Turmeric is known for its antiseptic and antibacterial properties. Take turmeric and mint juice and make a paste. Apply this on the affected area and leave it on for about 20 minutes until it dries completely and then wash.

Dark Underarms

Add one tbsp of honey and 3-4 tbsp of lemon juice, mix well with 2-3 pinches of turmeric powder. Apply it on your underarm area for 10-15 minutes and then rinse off. Try this remedy daily to get rid of dark underarm area.

Clear Bright Skin

Mix ½ tbsp of turmeric powder, 1 tbsp. of rose water, 2 tbsp of milk cream and blend it well. Apply on face and leave for 1-2 hour. Wash it off with lukewarm water when it dries.

Dark Circles
