Brilio.net - Everyone wants their armpits to look white and avoid black spots, right? Not without reason, this is highly coveted by women because it can make them appear more confident. Especially for those who like to wear sleeveless clothes, aka sleeveles.
Talking about black underarms, this skin problem comes from various factors. In fact, some of them can be caused by daily activities, such as friction between the skin and the clothes worn.
Repeated friction between the skin and clothing or rough materials can cause irritation and inflammation of the underarm skin. This can cause excessive melanin production, which ultimately causes the skin color to become darker.
Apart from that, black underarm skin can also be caused by an inappropriate shaving routine. Shaving that is not done carefully or uses a blunt knife can cause irritation to the underarm skin and cause the armpits to turn black.
On the other hand, using inappropriate deodorant products is also the main cause of blackened underarms. This is because the deodorant contains harsh chemicals, such as alcohol, which causes the armpits to turn black. In addition, synthetic dyes in clothes or detergents containing harsh chemicals can also cause a dark skin reaction.
To brighten black underarms, you can follow the tricks shared by beauty vlogger smbeautylandstudio2305. In the uploaded video, which is a few seconds long, he uses kitchen ingredients, namely tomatoes, lemon, baking soda and aloe vera.

In addition, tomatoes have astringent properties which can help narrow skin pores and reduce excess oil production. So that the armpits do not spread a strong aroma.
Lemon contains citric acid which can help exfoliate dead layers of skin and brighten skin tone. Regular use of lemon can help reduce dark underarms and improve the overall appearance of the skin.
However, it is important to remember that lemon can cause irritation to sensitive skin, so it is necessary to dilute it with water before use and avoid direct sunlight after use. This is done to avoid irritating your skin.
Meanwhile, baking soda has natural exfoliating properties that can help remove dead skin cells and dirt that clogs pores. Regular use of baking soda as a scrub can help cleanse the skin, reduce inflammation, and reduce black underarms. However, keep in mind that baking soda can cause irritation to sensitive skin, so its use needs to be adjusted to each skin's needs.
The last ingredient is aloe vera, this ingredient has anti-inflammatory and cooling properties. This is believed to help relieve irritation and inflammation of the skin.
Aloe vera gel contains a compound called aloin, which can help brighten skin tone and reduce dark underarms. In addition, aloe vera is claimed to have moisturizing properties that can help maintain skin moisture and prevent it from becoming dry and rough.
