Brilio.net - Dark armpits are often a source of problems for some people. Darkening skin color in this area is often associated with poor hygiene, when in fact, the cause can be much more complex. Starting from repeated friction, the use of deodorants containing harsh chemicals, to certain medical conditions such as acanthosis nigricans can be the trigger.
This problem is even more disturbing if accompanied by an unpleasant odor. The combination of dark underarm color and uncomfortable body odor makes many people feel awkward or even avoid certain social activities. Body odor itself usually appears due to the interaction between sweat and bacteria on the surface of the skin, and if underarm hygiene is not maintained properly, the risk of odor is greater.
Dark underarms and bad odor treatment can actually be done with simple steps, as long as they are routine and targeted. Starting from light exfoliation, choosing a skin-friendly deodorant, to using natural ingredients such as turmeric, honey, and coconut oil.

A mixture of turmeric, honey, and coconut oil is believed to be effective in helping to overcome dark underarms while reducing unpleasant odors because these three ingredients have natural properties that complement each other. Turmeric contains curcumin, an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compound that can brighten the skin and inhibit excess melanin production, the main cause of dark skin. Honey acts as a natural antibacterial that helps fight bacteria that cause body odor while moisturizing the skin, so that the underarms are not dry and irritated.
Meanwhile, coconut oil is rich in lauric acid which is also antimicrobial and helps soften and nourish the skin. When used regularly, this combination can help remove dead skin cells, balance skin moisture, and provide a natural brightening effect on the underarm area without harsh chemicals.
