The underarm. Kili-kili. Dark underarm is not a problem unless you fancy wearing a sleeveless top. Women are becoming conscious of the appearance of their underarm and those not blessed with commercial deodorant-worthy armpit are embarrassed to raise their arms. Darkening of the underarm is common among women but men are not spared with this problem.
Causes of Underarm Darkening
HYPERPIGMENTATION. This usually occurs to pregnant women. Hormonal changes happen during pregnancy and alter the production of melanin. Body parts affected by hyperpigmentation are the underarm, neck and groin.
CHEMICALS. Chemicals used in anti-perspirant and deodorant can cause skin darkening.
PLUCKING AND SHAVING. Plucking your underarm can result to having chicken skin while shaving irritates the skin.
Even though I know that the best way to care for the underarm is by waxing, I am guilty of plucking and sometimes shaving. I'm considering IPL for hair removal soon as advised by my dermatologist. But for now, I make sure that I take care of my underarm. I usually get red spots after plucking that sometimes turn brownish. And though I regularly exfoliate to remove deodorant residue, my underarm is not as flawless as I want it to be.
I've been using the Belo Essentials Underarm Whitening Cream for 10 days and I am somehow happy with the result on my skin. I love this product because it doesn't feel sticky and is easily absorbed by the skin. It also comes in an easy-squeeze bottle.
