Mustard. Slap it on, leave for 5 minutes, wash off. I will admit it sounds absolutely bonkers and I felt so stupid putting mustard on my pits but it bloody worked!

@Mumoftwotoddlers what type of mustard?!

Mumoftwotoddlers · 14/10/2023 13:49

I used cheap Sainsbury's own so I don't think it really matters, probably avoid a Dijon as it might be a bit rough, unless you want the exfoliating properties, in which case go for it. I know it sounds completely insane but I promise it worked for me, also works on upper thigh areas if you have discoloration from being overweight or chafing

Haha yes it does sound strange but I'm willing to give it a try how long should I leave the mustard on for do you know or doesn't it matter I've heard putting a piece of potato under your armpit works aswell lol it's crazy isn't it xx

Do you also have darker areas around your neck and groin? Is this skin dry and velvety? If so, it's worth having a check up with your GP, as this can sometimes be a sign of diabetes or hormonal problems that require treatment.
