properties that help get rid of dead or damaged skin cells.

Put some orange peels in the sun for a few days to dry. Grind the dried peels into a powder. And then put some of the powder in a bowl and add enough rose water to make a thick paste. Add in some honey. Apply this paste on your inner thighs and wait 15 to 20 minutes. Gently scrub off the paste then rinse the area with cold water. Repeat 2 or 3 times a week.

3. Cucumbers

Cucumbers have a natural bleaching property that can help lighten your dark inner thighs. More so, several components in cucumbers help repair skin cells and remove dead skin cells. The soothing nature of cucumbers suits all skin types.

Gently rub cucumber slices or cucumber juice on your thighs for 10 minutes. Wait 5 minutes, and then rinse it off with water. Repeat once or twice daily.

 4. Coconut Oil

Coconut oil also helps lighten and revitalizes the skin. Plus, its antioxidant and moisturizing properties helps you maintain soft and younger-looking skin.

Mix together some coconut oil and lemon juice. Apply the solution on your inner thighs and massage gently for 10 to 15 minutes. Leave for another 5 minutes, then rinse it off with warm water. Use this treatment every day.

5. Lemon

The acidic property of lemon works as a natural bleaching agent for dark skin. The high vitamin C content also encourages new cell growth and is very good for your skin complexion.

Apply lemon juice (dilute the lemon juice with water for those who have sensitive skin) to your dark inner thigh using a cotton ball. Leave it on for about 20 minutes then rinse it off with cold water. Repeat 2 or 3 times per week. Alternatively, you can combine the lemon juice and glycerin. Add rose water and mix well then apply this mixture on your inner thighs before going to bed. Leave it on overnight and rinse it off with warm water the next morning. Repeat this once daily.
