Brilio.net - The growth of armpit hair is a natural thing that everyone experiences. Sometimes armpit hair that grows so thick can make some people uncomfortable and uncomfortable. The reason is, long armpit hair makes the underarm skin itchy. But behind that, the growth of armpit hair has benefits for the human body.

One of the main reasons why the human body has hair is for protection. Armpit hair can help protect the sensitive skin in that area from friction and irritation that can occur due to clothing rubbing or physical activity. Feathers also play a role in regulating body temperature.

Even though the armpits are not directly exposed to sunlight, these hairs help regulate air flow around the area, and help cool the body when temperatures rise. Meanwhile, armpit hair growing thick can occur due to genetic, hormonal and environmental factors. Even though it grows thickly, you don't need to worry.

You can remove armpit hair in various ways, starting from plucking using tweezers, shaving, and using the waxing method. When waxing, you definitely need cream. So, on average, this waxing cream is sold for more than IDR 40 thousand.

Seeing that the price is less friendly, you can replace waxing cream products with natural ingredients. As was done by a doctor named Ema. In an upload on the YouTube channel @dr.Emasuperr, he recommends granulated sugar mixed with lime to replace the use of waxing cream.

Granulated sugar has a coarse texture and can be used as a natural exfoliating agent. When used to scrub the skin, granulated sugar helps remove dead skin cells and dirt stuck to the hair in the armpits, thereby helping clean and even out the skin.

Reporting from shape.com, this citric acid content can also reduce the possibility of hyperpigmentation after waxing. On the other hand, some people believe that regular use of a mixture of granulated sugar and lime can help inhibit hair growth in the armpits.

Although there is no strong scientific evidence to support this claim, some people say that regular use of this mixture can make hair grow thinner and slower.

Lime helps eliminate the smell of sweat
