Asides from its numerous health benefits, lemon juice is also used in lightening underarms and dark spots. Although, it takes a while before the results become visible; sometimes 3 to 4 weeks (patience is key).
For Dark Spots
You'll need cotton wool and lemon juice.
Dip the cotton wool in lemon juice and apply on the affected area. You can leave it for about 30 minutes or overnight.
For Dark Underarm
Just rub a slice of lemon on the affected area, and leave it for about 15 minutes before rinsing it off.
N/B: Be careful not to use this everyday as lemon juice contains properties that can dry out the skin.
