3 Home Remedies For Dark Inner Thighs

Published

on

Anyone can get dark inner thighs. Be it from constant friction while walking or excess production of melanin, several factors contribute to the development of discoloration of your inner thighs. The good news is that there are natural ways to get rid of dark inner thighs. Below, we discuss 3 home remedies to help lighten them.

Anyone can develop dark inner thighs, regardless of their complexion. One of the main reasons for this is the excess production of melanin, a pigment that gives your skin its tone. Medically, this is referred to as hyperpigmentation.

Some factors that can cause your inner thighs to darken are:

  • Chafing that may occur while walking with wet or sweaty clothes on
  • Medications like chemotherapy drugs or oral hormonal contraceptives
  • Dry skin
  • Friction on the skin due to tight clothing

Dark inner thighs may force you to limit your choice of clothing and make you extremely self-conscious and hesitant. If you are seeking natural alternatives to this problem, we have your back. Listed below are some excellent home remedies that can assist in lightening dark inner thighs.

Turmeric

  • 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder
  • A few drops of water
Process
  1. Add a few drops of water to a teaspoon of turmeric powder.
  2. Mix well to form a paste.
  3. Apply the paste to the affected area.
  4. Leave it on for 20-30 minutes.
  5. Rinse it off with water.
Why This Works

Curcumin, the active component of turmeric, can inhibit melanogenesis and lighten dark inner thighs (6).

BAKING SODA

  • 1-2 cups of baking soda
  • Water

  2. Allow it to dissolve completely.
  3. Soak in the baking soda bath for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Pat your skin dry and apply a moisturizer.
Why This Works

Baking soda acts as a mild exfoliant on dry and scaly skin. Its alkaline nature can increase the skin’s pH and facilitate the removal of scaly skin (1). This may also help you get rid of dark inner thighs caused by dry skin.

  • 1 tablespoon of water
