Dark skin on the inner thighs is an embarrassing issue for both men and women. This problem even affects people who have fair skin.

There are many natural and safe ways to lighten the skin. Unless otherwise noted, use these remedies until you are satisfied with the result.

1. 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.

Alternatively, combine 1 tablespoon each of lemon juice and glycerin. Add 1 teaspoon of rose water and mix well. Apply this pack on your inner thighs before going to bed. Leave it on overnight and rinse it off with warm water the next morning. Do this once daily. As lemon can dry out your skin, apply a moisturizer after using these remedies.

Note: Avoid applying lemon on recently waxed or shaved thighs or if there are cuts.

2. Turmeric

 Turmeric inhibits melanin production, so you can use it to treat skin discoloration and maintain an even skin tone.
