Brilio.net - The armpits are one of the areas where the body folds are prone to blackening and swelling. The reason is that this part of the body often escapes care. Even though the armpits should have the same color as the skin on other parts of the body. Well, blackened armpit skin can reduce a person's self-confidence.
Dark underarm skin appears due to a buildup of dead skin cells or buildup. Not only that, black and patchy armpits can also be caused by using unsuitable deodorant, wrong shaving techniques, friction, wearing clothes that are too tight, and certain diseases that cause hyperpigmentation.
Well, because it can disturb your appearance, many people use whitening scrubs to brighten black, bumpy underarms. Whitening skincare products are effective in evening out skin tone to make it evenly brighter. But unfortunately, not everyone is suitable for using the whitening scrubs on the market. Even the relatively expensive price is quite burdensome for some people.
